Delighted if he stays. He's had his best games for us against Premiership teams.

I am not sure, in certain games he does an outstanding job without doubt. However the ability to score a few goals from a midfielder is essential and he does not have that in his locker. Does anyone know how many shots on goal he has had this season?

Brilliant guy. Consistently solid performer who always turns up on the big occasions, exactly the kind of mentality we need and have lacked in midfield in recent times.

Get it signed Marvin :greengrin :aok:

Far from essential.

Bartley is a midfield destroyer - someone who breaks up the play of opposing midfielders and wins key battles in that crucial area of play.
Granted, he does not score many goals and if he could add this to his game he would be one helluva player.
I'd be happy to see him stay.

He's scored as many goals for us as Javier Mascherano has for Barcelona in his 7 years there....
Zero. Sometimes there's more than just goals involved in a players contribution to the team?

How many goals have all the midfielders scored this season

Would be interested to find out who the manager that said hibs was a "dead end move" was and what he meant by it. Big Marv proving them wrong - think he's brilliant at what he does, great player to have for big games.

If a defensive midfielder scores a goal then he's not doing his job properly :greengrin

In his interviews, reminds me a bit of David Murphy - articulate and intelligent.

Sat Semi is tailor-made for Bartley, sitting in front of the back 4. Good guy :thumbsup:

Definitely a good move for Marv to move to us from Leyton Orient, who are about to be relegated out of League Two and are in severe financial difficulty.

The manager that said it was a "dead end move" could have been his manager at Leyton Orient, Ian Hendon, who was sacked by them 6 months after Marv joined us.

Or does anyone know how many shots on our goal he has prevented this season?

Scoring goals is not his job. Breaking up play and adding muscle to our midfield IS his job. To cite his goalscoring record as possible reason not to give him a new contract is mental.

Our best holding midfielder since Matty Jack. We'll miss him when he goes.

Agreed with the subtle point you make. Or indeed how many dangerous break aways he has prevented by getting stuck in and covering the back 4.

The Bartmans a good guy.

Not really his job. The rest of the midfield needs to chip in with goals though.

He is the sort of player we have been saying for years that we need so hopefully we can hold on to him. 'The Matty Jack Type'. :not worth

Hes not a holding midfielder tho.... Fyvie is. Bartley is spoiler. Great against hard midfields but is the last player you want if you want to actually keep the ball in possession.

I know what you're saying but Bartley has played many games as a holding midfielder for us.

Also I think his passing is underrated, doesn't create much but at the very least he usually retains possession

Claude Makelele scored 2 goals in over 200 games for Chelsea. Defensive midfielders don't need to score goals to be very important. Far from essential.

Finally a sensible post about a defensive midfielder!! 99% of this forum want 3 attacking central midfielders and 2 wingers playing. I for one hope to never see this. We'd be battered every week.

The defensive midfielders sole job is to get the ball back for us and give it to those guys who can play (McGinn, McGeouch etc). If you had a defensive midfielder who could tackle, pass, create and score he'd not be playing at ER that's for sure.

I think you understate his skill on the ball once he has won it. Great if he stays.

Hope he stays, love big Marv. And he's 10 times the player Matty Jack was. Jack was just lucky he had
sauzee, latapy and John O'neill to make him look good. Was a terrible player. The formation at the time meant he could just crunch people in the centre circle and look good, could hardly run the length of himself! Seen him out on the piss and smoking tabs on a few occasions while with us....

Anyway, mon the Marv! Get it signed big man!

Like Big Marv! Comes across as a really down to earth guy and clearly loves it up here!

Has done a tremendous jobs against teams in the Prem, most notably Hearts, does his job down to a T, spoils, wins the midfield battles.

Will be needed next season when we play the bigger 4 teams, Celtic, Rangers, Hearts and the sheep, they games will suit his playing style! People are quick to point out his lack of attacking threat, thats like saying a mechanic is crap at doing make up, he doesnt need to be good at attacking. There are 4 or 5 other players there to do that!

Really hope he signs a new deal!

Love the guy. His qualities would definitely serve us well in the SPL - probably more so than they have done in the Championship games.

McGinn's a great player but I think he needs a break. For a skilful player his game is extremely physical. He's looking a wee bit jaded and his distribution has been poor for a good few weeks now.
