I factored that into my judgement! But , yes he needs to get back into the groove.

Barnes was v.good today - possible contender for MOM if Bridcutt had not played so well. He won some great headers , held the ball up well off his chest, and put in a real shift for the team etc. He did tire towards the last 20 mins but an 8/10 from me.
I agree Barnes was playing better but I think Buckley was put up top to try and catch Derby on the counter when they were pressing forward.

Well second half if he had any pace he would have been free for a one on one but he has no pace and lost out. He was also flat footed and did not get close to what should have been a tap in, other than that he did ok-ish

We'll all judge a player over a game and season, however 5 minutes before the start they ALL get a clean sheet in my book.
I want them all to play well each game, those who actually want a player they "dislike" to have a bad game to simply reinforce their own prejudice are, quite simply, morons. Not real fans, that's for sure.

Guy behind me as well slated him when he didn't shoot as he thought the chance was gone. Barnes ended up passing it to Buckley whos shot was blocked and Orlandi should have scored!
thought barnes was very good today - although looked tired at the end hence no outlet for us - would have give Hoskins the last 15 mins... buckley had a poor game today in my opinion.
His brother who equally hates Barnes and was fuming he scored sits in ESU

Top post. The two Plymouth buys both justified the spend many times over.
Barnes set the right tone with the vital goal (how many times in the CMS era, have we not taken early chances and lesser opponents have grown in confidence), and gave decent lone target man presence until he tired.

I thought Buckley looked bloody dangerous up front... Running in behind... Receiving balls over the top and through defenders...

Barnes looked good first half, seemed to to suit the lone striker role better than CMS. Was good to see the ball being held up a bit a swell by him.
Faded a little in the 2nd half once he was shifted back wide whilst Buckley was switched to Centre forward. Baffling.

Calde hasn't played in yonks and slotted straight back into the groove.
Not if he isn't going to shoot, when put through.
Plus him and the ref not seeing eye to eye cost us lots of possession.
I thought he played well and did some great link up play.
But a centre forward that doesn't shoot marks him down a fair few points.

Barnes always looks better in his natural position and put himself about really well today. Made me very excited about the prospect of our new signing playing in that system
Barnes started the move for the second goal. It was no great moment of skill, just solid graft in that he managed to nick a loose ball of their two centre halves, which really he had no right to. Nice when we are able to catch the opposition on the break.

Can't believe how anyone can be annoyed that a Brighton player has scored??
I get frustrated with Barnes sometimes but his attitude was spot on today and he put in a great shift. Shows how much it means to him when he was punching the floor after hanging on to the ball a little to long when he could have put Buckley through.

Joke, dreadful 2nd half performance, scored so NSC apologists say he's great! So mediocre.

Its All Too Beautiful
How it is
Other than the goal, thought he was pretty poor, mised two good opportunities in the second half, not quick enough to get away from anyone and does not stay on his feet enough, not strong enough to be a centre forward. Sorry, take the goal away (which is great, make no error) and he was not very impressive. Sorry we need to say it as he is.

That's what I meant, only beter phrased.
