cheron85 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I like image 27 which shows Barker mid-mini-game... Passing is all very well but playing in an almost game like situation with twisting and turning plus potential challenges is where his knee will get really tested...

Guest Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Powerful picture. I really hope he pulls on the shirt again, and is selected for the right reasons and not just as a PR stunt. I've said many times, I think the reception he would get would make a lot of people very emotional, I reckon I would definitely shed a tear or two. If that's somehow aligned with a promotion celebration, it'll be too much for me!!! He may regret the last 2 minute cameo vs Reading to win the league ......... not sure he will be up for the pitch invasion great escape !!!

Srg Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Are you serious? Barker won everything in the air... When Carroll was being hyped about Barker beat him to everything.. Then you see Keogh who struggles against King for Blackburn? Barker and Buxton would be my first choice centre half partnership.. 2 old fashioned centre half's.. Not Keogh where he runs out the back 10 yards, turns around and passes it backwards or when he does play it forward he plays it at knee height and 50mph. Think you'll find, if you watch it back, it was Buxton who was getting beat everytime by essentially a winger in the air. But hey, #agenda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hey, #agenda You're in the minority if you're doubting buxtons aerial strength. Keogh is a poor centre half and I hope McClaren has some balls to do something about it... Should Raul be a better centre half than Keogh then I hope he wont hesitate in taking the clumsy **** out. But hey everyone has their own opinion!

Mostyn6 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I also have to add that I thought Barker was our best leader since Van Der Laan. One cannot underplay how poorly motivated and organised the teams he played in were at the time. He would've looked like Tony Adams in this side!

Howard Canitbé Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Try this one - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAhYrp_XMUw So good to see Barker training again. HUGE standing ovation in order for his return - whether it's a full return or just a cameo for the last 15 of a game. Super Shaun! Not sure I've ever seen such a huge level of devotion and commitment to the club than Shaun Barker's long recovery. True professional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howard Canitbé Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 What have you seen?? He's been invisible for 3 years. Apologies, didn't realise the pedantic police were on the prowl. I was speaking figuratively. To have the motivation to get yourself over an injury which would have ended the careers of the vast majority of footballers takes major dedication and one hell of a professional attitude.
