So we've got a player who creates lots of chances and has scored 7 in 11.
That's good isn't it?

Worked his socks off today. Made the space and teamed up again with Murray. Both unselfish for each other. On another given day, Ash would have had 2 or 3. Scored the hardest of his chances today.

Sounds exceptional to me. Craig Davies got in scoring positions and put most of them outside the stadium.

Ash was superb today, the lad is our best striker and is only 20

Think he was their best player, a different keeper and we would have been 4 up by half time

CB come on 'fess up you feel like an absolute clueless wanker for starting this thread don't you?
Or maybe I'm the clueless one, Barnes was my MOM
He who has not posted some drivel on NSC cast the first stone and for that reason I am OUT. The guy has his opinion and should not be subjected to an NSC lynching mob imo.

Hit the post, and forced their keeper to make two great saves.

In this case his opinion deserves ridicule, imo anyway. CB is much too quick to slag our players off and very slow to admit he got it wrong.

Some arse'ole in The Family Stand actually shouted 'Oh - what's he doing?' when he hit the post in the first half!

That was a f***ing excellent strike too.

Of course. I wasn't slating him. He played really well and seemed to be in the right place all the time. 20 goals for him this season.

It was a funny old game for him today,missed a few good chances ,scored a gem, hit the post and bar.You could say he should have done better and gone home with the match ball but he was SO involved.He dosn't seem to let a miss or 2 effect him.I think he is doing well.

I know - he is a brilliant player in my humble opinion - yes, he's missed a couple of apparently easy chances but this chap behind me missed the point that the goalkeeper made a couple of decent saves rather than Ashley missed two sitters

Luckily US, you have chosen the right city in which to come out
Not likely. The desire for Women is as strong as ever its just the supply of said goods is slow to say the least. I doubt at 48 I am likely to turn no matter how desperate I get and hey, there's always loads of porn on the internet
Thats exactly the difference for me today. Ive been fairly dubious, bordering on critical, of him in the past not because I think hes a bad player but because hes never in good positions or contributing to moves etc. However today completely proved me wrong, and I hope there are more performances like today to come. The fact his shot to goal ratio wasnt brilliant today shouldnt be a basis for criticism at all.

Think you're doing Bennett, LuaLua, and Dicker a bit of a disservice saying Barnes creates the chances.
His movement is decent though, I've always said that, and in terms of finishing he's usually been clinical, it's other parts of his game that have been open to question. Still if he hadn't missed the first chance the two after would not have seemed bad misses. The third was difficult and the second was a good save.
