    Yet to see his contribution to our team. Also team selection suggested we are yet again set up to try to get a point . Why don't we just have a go for a win for a change instead of immediately fearing the opposition.

    There is the chance of Wolves (or any team) giving us a right thrashing if we go looking for the win each time. But Id also prefer to see us try that actually instead of blatantly looking for a 0-0 each time.

    Didn't he score against Sunderland ?! Looks a very useful player to me.

    I don't think he has has he? He seems to rotate with Hedges.

    I've only seen him play once so I can't really comment on Barnes specifically, but I don't see how starting him constitutes us not going for a win. We've 4 attacking midfielders, 2 attacking full backs and a striker. I don't agree with the sentiment that one up front is a negative formation. It just puts a lot of pressure on the midfield to perform.

    Well it doesn't help either when the service up to the lone striker is absolute rubbish, I just think the 2 up front gives us genuinely better attacking options for obvious reasons.
    But I realise we have to drop either a defender or a midfielder to have an extra striker.

    It doesn't at all. We've played more attacking football with a midfield 5 than a 4 this season.

    Virtually same team that went all guns blazing against Sunderland barring Bradshaw for Ugbo

    We've set up with four attack minded midfielders and a striker. We're hardly settling for a point.

    I'll stick my neck out and say player of the season potentially rip this division apart if he gets a run.
