If you accept it is 5 in 14 starts (which I realise doesn't suit your anti Barnes agenda), it actually is okay at this level. My point, which you ignore, is that you can't just make up stats to suit your (incorrect) points.

A little bit of research (or having watched the team at all this season) would mean you'd know that Barnes was out injured earlier in the season. His record is 5 in 17, including 3 as sub, in the league. Not a bad record really. On your basis, CMS and Hoskins have 0 in 19!

Funny how there's seems to be less interest in this thread from them now. No doubt if he doesn't score against Middlesbrough and Huddersfield, they'll be back on here gloating again.

Yes, the same penalties that we struggled to score for much of last season. Also, in the right place to score from Lopez's cross. It's sad that the anti Barnes crew can't be pleased and have to continue moaning.

Absolutely. Can't be many better value strikers at the £150K (I think) we paid for him. One of Bournemouth's strikers yesterday cost £2.25 million and Barnes looked a lot better than him. I also thought he played better than £8 million Jordan Rhodes when we played Blackburn.

Proof if ever it was needed what the anti Barnes group are like. Sky commentators and a number of football managers rate Barnes, yet we know best. Yes, football is a game of opinions but when you are so biased you lose focus on the actual facts, your opinion becomes pointless.

Which is fine, if everyone is objective. However, the anti Barnes brigade are so anti, that if anyone else suggests he might have done something exactly right, they will jump on it as proof that they were right all along. The sad thing is I genuinely believe some of them would rather we...

Who was great yesterday though? Kuszczak and Ince but nobody else. The fact is Kuszczak's saves and Barnes' goal won us a point yesterday. The irony is that when Barnes plays well and doesn't score, a lot of people (not necessarily you) come on here and slag him off for not scoring. Shouldn't...

It's pretty obvious what I meant but as you have no answer, you thought it would be better to pretend you don't know. My two points were: 1. No other player gets the sustained and harsh abuse that Barnes does (however well he plays). If they did you would get supporters of the club standing up...

As has been said elsewhere, who says you can slag all these other players off. If any of these players got the continual and harsh abuse that Barnes does, you would get the same reaction from a lot of supporters. As for your "end of story" comment, what do you think would have happened if...
