Leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeroy, with Barnes on the left. I thought we all agreed this?
Surely not, .. only a few short months ago you guys were saying that Barnes underperforms because he is always played out of position on the wing, or as a floating midfielder,...now you are saying he isn't a striker either,... can anyone enlighten me where he is best suited?,... I think we can rule out keeper.

Lots of people assuming David will start but I'm not so sure it wont be Barnes starting alongside Lita with just Conway as a specialist winger

Andy Naylor has tweeted the Lita will probably start on the bench tomorrow.

Surprises me that, I would have thought that he has had enough weeks to get up to speed.

Er we were saying he was out of position as the 1 up front. As he is STILL the only fully fit striker and game by game he's improving there he's starting, while Lita gets up to speed.

At Donny, within 1:20 seconds of Lita coming on and Barnes going into his preferred role he hit the bar curling from 20 yards, and then helped set up Lita for the goal.

Those without blinkers can see this, but you prefer to gnaw the monotonous hay of despair instead of watching the football.

What position were you all saying he was not suited to last season then? .... never mind, I know, it was actually whichever position Gus played him in.

I haven't seen enough of Leroy elsewhere to see whether he can play upfront on his own, so if we're playing only one upfront then it has to be Barnes. He has his faults but his hold up play is improving all the time. But I'd rather they both started.

Well he played the lone striker very well against us in the game where we lost to Sheff Weds earlier this year.
