ram59 Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 One positive that I picked up from watching the highlights of last night's game is that the much derided Barks, twice showed just what we want from a winger, pace and an accurate cross. His assist for Collins was top drawer and on his wrong foot, it was no fluke either, deliberately looked over to where Collins was, before picking him out. Later on, he went down the opposite wing and put in a great ball, which Brown couldn't quite finish off and maybe should have left it for Thommo.

I've always rated Barks, I just think he was managed wrongly, in my opinion. He was in a rich vein of form over the Christmas period last season or season before (i forget which now), I remember him scoring 2 in 3 or 3 in 4 games and was dropped inexplicably. r_wilcockson, RadioactiveWaste, ram59 and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my view Barks has done very well for the rams since signing A very good asset to the club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barks often makes good choices in the final third, but his ability to consistently get involved in games is his problem. You can normally tell within the first 10/15 minutes if he’s going to do anything or not. Crewton and EnigmaRam 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vonwright Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 I like Barkhuizen. He came with real pedigree - a regular in a top half Championship side for four or five seasons. He's still very fast. He's technically pretty good. He's not the kind of winger who will single handedly rip teams apart but he's a valuable asset who will add something to good teams.

If Brown hadn't had his shirt pulled he would likely have put it away. Penalty. Something they should have had a short time later for Cash's challenge on their young lad whose name I forget.

We haven’t signed anyone better as of yet ( obviously NML is better) a decent performer never outstanding but he’s usually the one who warne takes off first along with the now departed Sibley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think one of Barks's failings is his terrible decision-making! But I do agree he's either in the game at the start, or invisible for the match. If he didn't have the renewal clause, I'd have let him go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Lower division wingers who blow hot and cold....shiver me timbers if that isn't the majority of them. Barks is ok, not perhaps a standout but a done his job and had some good form and some bad form.bnot a wing back though. Crewton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That goal v Exeter City (a) was superb. Cut in from the left wing and curled it around the keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
