Joey Barton must redeem himself against Hull after FA Cup meltdown
Joey Barton has been doing well since returning to Burnley from Rangers.Joey Barton's meltdown during Burnley's shock FA Cup exit to non-league side Lincoln City was embarrassing and the veteran midfielder has an immediate chance to put things right.
The Clarets head to Hull City on Saturday for the first of four successive away games in the Premier League -- they will not return to Turf Moor until April -- and all eyes will be on Barton.
After being dominated in the air by Lincoln's sturdy Matt Rhead during the 1-0 defeat, Barton resorted to trying to get the forward sent off by seemingly ducking into his elbow.
