Has Barnes actually touched the ball in our last 4 games?

[Withdean Wanderer]

There's certainly one player who seems to be getting a good deal - people are so busy getting frustrated by Poyet's crap tactics and signings that they're not noticing My Anonymous himself.

And you wonder why we don't look like scoring...

The guy who had our only two efforts on target, you mean?

Ah yes, I forgot about his weak free header from the penalty spot - apologies

Ah yes, I forgot about his weak free header from the penalty spot - apologies

At least he headed it down, unlike Hammond and Crofts, who headed equally good chances over the bar.

You've also 'forgotten' the 25 yarder that the keeper spilled.

And the powerful shot the keeper couldn't hold, but Dobbie failed to follow up with? And a couple of crosses, including one that led to another shot on? And some decent defensive work and a fair few brilliant take downs of the ball? As well as being one of the players who could have won a penalty when he was pushed in the back, and won a couple of free kicks? Were you even watching the game?

and the shot that the opposing goalkeeper had a job to hold onto

not much to do tonight then?

ah yes, you're right. a long range hit and hope.

2 touches in 4 games then, is that right?

 

[Bevendean Hillbilly]

He took a throw in from right in front of me.

I was admiring his pert buttocks for a good 30 seconds as he pivoted before throwing it straight to Emnes.

With form like that I'm surprised Arsenal haven't chucked in an 8 million pound bid.

Bet having Dobbie around must make him feel popular!

Sometimes I feel a little bit like a hamster in a wheel. Going round and round, occasionally getting to the top to see a different view but then getting dragged back over to see the same old thing again.

Funny you should post that as all the negative bullshit on here I thought I'd watch the highlights to see if I am missing something. I can confirm Barnes did touch the ball and probably mustered our best two chances. Have a watch and see what you think.

There was also a counter run that was cut short resulting in a booking for a or player.

So, you've been proven wrong, and shown barnes actually contributed to the game and now are using sarcastic comments to distract from your own embarrassment. Well, I say your own embarrassment, with all the patently wrong comments you make on here I doubt you feel embarrassment over getting it wrong time and time again any more.

How about some honesty? Those two efforts in this game are more than anyone else managed. Why target Barnes?

What if Gus went with a 5-4-1 ?

The Charlton game is coming up soon. I wonder if Withdean Wanderer will comment on that?

Have I been proved wrong? Well, yes, I suppose, if you took the thread title to mean that I genuinely don't think Barnes has kicked a football in 360 minutes.

What have we established he's contributed over 4 games then? 1 long range shot? A missed free header?
Blimey, perhaps we don't need to sign a striker after all.

The only thing that's embarrassing is leaving our promotion bid hinging on a League 1 strikeforce.

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

Because he's a striker who is underperforming. We're all pointing the finger at the reasons why we're not scoring, but nobody seems to be pointing the finger at our ineffective number 9.

Ok then. Thank you.

Ah, I see. Has Barnes played up front in those 4 games then?

Dunno, frankly it's hard to remember him playing at all...
