You must have missed this bit:
However, is it a coincidence that we played really well at Bolton but lost with him and played poorly against Bristol City and Barnsley without him? I didn't see any of the matches but hopefully someone who did will answer.
I think Barnes has been really stupid on several occasions to get yellows and (3 times is it?) to get red and doesn't seem to have learned restraint yet.
