If Barnes does happen to score on Saturday lets hope all the knockers apolgise for there unrelenting abuse for him.
It was always just a noisy but small minority (empty vessels), but far more fans got fed up with him after his 2 indiscretions.

Aggression I agree, but tripping the ref was plain.................the thing with barnes is you take away his aggression you take away his game.........they come together.....
Yes, I'm sure his detractors would be GUTTED.
Anyone suggesting we start what is potentially our most important home game of the season so far with Ulloa on the bench and a less than match fit Ashley Barnes as centre forward needs their head examining.
Yeah, it's not like we're desperate for a back-up strikerBy the way if it was most people, we wouldn't be talking about him coming back, he would be out the door already...But that's just "Ash" so it's ok.
To be honest, this time he deserves the stick he's getting. He was a complete idiot and could have cost the team badly. As it is, it looks like we may have got away with it (ie, Ulloa has been able to play every game, and we've just about got enough points over the last 7 games).If Barnes does happen to score on Saturday lets hope all the knockers apolgise for there unrelenting abuse for him.
If Ulloa is knackered and needs a rest, then it might be the right thing to do. If Ulloa is completely fit and ready for the game, he'll start - Gus won't even have a decision to make. I'm not sure what the drama is.Give the man a rest IF we're in a position to do so ( e.g, when the game is, hopefully, won) but madness to start without him.

Agree with this, I'd much rather Ulloa got a whole games rest if possible.I'd give Barnes at least an hour as striker on Saturday and then bring on Ulloa if we need him. If we can take all 3 points without using the Cyclone on Saturday that would be absolutely ideal

Having Barnes back is a MASSIVE boost imo. It gives Gus options that he hasn't had so far at this crucial stage of the season. Bench or on the pitch, I don't mind.
I have been a huge Albion Fan since 1979 and Barnes is the most over-rated Albion player I have ever seen.
Look at the facts, we have moved up to 4th without him.
Singing aye aye Ashley Ashley Barnes...OK Ashley Barnes is a loose cannon shitferbrains. But he's OUR loose cannon shitferbrains.

If he has a "half a second behind the rest of the team, giving the ball away, clumsy challenging type of game" it won't be his "usual" game. Welcome back, AshWhat if he has his usual, half a second behind the rest of the team, giving the ball away, clumsy challenging type of game?
Do us 'knockers' get an apology?
