How did Barton and Lee play on Saturday ?

The Premiership coverage doesn't really give us the time to view. Heard them getting a good reception.

Was Rob Lee really so anonymous he had to put a silly turban on to be seen ?

Does anyone miss them ?

I thought WB had a good game, although he was part of Derby's general defensive pandemonium in the final 20 minutes. RL I really didn't notice very much until he nutted Big Al - dorty git!

Pretty similar recolections to Clarky. Barton played well and linked well with the attack, particularly in the first half. Set up their second with a cross. Made some good tackles against Robert, tho in all honesty, I think 1/2 of us on here could have done that well in the first 70 mins.

I thought Lee did very little until he nutted big Al. Most noticeable thing after that was a header (first touch after returning). Unfortunatly for him, the ball wasn't cleared properly and we scored the equaliser soon after. Didn't last much longer after that. All-in-all, pretty annonymous. However, you'll be very pleased to know, Barton led the clapping very well indeed. He clapped his way from defence up to our end at the final whistle. Hasn't lost any of his skills in that department. 10/10.

It still feels strange to think Lee and Barton aren't still vying for places at United. Do you think they wake up in the morning and start off for SJP on a Saturday, before realising?
