Shaun Barker interview

Derby County defender Shaun Barker said Saturday's 2-1 win over Swansea City was a huge relief coming on the back of his "lowest" moment as a Rams player.

The win was Derby's first home success since 20 November and Barker told BBC Radio Derby it was vital coming so soon after the 2-1 loss at Middlesbrough.

He said: "That defeat's probably the lowest I've felt since I've been here.

"It really hit the boys hard and a result like this [swansea] is the best way to pick ourselves up."

The win over the Swans means Nigel Clough's side are now nine points clear of the Championship relegation zone.

Barker added: "Our away performances in the last three or four weeks have been pretty decent but our home form has been really poor recently.

"We are at a massive club with massive expectations and a massive fanbase and when we are not performing - like we haven't been at home for a good couple of months - then it's tough to take.

"It's not a lack of effort. but bad decisions, mistakes and a lack of confidence has really shot us.

"We have been under a lot of pressure. It's not been an enjoyable time. But hopefully a result and a performance like that can spur us on."

Well I think he doesn't understand the club and fans at all. The mauling at the city ground has to be the low point for any player this season. I say get rid and get someone else in

You can always find a negative twist if you look hard enough, surprised no-one else picked up on this:D:p:D

He did a very long post match interview after the match with Radio Derby on Saturday. He sounds very articulate and knowledgeable; far more so than Clough does actually.

Savage can hardly string a coherent sentence together yet they give him a radio show and TV work. Barker could go far when he retires from the game.
