Barker has been on the bench because Gus likes to get young players to gain the experience of mixing with the first team, hence March has been on the bench also but anybody would expect that he would be well behind Buckley and Lua Lua or even JFC in the pecking order. It is one thing...
neither are good enough or aware of the game enough to be considered ready for the first team even for a short tome as a sub. The simple choice for Gus is bring in a loan signing and go for promotion or stick with what we have and accept that promotion is a bridge too far for us.
