cosmic Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 So does that mean he'll probably be match fit the same time as Thorne? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cam the Ram Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 So does that mean he'll probably be match fit the same time as Thorne? I reckon he might take a month or two longer due to how bad his injury was, but there's definitely a chance he could feature later in the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sith Happens Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I reckon he might take a month or two longer due to how bad his injury was, but there's definitely a chance he could feature later in the season Surely will be one of the longest periods out with a single injury that any proffesional footballer has ever had?

condor Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 Wish him all the best training. Unfortunately he isn't the answer right now to our leaky defence. Such a shame he had such a horrific injury. He was our best player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Well tickle my tits till Friday, I'm happy to say I was wrong, looks like he's making a comeback. Well done Shaun, I think a few grown men will have a tear in their old eyes when you grace the pitch again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramslad1992 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I'd love to see him get a run out for half an hour at the end of the season when we are already up! If he could keep fit and get games at under 21 level he could quite possibly do a job at a lower league club like Burton or Chesterfield... Then come back and be a youth coach or something ambassadorial. Barker is our club captain and there will always be a place for him I should imagine.

Ram a lamb a ding dong Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Agree that no way will he play in first team again but my what a pro. He must be taken on in the coaching staff as he is 1000% Ram thru and thru. Would love him to even make bench but too many ahead of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLACML Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Time plays tricks on the mind. Fair play to him for getting to this stage but a pre-injury Barker wouldn't even be on the bench. He did well for us, but we've improved so much. I hope he can play for the U21's at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Sagan Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Time plays tricks on the mind. Fair play to him for getting to this stage but a pre-injury Barker wouldn't even be on the bench. He did well for us, but we've improved so much. I hope he can play for the U21's at some point. Disagree with this. He was our best defender, even when we had Shackell. However, I'd still be amazed if he played again, but full marks to the guy for persevering to this point. But I would wince when ever he went into a challenge...

Maybe slightly exaggerating but he would certainly be third, maybe 4th choice now Albentosa is here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loweman2 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 You rated Barker above Shackell? You rate keogh Buxton shotton and whitbread over a pre injury barker ?? Really ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLACML Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 You rate keogh Buxton shotton and whitbread over a pre injury barker ?? Really ?? Buxton, 100%. Keogh, yes. Shotton, it's fairly tight. Whitbread is never fit so I wasn't counting him. From the little I've seen of Albentosa, he's far superior as well. I'm feeling generous, so he would be our fourth best CB.
