Ashley Barnes - Goal of The Season ???

[Codner pharmaceuticals]

Do left foot shots count as goals?

 

[Bold Seagull]

He's a classic centre forward Ashley, exciting and frustrating in equal measure. His work rate and finish impeccable, you couldn't ask for more. Some of his link up play and holding up questionable., and at times a little careless.

Overall he worked tirelessly for the team and conjured an equaliser from nothing. He'll always have his detractors most likely, but he delivered today and well done to him.

Young Ash is a definite on every team sheet, whether it be GP or OG. There must be something about him.
Personally, I was an AB fan from his first ever appearance on loan. He ain't perfect, but yo can no leave da man out.

Only on days with a y in them.

 

[Seagull on the wing]

As the commentator said...if Ronaldo had scored that everybody would be waxing lyrical about it...seriously,well done Ash...not just for a great goal but it's nice to see that you have controlled your temper and your diving...nobody works harder....keep it up...

 

[Seagull on the wing]

Also Koosh saves us so many against goals....surely one of the best goalkeepers in the Championship

Natural born finisher.

JFC actually meant his so he gets my vote

We were at the game sitting opposite the away fans directly behind Ashley and watched the flight of the ball in to the top corner from behind. He knew exactly where it was going and what he was doing throughout, so Mr Barnes is #1!

I agree with all that and hope the doubters will shut up now.

Goal of the season so far for me.

I dont think so as I see those shots as hit and hope and can finish up anywhere. Granted when they go in they look good but I prefer to sere a goal scored by a good move

Isn't there hope with every hit? Whether a thirty yard blast ("here's hoping..."), a run of the mill shot ("I hope this is on target and the keeper doesn't stop it!") or a two yard tap in ("I hope I don't end up on one of those Christmas DVDs").

Yes there is but with a well worked goal put in from a few yards out there is also expectation but with a long shot not so much so, so the emphasis is on hope..

And a shot from 12 yards out when you've worked a bit of space, and turn towards the goal and kick the ball toward the unguarded side of a goal is more hope and could finish anywhere?

Totally disagree. I think Mr Barnes deserves the credit. I have never played football to a particularly high level, but even so, whenever one kicked or headed the ball, you knew what you were trying to do with it, even if the idea and the execution were two entirely different things. Just maybe here the idea and the execution came together.
