Aiston Posted December 7 Share Posted December 7 Goal and an assist !!!! Should have had an assist for us with that peach of a ball to Murphy really though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Butcher Posted December 7 Share Posted December 7 Blame Schar just as much as Barnes for the 2nd. Schar gave the Brentford striker a free pass to shoot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's weird, both him and Murphy provided end product, but they felt fairly useless the rest of the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We looked far more of a threat with Hall and Barnes linking up. Barnes actually releases it to Hall and would sometimes look to shift the ball quickly. I thought they linked up well. Gordon, for all his pace. Often slows the play down and often ignores Hall’s overlap so that he can cut back into traffic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paully Posted December 13 Share Posted December 13 Apparently having a scan this morning but hopefully it’s just precautionary and he’s fine for tomorrow but they do say it comes in threes and the last two days Pope and Wilson injuries and knowing our luck FFS!

Willock hamstring so there’s your 3! Hasn’t trained yet and making good progress according to Howe! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronson333 Posted December 14 Share Posted December 14 Shouldn’t be on the bench, probably best for him to move on, won’t get a proper run under Howe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc123 Posted December 14 Share Posted December 14 If Howe doesnt trust him at home against Leicester its probably best for him to leave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEToon Posted December 14 Share Posted December 14 He’s averaging about 50 minutes game and it’s been a 16 player sport for a while now. He is part of the squad and used all the time. He will play today Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted December 14 Share Posted December 14 He's not starting because despite his goals/assist contributions, he's not as good a player as Gordon. Neither he or Gordon are right wingers. It's a problem and I'd totally understand Barnes wanting to leave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 14 Share Posted December 14 Basically it’s all about both him and Gordon wanting the same role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be where we hoped to be - two quality players in most positions is what you ideally need. But we can't be where we hoped to be, that much is becoming clear. So yes, maybe sell so we can improve where squad is much weaker. Edited December 14 by Turnbull2000 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronson333 Posted December 14 Share Posted December 14 (edited) Gordon stats this season: 3 goals & 1 assist from 1,241 minutes Barnes stats this season: 5 goals & 1 assist from 832 minutes. Barnes should be starting at the moment, he’s actually in decent form. Won’t be great for others to see if you perform, it doesn’t mean you’re in the team.

nufcjmc Posted December 14 Share Posted December 14 Didn't work again for me on the right and I hope I'm not being paranoid to me it looked like he was trying his best not to score against his old club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Gordon plays wells like he did today, he adds much more to the team than just goals and assists, his influence to our game is far greater if he in form IMO.

We all know we’re a much better side with Gordon on the left. It’s a tough one because Barnes is so good at what he’s good at but he’s poor at everything else.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 15 Share Posted December 15 In another time Barnes could probably be a striker IMO, but probably not in an age where everyone only plays with one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronson333 Posted December 18 Share Posted December 18 His shot that hit the post, I knew as soon as he hit it was going to be close. Such a good striker of the ball and finisher too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
