Ash loooked good when he came on. He was creating chances for us. Him and Ulloa together has to be considered for a starting XI.

We won't play two up front, if anything it'll be Barnes on the right, LuaLua on the left with Ulloa up top... Whatever, I guess Lopez and Buckley's positions must be under threat after more woeful games than good ones this season.

Ulloa on his own is good, but he's such a focal point of our attacking threat he can be man marked to try and nullify him. Adding Barnes who has proved recently he can do a good job will make things tricky for defenders, hopefully meaning on of Ulloa or Barnes will get more space. Worth a try, but we need to play Ince and Bridcutt together too.

I'd be happy for Barnes to start in place of Andrews.

I don't think it will be something we start with regularly, if ever, but I think it is a great option if we are chasing a goal.

We got done by their pitch, ****ing awful !
Charlton are shite, if we could've played our football, we'd have beaten them easy

Barnes came on and we looked so much sharper (take that those that accuse me of being a Barnes hater!). I think Leo and Ash looked a very exciting possibility for the future.

Barnes on his own is not an option, as proved again against Huddersfield.

Oscar seems to like the two wide players to actually play more like inside-right & inside-left. In fact, Orlandi mentioned in pre-season that Oscar wanted him to be closer to the central striker. I would play Barnes and Orlandi in those tucked in attacking roles.

Sadly it doesn't matter how many strikers/forwards/inside rights or lefts you have, if the midfield is completely devoid of ability and can't play a forward pass it's going to get us nowhere.
