Seems to get better with every game. Think he enjoys playing for Oscar.
I would be gutted if we lost him

His work rate and attitude are 100% and he always warrants his place in the team IMO and is often MOM or close to whenever I watch Brighton play.
However he should have scored the header today, basically he isn't a striker IMO. I'm not sure what position I would play him, AM I guess, but there needs to be someone more 'clinical' in front of goal.

Couldn't agree more. Today he held the ball up really well, laid it on to others countless times. Won several free kicks to relieve pressure on the defence and took a battering from the centre halves.
Is he finally winning the fans over?

Worked he's socks off and looked like he was going to cry with frustration when he hit the woodwork.

You were listening on commentary, weren't you?
It sounded like one though....

I agree he should be expected to take that chance but it wasn't necessarily the 'sitter' that is being claimed. Firstly it came to him unexpectedly and at pace from the bar and also the reading defender did well to get across him.

Presumably you also took the time to post when Ulloa missed a sitter against Bournemouth.

I wish! I have 3 Barnes Boo Boys sitting behind me, never a mention of anything good he does but carp on without fail about any mistake.
Brainless bigotry.

I get lots of this too!
There's a guy behind me the crucifies Barnes, constantly shouts 'move the ball' for no apparent reason and tactically never left the mid seventies.
It'll always be the way though, no matter what the club.
He wouldn't be alone. It's not unusual to have:
Radio: Barnes plays ulloa in... Ulloa just wide. The argentinian will feel he should have done better there.
Match thread: ...
Radio: Barnes on the ball again, holds off the defender, pokes it through for Buckley on the overlap, buckley well wide with the shot. Buckley under pressure there.
Match thread: ...
Radio: Lopez with the cross field pass, Barnes heads it down, Lualua skies his shot. The ball seemed to bounce up awkwardly just as he hit it
Match thread: ...
Radio: Ulloa shoots! straight at the keeper who parries it out, Barnes... wide! Great chance missed there by Barnes.
Match thread: FFS, barnes. Always misses. Why does he keep playing.
Other poster (often me): What about all those other misses from other players?
Match thread: You're such a Barnes lover, aren't you.

Yes I was and to be fair the commentators do have a better view than most people.
