Ashley Barnes isn't nearly good enough for us.

oh, thats interesting. Yeah, he didn't score many for them in the champ, its the last couple of years he's really come on. Maybe they played him on the wing too, I dunno?

To be fair to Barnes, anyone who gets a good goal return playing for a team playing the style Burnley does deserves some plaudits. He has matured, similar to Murray, but clearly not as clinical or as natural a goal sniffer as the great man!

Unfortunately I will always remember him as Banjo Barnes (maybe harshly)...

Maybe? ??? :lolol:

Watching Bumley is like going back to Withdean, but with added Dyche :lolol:

Didn’t Barnes play second fiddle to Vokes, Andre Gray and latterly Wood in Burnley’s earlier PL seasons, either often as a sub, or in a deeper role putting in the hard graft for them? He was described as having to play a utility role.

Barnes career average, for all clubs, even those “playing him out of position” (which clearly most of his managers appear to do!!!) is 1 goal every 4 games.

Murray comes in at a goal ever 2.7 games.

Zamora comes in at a goal every 3 games.

I’ve always been a huge fan of Muzza, even when I sat by one or two of his detractors in the Withdean south stand. In the end they came round, agreeing that the player is class. A quality forward, finisher and natural footballer. He propelled two clubs to the PL.

From the same era, I have a soft spot for Barnes, the young striker was quality for us from the moment he played. Pleased that he’s done so well in the game.

Burnley have only had 1 and a half seasons in the Championship with Barnes in the team. In the first half-season, immediately after we signed him, he was mostly sub behind Ings and Vokes. Two years later, he missed the whole season with a knee ligament injury.

Murray has the advantage of regular penalties. He's scored 10, to Zamora's 2 and Barnes' 4 in the Premier League. (In all competitions, Murray 30, Barnes 15, Zamora 6.)

How many penalties missed by each?

'Added Dyche'? You make him sound like a condiment.

I had always thought of Dyche as a verb, similar to mashed, pummeled, pulverised, etc... Example being:

To Dyche a steak, start by wrapping it in plastic wrap so the juices don't spill out as you're Dycheing it.
For best results, pound the surface of the steak using a mallet, a rolling pin, or even a wine bottle.
When you're finished Dycheing the first side of the steak, flip it over and repeat on the other side.

Agreed.

I think of it like when you've got a dodgy stomach, and need to take a dyche.

Mmmm...I think of him more as a loud red-rinded hard cheese.

Murray missed 4 in the Premier League, Barnes and Zamora none. Being Burnley's regular penalty taker isn't a good way of adding to your goal tally - we've only had 2 penalties in the last 2+ seasons.

Running it into the box isn't the Burnley way.

The fact this thread keeps getting bounced just endorses what a complete **** up the club made with Barnes.

Whilst I agree. . . . It's also about playing style, and formation, tic-tacs etc . . Hopefully we get to a point GP gets his own players. PL quality ones too!
