YouRams Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Anyone get the chance to see him for u21's how did he do? Just on sentiment I would have kept him as a squad player. But without seeing him its an unfair judgement really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 Twitter fans not happy.33 in September, 3 years out injured. Sorry but the club has stood by him, helped him return to fitness but as a club we've moved on.Do we need another Riggott now?Our defence needs stregthening, we want promotion. We haven't got the games for a fairy tale ending.If we're giving chances out to prove themselves Rawson and Hanson should be at the top of the list. Love to be proven wrong and with him also tweeting the Championship is his target will be interesting to watch. Wish him all the luck, expect he will find it tough finding a Championship club, pay as you play League 1 would be a releastic target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramarena Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Good luck to him. By the sounds of it he's still quite a distance from being ready. Shame for the guy as he's put in a huge effort to get fit again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stive Pesley Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Shaun BarkerVerified account @barks5 I've been ready to step up to 1st team football for a few weeks now and with a pre season under my belt The Championship is my target. He's being polite here, he said a "couple of months" when we asked him on Monday! I think we all saw it coming, and I doubt there is anyone here that doesn't wish him all the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukedcfc Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Shame he didn't get the send off he deserved. Good luck Barks, I hope you find a club and you show them what you can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronnieronalde Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I wish there was room for sentiment in football.I nearly dare not say it, but I'm gutted that Shaun has left and really feel that after he's put himself through what he's put himself through another year wouldn't have done any harm.Not pleased at all with the first two decisions of the post season.

Rambam Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 The writing on the wall was when his giant picture on the front of the stadium went. Only downside was Igor had to go as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Am Sheep Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 As Daveo said, no room for sentiment but at the same time part of me wonders if he might have been worth a 1 year contract.The club has played a huge part in his rehabilitation though so I hope he's not bitter in any way about not getting a bittersweet ending here.I'm pretty sure he will be playing Championship football next season.

Derbados Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 shame we couldn't have thrown him on at 3-0 down to Reading and given him a proper send off, would have been the only positive from that day! but football is football, i just hope we bring in some top quality defenders for next season!

McClaren was never going to pick him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramexpat Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Steve obviously wants a clean slate , in his eyes get rid of the "deadwood" , its unfortunate barker got injured but i really doubt he could regain his levels, hes 33 now league 1 would be a safe bet for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duracell Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I wish there was room for sentiment in football.I nearly dare not say it, but I'm gutted that Shaun has left and really feel that after he's put himself through what he's put himself through another year wouldn't have done any harm.Not pleased at all with the first two decisions of the post season. I think this is actually better for everyone. Barker's really going to struggle to get a game next season, even if he starts it fully fit. He's getting on a bit, and I presume we'll be strengthening.It's a shame that we couldn't throw him on for the last game, although we ourselves were miles off being able to do that. At what point, though, does the sentimentality hamper both parties?Barker needs to find another club where he can be a leader, and play games. He hasn't got too many seasons left in him, probably only a couple with what's gone on.Keeping him on for another season where he'll probably be in and out of the team for the sake of a standing ovation seems overly sentimental to me.
