Let's Big Up Barnes

[Brighton Mod]

With six games to go, we were 10 points off automatic promotion, and finished it four points off.

We won four, drew two, scoring 13 goals and conceding three (and one of those three was Hammond).

If you don't mind me saying, your memory is shocking.

And your maths even worse

For someone who doesn't have a problem with him, you are on his case. It's not a case of thinking he's that great - it's a case of not feeling you need to justify his perceived shortcomings. In comparison to those you list, he is in touch with most of them.

Malcolm Poskett - 10 goals in 29 apps (0.35 goals per game)
Lammie Robertson - 4 goals in 15 apps (0.26 goals per game)
Nelson - 25 goals in 103 apps (0.24 goals per game)
Ken Beamish - 9 goals in 38 apps. (0.23 goals per game)
Ashley Barnes 21 goals in 90 apps (0.23 goals per game)

Only Michael Robinson fares better in your list - 37 goals in 113 apps - all in the top division.

Fred Binney didn't play in Div 2.

Ok, thanks for doing the maths, but on your figures, he comes bottom and three of them only played a seasons worth of games? the reason I highlighted them were because by and large they were journeymen, nothing special. What are you trying to say?

The end of last season was some of the best football Brighton have EVER played. Can't believe some of the comments on here.

Ash is totally different to CMS as he is to Leo. He is never going to be world class, but he gives 100% and his petulance sometimes works in our favour. Has done a job in times of need, I'd love him to score more but at the same time appreciate what he as done in recent times.
