He said: "All the lads signed the ball and he was really pleased, and he certainly deserved it. Barry is having a good season. Well done to Baz, I say.
"When the season started a few people thought he would be third or fourth choice striker, but then Jean Tigana sold Geoff Horsfield because he didn't really fit into his style of play and everything changed.
"Geoff is an old fashioned English centre-forward and that wasn't the style the gaffer wanted.
"He knew what Saha was like and he obviously fancied Barry Hayles because he's played most games this season and scored a lot of goals.
"I'm sure at the start of the season he knew exactly what he was doing and it paid off now, and Barry is certainly repaying the faith shown in him."
