[Faldo]

Not often I beat someone to something these days.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

You got it as well have you?

I don't need to be there to comment on a player not taking every chance to come his way.

A player that did that certainly wouldn't be playing for us and Madrid might not be concentrating all their efforts on Bale, if there was such a player.

 

[RyFish]

Has he not missed two good chances then...If people seriously think Barnes is a good enough option as the main second striker, then god help us. He is an average championship striker but that's all, nothing more.

So he's scored from 1 in 3 chances? Even Messi would kill for that kind of conversion rate.

I looked over on Twitter and the tweets suggest half time happened about the same time , game might have kicked off a few minutes late with the poetic tribute to Roy Chuter from Attilla and the minute applause.

Maybe we didn't miss as much of the game as I thought we did during the Crawley fiasco

He's 23 and improving every year. I can see him getting 20 goals this season. Quality player - Might even make Premier League one day.

You should go to spec savers. He won't start 20 games, let alone score 20 goals.

Just checking - who scored?

Corrected for the optimistic NSCers reading tonight

Do you genuinely believe that? He's a key player, and currently 2nd only to Ulloa for central striker and probably ahead of LuaLua on the left. He will start 30+, injury/suspension dependent.

Yep I do believe that, but I stand to be corrected. I predict that come the end of this month, then moving into October he will be a regular on the bench. He might get on the pitch 20 times but I predict he won't start 20 league games...We will see.

Lets sit back and wait for Buckley to get grief now then ....

This. Very useful utility player and a very good Championship striker. Invaluable to the squad.

Yep, loads of them.

 

[Dick Head]

You beat me to it!

Looks to me as if we are just not taking it seriously - 10 man staring line up according to bbc.

Have we really only got ten players on the pitch?

I beat you both to it.

Good effort but not as good as TCB or WW.

course he does ..we just havent signed them yet

 

[KZNSeagull]

Bit under pressure, then quick break - Barnes just wide.

 

[GT49er]

I beat you both to it.

I wonder if there's someone running the BBC site scratching his head and wondering where to put the yellow card sign.............................
