I think people judge him on different criteria. I'll see him have an awful game, poor final ball time and time again, failing to beat his marker, bad first touch etc, and I'll come on here and see 7s and 8s with the comments "looked busy" "only one who looked like doing anything" "tricky"...
There have been countless games in the Championship that he has started and - up against a quality fullback - been completely impotent. He's very, very variable.
We know how good LuaLua looks against League One sides - he was phenomenal in League One. He is generally nowhere near as effective in the Championship. Really hope for a better season for him this season though.
I think it'll be that but Barnes in for LuaLua. Definitely looks like Orlandi will be given more prominence as the main attacking threat from midfield.
