He has my support as with all the players. Doesn't mean he or Barnes are good enough for a Championship side. Hopefully Harley swings in a cross for Barnes to nod in.
Can't see it though.

Give Harley a chance. Hasn't featured much of late so bound to be a bit rusty. I know many on here will not forgive his powderpuff penalty at Millwall but if he scores another free kick like in the Posh game then all will be forgiven and help his confidence too.
I agree he can look like he isn't bothered at times or lets the game pass him by, but on a couple of occasions he has played in a lightweight midfield that has been too easily overrun by the opposition. At least Harley has the vision to play an incisive pass or two, but a bit like Vicente does need a hard hitter or two around him.
I like the competition from JFC and others - hopefully that will motivate Harley to show some better form. If not then Gus will move him on.

Some Brighton fans are simply desperate to have a hate figure. Ryan Harley follows a tradition that includes Craig Davies, Adam ElAbd (pre-Gus), Guy Butters, Craig Maskell, Dan Harding and Johnny Goodchild.

I'm expecting to see Gus on the starting lineup now..

As I get older and my eyesights fades I am helpful for any distinguishing features on a player so I can tell them all apart. (and WSU is a fair distance from pitch) Hoskins had yellow and Buckley had orange boots last saturday. It helped. I think different colour socks would help me out...... like the Barbarian rugby boys play in.
I,m good with colours.

There was a survey recently of players getting booked, and red boots came out top. I think it was in Four Four Two. Those who wore black boots were booked least, so it may be that the referee spots red boots more easily so therefore that particular player gets booked in 50/50 challenges?

Seems a bit harsh... scorer of one of the top 10 goals at The Amex and a crowd favourite (for at least some of the crowd) elsewhere...

hmm...thread started about harleys choice of clothing...now it seems to hav spread onto another players ability ...nice leap
Why Barnes?
Gus was never a striker, which Barnes is. Surely if he were to use his own experience to show another player "a thing or two", it would be someone more like Sparrow or, to drag this thread back in the vague direction of where it started, Harley.

After a picture of Gus playing in training was posted. Yeah, huge leap
erm if u take it as i said from harleys clothing to barnes ability...yes is HUGE LEAP......sigh
I don't think anyone is doubting Harley's ability. He just comes across as such a pussy, and regularly bottles out of tackles. There is no urgency about him which makes it look like he isn't interested. If he can get involved a bit more and get up to speed with the Championship then I think he can be a great player for us. I think we'll see the best of him next season.

The frustrating thing about Harley is he obviously has the talent, yet doesn't seem to have the aptitude to do something with it, certainly not at this level anyway (yet).
Fans have more patience with a tryer with little ability than vice versa but I would hope that him seeing a 17 year old selected ahead of him might induce him to 'get up to speed'.

Because some people will turn almost anything into an opportunity to have a dig at him, while completely ignoring the fact that Barnes has accepted a role within the side which clearly doesn't suit him as much as centre forward does, but he's accepted it without toys being thrown out of the pram, complaints to the press or any other such acts of petulance. He's taken the role on for the team, at the expense of his own game to an extent, and certainly at the expense of the opinions of many people on here.
I applaud that sort of attitude myself, whereas others just seem to want to slag him off. I honestly do not understand it at all.
