There we go that's better
Wonder how long that'll last?
Oh, wait
Tell me why you rate Barnes so much and I will tell you why I don't. You can big him up all you like, he hasn't scored enough goals for us this season and cant run and I reiterate has been very lucky to get the minutes this season

I will put something pointless on the thread as a Barnes doubter. The guy puts in a hell of a shift, cut him and he bleeds blue and white stripes, but he simply does not score enough. End of.
I've always been 'on the fence' when it comes to our Ashley, but the Wigan commentary team were quite complimentary about his performance today.
I just feel that he always seems to want a free kick rather than trying to get on with playing football. He deserves recognition for his endeavor to play the lone striker at the moment.
Will he keep his place when others are fit to return? I'm not sure but he isn't PLR should we get there imo.

He's part of a team who are doing well despite missing lots of players.
One could argue that he is in the side because of injuries, but one could also argue that he had carried us along.
He was excellent today. Plodding his lonely path.

Was he lucky to get minutes last season, how about the season before?
You cant knock him for his endeavour and his loyalty to the club. I just feel Lita has to be playing over him again this is just my opinion

Rookie your flogging a dead horse ... when eventually he goes they will pick on some-one else

He's got a similar goal ratio to someone like Defoe.
He's not a Grant Holt, but he didn't score today. Holt peaked late on and Barnes is still young (in terms of strikers). Holt matured late by the way.

Yeah I know, just annoys me that he is the chosen player to take stick no matter how well he does

He has to be doing something right to keep Lita out of the starting line up.
Lita will be nearly fully fit now this was holding him back getting starts. Barnes scored twice last week which is great as he helped us get the 3pts that's the main reason he kept his place. If OG insists on playing him and he's not scoring why not drop him back and put Lita up there

Lita was fit or not. I don't see how you can suggest that was the reason Barnes was starting.
From a personal point of view, I reckon OG likes his attitude and endeavour on the field. Today, he was the lonely sniper, but carried out his job well and we won.
