Who will replace Ashley Barnes as target for the moaners?

[Seagull over Canaryland]

Agree, Spanish Dave is in the frame.

Spanish Dave is becoming an easy target for the boo boys. He probably has more talent in his big toe than Barnes but on recent form he has been a passenger and gives only fraction of Ashley's commitment.

If only SD could produce the match winning passes like against Leicester or that free kick against Donny a bit more often.

 

[OzMike]

Someone who doesn't miss sitters with a bit of luck.

 

[Marshy]

It will be Andrews

When after a couple of weeks everyone realises that Bridcutt is way more immense than everyone realised.

 

[Moshe Gariani]

Why does someone have to replace him (in your terms)?

Because people who habitually moan at football matches always need a ready target. Having spent the last couple of years moaning about Ashley Barnes they will now move on to someone else.

 

[Mellotron]

This.. when he is fit

Doesn't always help himself...slow down a bit Craig!

Except Bridcutt's been out pretty much all season and we've done very well without him?

 

[brightonmark1234]

Joe Mason might fit the bill

i dont think he will

Spanish Dave is your classic "boo boy" fodder. Key traits include:

1. Frustrating. Has previously scored wonder goal against arch rivals - thus proving he has the class - but has rarely showed it thereafter.
2. Shys out of 50/50 challenges.
3. Keeps more popular players out of the team (Buckley, Orlandi, Kaz etc).

Liz Costa.

This is fully understandable anyway. I sit near her in WSL and her comments annoy me all the time. She has to understand it's a contact sport, some of our players dive and WHO CARES if an opposition player doesn't come off the pitch after being treated?

Evokes "Wendy" Wilkins...

Too be honest, the baton has already been passed to Dave for the area in which I sit. They hate CMS too though (they call him "road runner" or "headless chicken"). Oh, and (sideways & backwards) Greer. And (weak, broken & over-rated) Buckley.

They'll miss having Barnes to abuse though. It seems to be all that gets them through most matches.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Hopefully no-one. Then we will have the double-benefit of hearing less from the moaners about the moaners.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Said on another thread, but Kemy.

Lopez is short term and surely will not have his contract renewed.

 

[somerset]

I am looking forward to hearing the hypocritical anti-CMS brigade....those posters on here who happily gave CMS a bad press, calling Barnes a far better player, but then jumped up and down with indignation when AB was even remotely criticised.......I won't have any other players in the squad who I feel should not be there......match days are going to be far less stressful.

 

[Marshy]

That will not stop people moaning at him though

 

[Badger]

The woman next to me has already moved on to moaning about David Lopez, EVERY time he touches the ball, EVERY time

In a whining or orgasmic sort of way ?

 

[severnside gull]

I reckon the bloke who sits next to me will switch his attention to either Kaz or Spanish Dave...

Way too logical.... Given no-one has seen him play it is obvious that Obika will be complete dross

CMS can't return from injury soon enough.
