I completely agree. The thing is, he is being played out of position yet is still getting into good goal scoring positions, so I don't think you can judge him purely on his goals, although it would be nice to see him get off the mark.

It was on that site which nobody is allowed to read that Barnes is on Peterborough and Sheff Utd radar for January.

Interesting, I wonder how much he'd go for being young but also only having 6 months left on his contract. I doubt they'd be willing to pay more than 500k, and I doubt Gus or Ashley would want to leave for that amount either.

On Saturday he was excellent (particularly in the first half) in everything except finishing. I particularly enjoyed his linkup with Bridge that involved a backheeled one-two to nutmeg the defender.
He faded in the second half but he probably isn't fully match fit yet.
If he had taken one or more of those chances he'd have been MotM by a country mile

How about Barnes and £500k for George Boyd to bring out The best in CMS.

IMHO he was very good for the first half and faded badly n the 2nd half and based on his performance when he came on I wouldn't even consider Lua Lua for the bench but having said that I do know he can do better so would perhaps consider him on the bench.

But Boyd isn't very good anymore. Barnes will get a new contract and Hoskins will go in my opinion.

Barnes has proved over more than two years he is not good enough. I can not believe how people have slagged Hoskins off after two games. Give him half a season at least before casting judgement.

Completely agree. Hoskins has had 2 good games although yes he should havee scored a couple Saturday. Shocking team selection

Does seem a bit strange seeing as he got into goal scoring positions and was always going to be a bit rusty with his first touch after a long time out

With the team selection it appears Gus is like a fighter on the ropes,just hanging in there..................waiting for second wind to floor the opponents, which is the big money striker in Jan.
Let's just hope he gets two.
