Ward has had 10 assists on top of those 6 goals. 16 goal involvements in 39 is better than any of our current midfielders. Better than 1 in every 2.5 games. Also plays anywhere on the right so is not a direct comparison with Connolly.

Barnes is an interesting one. Physical presence which may help others in scoring a few but I agree with the poster who said you'd need more of a goalscorer playing off him. Maybe that's the plan?

It would appear strange to me if we considered Barnes a similar type of striker to Connolly. It doesn't strike me as an either/or kind of decision. If we were in for a Connolly type, then we probably still are regardless of interest in signing a Barnes type as their qualities are so different.

In League 1.
 
Leicester. It'll make a change to walk to the game (catch a bus anyway).
Once went to Leicester on minibus and we had two stragglers missing after the match. Plod told us we'd have to leave them behind as they'd catch up with us later, daft bastards. After a TwoWrights broadside, and some of the others, they let us wait for them. :emoticon-0125-mmm:



The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
 
i would have said no to barnes back in september
but i saw burnley quite a few times and i think he's the sort of player we have lacked this season

unless he demands crazy wages which i honestly don't think he will, he really would be an astute signing, the experience alone, a regular key part of a team that gained over 100 points just this season
he doesn't have

he's not meant to be and out and out scorer, but he's fantastic at holding the ball up and linking play, getting the ball from the midfield into attacking areas
he's everything oscar is not outside of the box

i'm not sure signing connolly is nonexclusive to signing barnes either
 
No, I'd like to think we're past making moronic decisions
Don't see him getting in consistently when we have a full squad including strikers. I may be wrong, but that's usually the next stage in a kids development.

No doubting he's a prospect but still think he needs to develop physically a bit more to be established in a playoff challenging side.
