Ashley Barnes

[Diego Napier]

2 assists?

Yes. Didn't you see? Were you busy moaning to someone about Barnes and missed them?

 

[TottonSeagull]

Excellent today, had a point to prove!

 

[Triggaaar]

Yes. Didn't you see? Were you busy moaning to someone about Barnes and missed them?

It's quite weird seeing so many people criticise someone for not seeing Barnes get 2 assists, when he didn't get 2.

Goal 3: orlandi to lopez to orlandi

Goal 4: barnes to buckley to lopez

Ah, wondered who that was laying it off for Lopez.

If Numpty Barnes starts then we'll not win on Saturday.

Good call. Are you Mystic Meg?

 

[Acker79]

Wasn't it Calderon to Upson?

Nope. Definitely Hammond (though SSN said it was Calderon), but the goals on goals express, which I've enjoyed a couple of times, show it was Hammond. There was a similar Hammond/Calderon onfusion in another game a few weeks back, possibly the Palace one...

 

[Wally Gould]

He obviously tried his heart out today which was expected. I thought the supporters were fantastic to welcome him back without vocal criticism. It shows we need him as much as he needs us.

 

[Triggaaar]

Yep, thanks, SSN have confused me.

Was it the Palace players that got confused?

Has there ever been a player this divisive? There are five Barnes threads on the first page of The Big Board as I speak.

 

[Brighton Mod]

i'm neither for or against Ashley, he s just one of the team. One point I would make is that today he showed discipline, didn't roll around on the floor, didn't complain to and at the referee and look what happened, with discipline comes success. Well done Ashley keep it up and score some more against some stearner opposition.

 

[Silk]

Very pleased to see him back, and he was excellent.

 

[JBizzle]

Barnes has a blinder as usual when played up front. My question is this: if we'd played him there all season until Ulloa arrived, would we have done better than with CMS?

nail on the head,although i did see him go down twice for no reason,if we go up,he wont be with us next year i suspect

 

[lighthouse]

Another nightmare scenario would be he gets a brace and all his doubters are proved wrong.

Although it doesn't feel like a nightmare - quite the opposite.

 

[lighthouse]

But EP, most are proposing he flipping start on Saturday...... off the bench fine because we have no viable alternative, but start?..... do me a favour.

 

[Acker79]

Was it the Palace players that got confused?

I don't think so. I'm still not sure they actually turned up.


EDIT: Just checked, it was the Huddersfield game.

 

[Northstandite]

I rate Barnes. Now he has had the final wake up call regarding his temper, I hope and expect him to 'grow up'.

He's a proven goal scorer, borne out by the goals he's scored under Gus, and it's great to have another striker back to augment Ulloa.

This.

Only one game, but the boy came good.

Scores goals, where Vokes, Sandaza, Paynter, Woods (during his Albion spell), Dobbie & Co, failed to.

Someone else who knows sweet fa about football.

Perhaps you would do better supporting Palace.

As did Bridcutt and a couple of Spaniards. Then each of them realised the referee wasn't fooled, and 'gingerly' were back in the game within seconds.

I suspect he will

Yes. Without a doubt
