This has not been the case with Barnett and he obviously has had no suitable offers, what does that tell you!!

We are no doubt his last resort and that does not say much for his ambitions, as he must be content to collect low wages with not even the chance of regular football. The guys general body language does nothing for many of the spectators, and I for one, would have been pleased to see the back of him, and spend the money, on a player who did want to play for Stanley

Sorry but I just cannot agree with most of that. In too many games he was played out of position on a wing. Those words about "quick decisions" were exactly that - simply words. We had exactly the same from JC in the last close season. It sounds good for a manager to say that but it is actually meaningless.

Dead right, R.R. In any case I thought Charlie was one of our stand out players last season in many of the games I saw him selected for.
