That your judgement, in this case, that Barnes isn't good enough is incorrect.

A little bit of research (or having watched the team at all this season) would mean you'd know that Barnes was out injured earlier in the season. His record is 5 in 17, including 3 as sub, in the league. Not a bad record really.
On your basis, CMS and Hoskins have 0 in 19!
5 in 17? Wow...............

Great player for us. Long may the performances continue Ash!

Silly old bat
Or to put in a simpler way 1:3. Now look up striker ratios for other strikers.

If you accept it is 5 in 14 starts (which I realise doesn't suit your anti Barnes agenda), it actually is okay at this level. My point, which you ignore, is that you can't just make up stats to suit your (incorrect) points.
The ironic part of all this is that I actually don't have an anti Barnes agenda. The only agenda I do have is to put the blindingly obvious facts in front of the people who don't want to read them.

And there was me thinking that he was among the club's top 30 goal scorers.
No, if we're talking about the goals he's scoring right now, it's 5 in his last 5.

You give him NO credit whatsoever. He's playing out of position and doing a fine job yet you can't bring yourself to admit he's now doing OK. Why not cut the bullshit, you most certainly do have an agenda against him.

Or another way, 2 goals per game!
Barnes is just the fashionable player to blame for anything at the moment. He could score 50 goals this season and win us the league and people would still have a go at him and think he is useless!
"20 in the championship is okay, I suppose, but he's never a prem striker. Get rid"
Etc, etc.
I cannot understand the mindset of people who want to "get rid". It's baffling. I understand if you don't think he should START, but wanting to sell a player who has consistently chipped in with goals for years now, and adds a HUGE amount else to the team, it does come across as either childish or thick.

... which is the up-to-date version of "20 in the League One is okay, I suppose, but he's never a Championship striker. Get rid"
Besides, I wish Woody would leave that barrel alone. The scraping is getting a little bothersome.

Barnes is getting better game by game under Oscar, anyone you cant see that either has an agenda or has limited knowledge of football.

He was good all round on Saturday, his positioning and movement was excellent. Has a great engine on him too, never stops trying.
