Ashley Barnes - what's the point?

[Giraffe]

He was bloody brilliant today. Yes he fluffed some chances but he took a difficult one and was involved in most of best attacks.

I was chuffed when Ashley Barnes signed for us, yes for a lot of money rumoured to be £250,000 but he shows he cares for our club and works his socks off for our club.
He also now scored 3 goals this year - 2 in 2. No he will not be a 20 goal a year man but a fantastic player to have in our club.
I really like the guy and im delighted when hear he scores a goal.
I hope he will succeed here and i am pretty certain he will.
Keep up the great work Barnes

Anyone else reckon that Barnes 'Kiss My Ring' gesture following his goals is aimed at The Complete Badger?

No. that would be "kiss my ringpiece"

Considering he's only 20 I would say we have signed a very good player

As the likes of TCB don't rate him he must be.

Superb yesterday. Noticed on the telly that the keeper got as touch to his shot that hit the post. Very unlucky not to get a hat-trick. In the right place at the right time. Three so far this season I think. I'll predict he'll get 18 this season.

I think the front pairing of Muzza and Barn-es works really quite well. Murray always brilliant in the air and Barnes dropping off at times to collect and lay off. Yesterday Barn-es got into those positions where i would have hoped he'd have scored more, but as long as he keeps being wily in the box then he should carry on knocking them home and only getting better at it. When given a chance he generally gets it on target. Good stuff.

Barnes is a good player. I am sure he's disappointed that he missed the early chances, but it would be worse if he wasn't getting into scoring positions (like a number of other forwards in recent years).

I make that 11 goals in 19 starts for Brighton.

It's a good point. He is absolute turd. Joke signing.

Worth a reminder. Four goals in two games. Seven this season now I believe?

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Looks like he's our penalty taker now.

Barnes is brilliant. Heck, they all are. I love every single one of them in this team

Lovely composed finish tonight for his second, just strolled up and stroked it home, perfectly placed. It was quite Murrey-esque. He's getting better and better - so much of our build-up play comes of him just dropping off to help link up the play. He finds space and uses it.

Could have a real little gem on our hands there.

Not sure why, but one of my favourite recent posts now! Sums up my feelings perfectly! They can do no wrong..

Do you think this thread title will be on TCB's epitaph when he pops his clogs?
