Don't Mention The War
I seriously hope after last night, we'll stop making him a scapegoat. It was fantastic touch for his goal.
Hands behind his ears? Is he fed up with the moaners
It's a "Charlotte Church, Anthony Hopkins, Max Boyce, Noodle mines can you hear me? Your boys took one hell of a beating" gesture.
I had two people moan and moan and moan about him all game sitting next to me, got to the point where I nearly snapped. As soon as he scored I went f***ing mad, was so nice to chuck that back in their faces.
We need to get a banner to show Barnes that he is appreciated and we do love him
a big WE LOVE YOU ASHLEY BARNES
If i were Barnes i would be right pissed off with the moaners and people giving him shit week in week out. He is still a young striker, and has great skill (ok, not messi) but a talent.
Gus obviously see's something in him, and therefore we should get behind the boy.
If i were getting this crap from the fans, i would have my transfer request at the ready come the summer. I hope Ash doesn't do this.
I can't believe some of the fans that get on Barnes and CMS shit, two players that thrive on confidence (as all strikers do), how difficult must it be with all the moaners and boo boys.
get over it and support your team!!!

Take your point but thought it was thoroughly justified & frankly made us all laugh - made the moaners look silly & showed us, as if we needed it, that the boy's got something about him. Why shouldn't he have a little pop back at them - shows he's got some prideI didn't enjoy the celebration. I find it cringeworthy when an opposition player does it to us, a player doing it to their own fans is worse.
I think he should be above the moaners rather than come down to their level, he is getting paid enough to ignore the moaners. Next time he has a crap game the doubters will now have extra incentive to give him abuse.
Gus never seems to sub Barnes, that just seems to show how much Gus rates him and yet again Gus calls it right as Ash gets the equaliser and then sets up the second goal.
Last season up top we had Barnes and Murray, lets compare the two. Murray got 25 goals last season, Ash 20 goals. Murray leaves for a serious pay rise at Palace and look what return Crapstal get back for him, 6 goals and a serious attitude problem. Barnes stays and he has to adapt to a new role, he becomes virtually an ever present in that postion and is leading scorer, with double Murray's tally (pens still have to be scored and after last season, thank goodness Ash seems to be good at them) also outscoring a (record) £3.5M signing. Another £1M striker can't get in ahead of him and has to go on loan.
He also now has a different role with more defensive requirements than last season but at present still seems higher in the pecking order than more regular midfielders Vincelot, Sparrow, Vicente to name but three.
Ashley Barnes has had a superb season, not necessarily the best player on our books, but if there was an award for most improved player I can't think of too many other challenging him this season. Keep up the good work, son.

Hes out of contract in the summer
thisFor me it's simple.....
If you are a true supporter, you support the whole team even when a player has an off day. If you feel the need to boo or barrack our players don't bother coming. Love Ashley Barnes, always have done, his first touch isn't the best but his positional sense is superb, both offensively and also when he defends.
