A stat attack from the Geordie Journos. 

 

In 2025, in the PL, Harvey Barnes has got 7 goals and 4 assists across this season and last. That's in 25 games. 

 

Across the same period, Anthony Gordon has 2 goals and 1 assist in 23 games and all 3 of those came in January. 

 

So whilst Gordon might be the player with the higher ceiling, unless he starts to actually show that, then he should be left playing second fiddle to Barnes.

Aye. That sums it up. Gordon has a higher ceiling but has been pretty shit since the Brighton sending off. Barnes kept him out of the team at the back end of last season and had a good understanding with Tino at LB.

 

I’d say Barnes deserves to keep his place.

 

Gordon needs a rocket up his arse.

For someone who is supposedly so zen, he needs a good helping of self reflection although he also needs to be playing with Hall in the team for a fair comparison, the FB's add so much to the wingers.

After that one showing at the weekend Gordon needs to take that as massive motivation. He needs to do a lot to displace Barnes. It feels this season Barnes has stepped up a notch.

He couldn't displace Barnes at the back end of last season and should be the case again. I think Gordon terrifies defenders more but Barnes has better output. Barnes will also get you a goal out of nothing. A proper poacher.

 

I didn't realise his Dad was pro (Paul). I used to watch all the local goals (Darlo, Scarborough Hartlepool) on the weekly roundup when I was kid and remember Paul Barnes always scoring for York.

gordon does better work off the ball (when he's on it) but Barnes is the best finisher at the club now Isak has gone and deserves a run in the side ahead of gordon on this year's evidence. they'll all get game time with the amount of fixtures coming up. hopefully the competition from barnes galavanises gordon to raise his levels in a world cup year

I didn't think you were a fan.
