His departure left a void in me like a dental cavity.

The reason Barnes was taking stick, was because a lot on here no ethel about football and even less about the worth of individual players. They'll be a bloody nightmare when they reach pubity
NAME DROP
I spoke to Sean Dyche recently, and he couldn't believe it when I told him some of our fans BOOED our own player walking up to take a penalty (which he then converted). Only had the highest praise for Ash's work ethic and willingness to learn and improve.

I remember Oscar being disappointed after that January transfer window and saying that clubs normally get stronger during the window and that we got weaker. He looked like a man who lost faith with the club so I am sure Barnes leaving was one of a good few reasons to why he was set on resigning.

Doesn't make him prem quality....Pretty useless most of the time.
I find it laughable that he says some nice things about us and most cream themselves about how amazing he was lol...How many great games can you remember from him apart from missing sitters or popping in a penalty.

Fishing?
It's called an opinion of a player who was shite and that includes caskey

Too mean to give him a decent contract. I shudder to think what we've paid in fees & wages to (unsuccessfully) replace him

Yep, I did, anyway.
Same planet as Danny Murphy, I guess, who took time to cream himself on MotD, describing Barnes absolutely owning Citeh's multi-squillion pound centre backs
Agree totally. Twenty goals in his first full season were all tap ins.
Leading scorer in our first Championship season was due to flukes.
Scoring against Manchester City, Chelsea, Spurs, Arsenal? Anyone can do it, all the hard work was done by other players, he just had to do the easy bit.

How any booed do you think ? Three ? I never heard it.
I was in WSU Block H where there were plenty of Barnes detractors, and it was at least 30-40, as a very conservative estimate. Remember he cupped his ears after scoring? So he could clearly hear it all the way down on the pitch. So no chance of it being 3/4 out of 28,000 if he can hear it.

I was in WSL and I heard plenty of loud groans if not boos. Disgusting behaviour from so called Albion fans

Just tap ins?, if only it was that easy!
A goal is a goal however the ball crosses the line. I would do anything to have a player who would score enough goals from tap ins if it would get us promoted.
