I thought Barnes played really well, his work rate was tremendous, he did an excellent job as target man even though he isnt one naturally. His movevement for the first goal was absolutely excellent. Just get off his back and support the guy.

A very good performance from Ash, delighted for him
I do however struggle to see how he will make the side when everyone is fit.
I know its a squad game but I just dont see him getting any game time.

People have been saying that for about 3 years now. He'll always be involved one way or another, even if it's coming off the bench. His determination and will to succeed are UNREAL.

The first goal typifies his style of play, when Ulloa or CMS return there should still be a place for him in the team with less pressure, i'm sure he will score even more goals. He is doing well just needs to control his emotions sometimes and concentrate on the game.

Both of our recent managers have rated him highly enough to prefer him over players that some NSCers see as better players. He keeps proving himself as incredibly versatile and does exactly what is asked of him, a manager's Mr Reliable rather than a makeshift misfit he is made out to be by so many to be.
How anyone who has been watching him for the last 4 years cannot see the improvement almost month on month is astonishing.

I have a funny feeling that we may see a team with an attacking 3 of Leo, CMS and Ashley before the season's out 
Personally I didn't think he played that well Saturday, he's played much better recently IMO.
No doubt that will be deemed an unacceptable opinion by some

He was not great at Bournemouth, fantastic goal aside. He was worse against Barnsley. How recent are you talking about?

Top scorer this season as well
Er, I don't think so!
We've already established that penalties don't count, and that his first on Saturday was SO easy, that it isn't counted either. We lost against Newport, so that goal was pointless. What does that leave? Two in 15?

Also, Bournemouth was hit and hope......and certainly not the type of goal you want a centre forward to be scoring. Rule that one out.

I'm still amazed at the negativity towards Ash. His work rate is immense, and he's had to be the front man, solo, for most of the season.
For Conways goal on Saturday, it was his great intervention, robbing the Leic player and laying off to SD, that led to the goal.

Don't wait for me!
So who in your opinion is playing well recently, bearing in mind no-one turned up for Bournemouth except a moment of genius from Barnes, and probably only Conway came out with any credit against Barnsley?
It is frankly pathetic and so predictable, every time he scores, we get all the Barnes lovers on here, going on and on about it. They clearly don't pay attention either, what about that shot he completely scuffed in the warm up ? That's right poor control and a scuffed shot and he didn't even look that bothered - league 1 get rid !

So, to recap:
1 - Newport: doesn't count because we lost (and it's the league cup)
2 - Blackburn: penalty, doesn't count
3 - Blackburn: I'm assuming this one doesn't count because it was easier than his first v leicester (Crofts shot was spilled by the keeper and Barnes tapped in the follow up)
4 - Bournemouth: Hit and Hope, so doesn't count
5 - Leicester: Easy, doesn't count
6 - Leicester: Penalty, doesn't count
So, really, we're still waiting for Barnes to score a goal that counts.
Also he was very good after he scored the penalty against Blackburn.

I love those Conway threads. Richie Suvner's deserves the Most Ridiculous Football-based Thread of 2013.
