Ashley "Marmite" Barnes - In or Out ??

[El Presidente]

Assuming that Hammond is fit following his injury today, and can take over the Bridcutt role, I would bring in Vicente on Saturday to replace Bridcutt, so it's a NO from me.

Funny how everyone here knows so much more about Barnes, than Gus does ! All put your cv's in for the next managerial position . Sure you will all be considered .

Vicente and Hammond playing the bridcutt role?

EDIT: Never mind, I read it again.

Huh? I'm saying if, in the circumstances listed above (i.e. if cms was out, hammond was out, bridcutt was out and hoskins out), barnes wasn't to start, perhaps there could be something more to read into it (for example - extra punishment for getting sent off). A quite reasonable thing to suggest, I think.

Not at all.......it hasnt happened, so why are you pre supposing . Not reasonable at all. Your glass is half empty for sure !

What's just as interesting is that our record signing did not get on the pitch today, so shirley we should be debating that issue instead?

Shut up, that's a tired old fallback for you Barnes devotees..... Let's have some real world reasons for your love of him, not that tripe every time.

Presumably not fit, as Barker was named on the bench ?.

Oatway said he had a niggly injury and the medical staff didn't want to risk the travel.

Was carrying a knock, medical staff advised that it would be best if he didnt travel.

It's a thread about whether or not Barnes should/will start on saturday. This whole thread is about pre-supposing.

Im not in love with him...far from it. He has his faults.....but Gus seems to like him as the link man . Anyway, go back to the post i replied to and its nothing to do with what your saying . And i wont shut up...this is a forum for debate.

No its not.....your saying there might be something in it, if he doesnt play. Lets wait until Saturday 3pm and then we can make a judgement

I'm shocked how fickle we really are.
Instead of asking about Barnes we should be asking about how the club captain Gordon Greer gets back in the team.

I think you're reading far too much into what I said.

Good

I understand why you question him, but his goal and assist against Arsenal shows he has talent. Yes he can also be a disappointment, no question, but the bile he receives in my opinion is not justified

I thought it was a reasonable thing to suggest myself. Don't know why poster chose to have a pop at you.

Last season people were suggesting Gus needed a new keeper long before Gus seemed to notice himself. They were correct but got shot down for daring to say Gus was wrong.

If Hammond joins Bridcutt and is out, we will need Barnes out there.
Tenacity and bite in the tackle to supplement the skilled Orlandi & co.
Burnley will come with the Blackburn rough house approach.
