Or, just as likely, we would have won if Barnes played today because he would've blocked their goal and put one in at the other end. He can do other things.
Why would him playing even preclude Lua Lua doing what he did? Barnes could've done more than Lopez did. Or Barker. Or Ulloa towards the end.
Had you not noticed that we only have three other strikers, and two of them ARE out injured for the season? What actually would you class as 'huge'?

On the opposition or ref?
I didn't realise we'd gone to a two up front formation, must have missed that!
Not there today then, when we brought a second striker on?

But Barnes misses them most of the time. Ulloa statistics show Barnes shouldn't even be allowed to clean Ulloa boots.

This.
Ulloa is a great player but does not have the ability to put himself about as Barnes does. Ulloa needs to use his body strength a little bit more to become the finished article. I am not saying that Barnes is but i think that an Ulloa and Barnes pairing could work, at the expense of (i am running through treacle) Hammond.
Nope, Barker spent his time on the right wing, kept one up top, Barker has done nothing wrong on the bench/pitch, no reason why Barnes should waltz straight back in ahead of him after the way he's let the club badly down twice in recent memory, just my opinion but he needs to show he's a grown up before he has the right to wear the shirt again.

Did you say the same about Greer after all his red cards? Barnes was our top scorer last season and we need all the players we can use, especially if Buckley has hamstring problems again.

Never hopefully.

Blackpool game.
There's every chance his childish antics could blow our chances, won't get far playing yet another game with 10 men.
Greer is a prime example of how to react after a couple of reds, with maturity and solid performances, my opinion is that's something Barnes is not capable of.

Exaggeration for effect.

Maybe he would have been within 20 yards of Ulloa every time the ball was smashed at him, unlike our midfield today
Really, I didn't think it was possible for him to be so thick after Sheff Wed but roll on Bolton, it's no exaggeration in my opinion to say he's a liability.

Very selective with the results there.
Failure to mention:
Little old Charlton at home
Out of sorts Leicester at home
Low spending Barnsley away
Relegation candidates Bristol City away
Bolton away
All in the same period.
Firstly Barnes was sent off against Bolton away (For tripping the ref! I'm suprised you Barnes supporters don't remember that one!) that was the reason I didn't include that.
Very Selective with the results yourself.
Faliure to mention:
The Hull and Huddesfield Victories which Barnes didn't start.
When Barnes was in the team week in week out we were 8th, we are now 6th. We have not missed him.
