I think he seems to excel at making saves that are blasted from quite short range but for some reason long range shots just seem to fly past him without him getting near the ball. I have to agree that his command of the penalty area ain't good, whereas the kid from Stoke at The Hawthorns before lock down made the penalty area his own, and anything coming into the six yard box was gonna be his. I also thought Bartley improved way beyond the previous season and looked a far better defender than I had originally credited him. He made a lot of important blocks in the area.
