Barnes or Vicente as penalty taker

[Mellotron]

Would we have noticed because that seems to happen every minute of every game anyway?

True. I've never known someone who incites such HATRED simply for EXISTING on a football pitch.

.... looking at last season, Barne's finishing was as good as Vicente's.

I think it may have been better?

Ashley Barnes Bio, Stats, News - Football / Soccer - - ESPN Soccernet vs Vicente Bio, Stats, News - Football / Soccer - - ESPN Soccernet

Barnes scores with 21% of his shots, Vicente scores with 9%

Although the same stats suggest that Barnes hits the target with 40% of his shots while Vicente does with 47%

 

[Diego Napier]

I gather Vicente was champing at the bit to take the penalty against Reading. Pressure seemed to get to Barnes, and he missed.

So if Vicente takes penalties, do we need Barnes in the team?

Inane question

 

[Daffy Duck]

We could always get Murray back here and see how many he can score from the spot.

 

[Icy Gull]

Is there any part of Barnes' game that someone is not willing to take a pop at?

He missed one penalty ( I think all season), let's crucify him

 

[Silent Bob]

Vicente had a 100% penalty conversion rate last season.

 

[JBizzleBeard]

I want Ryan Harley to take them all.

 

[Icy Gull]

Vicente had a 100% penalty conversion rate last season.

Let's kill Barnes then

At least your signatures correct ...

That's the funny thing isn't it, in reaction to the baseless and idiotic slagging off of Barnes on here, you now get baseless and idiotic praise of Barnes on here.

If suggesting Vicente is better is having a pop, I hate every player that's ever played for Brighton.

This is one of those occasions where it would probably have been advantageous to stop, take a moment, and re-read what you've written, before consigning it to NSC history, and yourself to endless ridicule. Not because of grammar, spelling, or anything like that. Just the fact that it is just a pretty stupid question to ask.




The answer to you inane question, by the way, is yes.

 

[Acker79]

Vicente had a 100% penalty conversion rate last season.

Did he? Who did he take a penalty against?

According to my records our penalty takers and their records:

Barnes 6/7
Harley 0/1
Sparrow 1/1
Bridcutt 1/1
Calderon 1/1
CMS 1/1

It was a joke, I left off the smiley

Eh? I can't for the life of me work out what bit of this thread you're referring to. Nowhere has anyone said Barnes is better than Vicente, nor that Vicente being a better player is "having a pop".

None of them as funny as Cristian Baz's the season before...

Why don't we have a poll, send the results to Gus, and....................sorted!

Who is our chief diver going to be this year though ?
Lua Lua, El Abd or maybe Buckley will carry on improving in that area.

Well actually Barnes is rather good at this too!

May be I was too hasty...

I think el abd is more of an antagoniser and exaggerator than a diver, per se.

Oh I don't know, he becomes incredibly lightweight when we get a corner. I appreciate refs very rarely give us one from his antics but it's not for want of him trying. Let's just hope Kitson signs for a championship team this season. That,ll be fun at The Amex.
