[Albion] If Ashley Barnes...

[symyjym]

How hard will Barnes try tomorrow? It's the biggest issue of the weekend because i can't imagine any of his teammates will be giving 110%. Barnes is the key and my instincts tell me he couldn't care less.

Give him some credit he will want his old Brighton team mates to get to the play offs. And Burnley will want to give the Championship a leaving present by pummeling Reading tomorrow, I have no doubt about that.

 

[Brixtaan]

So the game is live on sky in front of potentially a huge audience and the Burnley squad are all wondering if they'll get discarded as the club prepare for the Premiership and you don't think Barnes or his team mates will be bothered?

Really?

THIS is a very good point. I'll slink off back into the shadows. Tbh there's no point watching Forest v Albion, the important , and most interesting action will be at Reading.

 

[Husty]

And my instinct tells me he'll care a whole lot more than many of our players will.

And that will be despite not actually giving a shit

 

[London Irish]

Yes, well done. Afterall, who cares about Ashley Barnes' state of mind and form. He's only playing against our only rival for the final play-off spot.

Muppet.

You are a touchy clown aren't you?

 

[London Irish]

Have you not seen us play recently?

Ha, fair point

You are a touchy clown aren't you?

Why don't you toddle off into self imposed exile again you pompous boring gimp? You really weren't missed.

Or are you bored of those lickers on that board with 6 people licking your backside?

 

[JBizzle]

Ummmmmm...you all seem to ignore something called Forest?

Not ignoring but our game with Forest is an irrelevance unless Burnley do us a favour.

What is wrong with you?

 

[Wrong-Direction]

I can see him missing a penalty on purpose just to stick two fingers up to all the Barnes haters!

He'll miss a pen and score an own goal

 

[TheJasperCo]

This. We've never had another player come close to that little act of petulance!

...and then along came Leon...

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

...and then along came Leon...

I don't recall Leon doing anything of the sort though. But yes, you're right, he had a master's in petulance.

 

[Worried Man Blues]

Very good post, he was great at some things awful at others but above all he always tried and that is like gold dust. Not a legend but someone you would want in your team.

Fear not, here is a post from someone in the know on the Burnley Forum. Can't guarantee we'll beat them for you but I'm sure Asley and the boys will be giving 110%.

"re: is this team turning up tomorrow?
It's not just the manager who wants to be relentless. I spoke to some of the players on Tuesday at the player of the year awards night and each and everyone of them was exactly the same. They will give us a performance tomorrow. "

Oscar said on BBC South East News that the pressure is on Reading as a play off place is theirs to lose and we have no pressure at all because we can only win and hope.

 

[Seagull97]

Barnes was never the most technical player but he bloody well knew where the goal was!

Striker Sam Vokes and defender Luke O'Neill will be unavailable for newly promoted Burnley due to knee and thigh problems respectively. So if he doesn't play .... ?

 

[Burnleylad]

Congratulations, told you Ashley and the lads wouldn't let you down.

All you have to do is win the play offs now, good luck to you. I'm sure Ashley will be cheering you on

Burnley - my new second favourite team
