It was always just a noisy but small minority (empty vessels), but far more fans got fed up with him after his 2 indiscretions.

Aggression I agree, but tripping the ref was plain.................
Yes, I'm sure his detractors would be GUTTED.
Some people in WSU near me GENUINELY get annoyed when he scores.

The only reason I would consider Barnes is that we have nobody to play up front on their own to give Ulloa a break

Stupid IDIOT
Just imagine if Barnes plays at some stage on Saturday and GETS sent off. I would DIE laughing

It's an interesting point. If someone has five chances and scores one, has he had a good game
...If we win 1-0 im sure the majority will say yes. If we lose 2-1 the majority would say it was his fault...Casper was faultless at Forest until he threw one in, as it were(between legs to be exact), did he gain us a point or did he cost us two He does get paid to stop the ball going in the net after all, that is his job, goalkeeper. As Barnes is a striker, scoring a goal does not mean that everyone that has slagged him off is wrong....I say the bloke is a liability, sure he has some good games but not often enough for me. Let's hope he comes back all guns blazing and with a point to prove.

Spot on. Give the man a rest IF we're in a position to do so ( e.g, when the game is, hopefully, won) but madness to start without him.
Yeah, it's not like we're desperate for a back-up striker
To be honest, this time he deserves the stick he's getting. He was a complete idiot and could have cost the team badly. As it is, it looks like we may have got away with it (ie, Ulloa has been able to play every game, and we've just about got enough points over the last 7 games).
If Ulloa is knackered and needs a rest, then it might be the right thing to do. If Ulloa is completely fit and ready for the game, he'll start - Gus won't even have a decision to make. I'm not sure what the drama is.

We have been desperate in different positions before. Ok not for 7 games granted, but that hasn't stopped people being given the cold shoulder, once they have bitten the hand that feeds them.

Agree with this, I'd much rather Ulloa got a whole games rest if possible.

What if he has his usual, half a second behind the rest of the team, giving the ball away, clumsy challenging type of game?
Do us 'knockers' get an apology?

I have been a huge Albion Fan since 1979 and Barnes is the most over-rated Albion player I have ever seen.
Look at the facts, we have moved up to 4th without him.

We need the backup badly and he has a point to prove to the fans and his teammates after letting them down with a moment of sheer stupidity
Always seems to play better when back from a spell on the sidelines so let's hope he comes back and helps us push on

Look at the goal scoring record v. cost of signing him. Compare it with comparable figures for CMS.
Then go and sit in the corner and think about what you posted
OK Ashley Barnes is a loose cannon shitferbrains. But he's OUR loose cannon shitferbrains. Hopefully he'll grow up and develop his attitude to match his natural ability as a goal scorer. If not, then fu kc it, we get rid and move on. Ashley's call really
Singing aye aye Ashley Ashley Barnes...

If he has a "half a second behind the rest of the team, giving the ball away, clumsy challenging type of game" it won't be his "usual" game. Welcome back, Ash

Scored 20 goals in his rookie season, top scorer for us last season and scored 1 in 5 this season from a deep lying role. Oh and he's only 23. What are we moaning about?!
