Unusually, Barny hasn't been subbed in the last couple of games. Lo and behold he has bagged a couple of later goals. The moral of the story is, KEEP YOUR GOALSCORERS ON THE PITCH.

Sorry Mush I don't want to jump on you here but for quite some time NA was saying that Barnard was not fit......in that he couldn't last the whole 90mins without possibly causing more problems. Now he is fit he plays 90mins and I have to say for the last month he has been superb

His goal return this season considering suspensions, injuries and other distractions is ridiculous - If we'd had him all season I think he'd be topping the goal scoring charts for this league

Barny was subbed against Charlton a couple of weeks ago- is he honestly any fitter now than he was then? |

I think we have the best front pair in the league now. As well as Barney has been playing it is Lambert that has been the lynchpin. He is as much a provider as scorer.

Earlier in the season everyone was marvelling at what a good partnership Lambert and Guly had struck up, but in reality Lambert works well with Guly, Barnard and Connolly because Lambert's a good player. I can't help but suspect that Barny was in the bad books earlier in the season (probably due to his run-in with the law) and now he's back in favour. |

This will upset people I'm sure but on Saturday I thought the weak link was Lambert. I love the guy but the more I see of him the more I can see why he hasn't played at a higher level.
I do think Barnard was injured as I don't see why NA would have kept saying it. As I said there is injured can't play and nursing an injury. I also think that is Chaplows problem at the moment he doesn't look like he has full mobility and is playing within himself

Lambert is not playing as an out and out striker these days. In the two games (not many I know), he was involved in just about every move, playing on both flanks and through the centre - and doing it very well. His first touch seems to be better than Beattie's used to be in the few games I have seen him play.
