Newport County sign Barker

[El Turi]

Proves that the English FA get international clearance sorted a lot quicker than the incompetent Welsh FA.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

He played for the last 11 minutes of the goalless draw at Cheltenham.

I think that he will do good for them as that is hi standard. I am surprised his hometown club Portsmouth havent signed him on loan although there was talk of it earlier in the season..

 

[Super Steve Earle]

You can't hold back a players career because of a grudge.

Good luck to him. I hope he does well. But that's about the level of players we produce at the moment. Still a bloody good level of football for any young man.

Yes, JFC and Rohan Ince have shown that DS players will never cut it at Champioship level. Oh, wait a minute...

And Solly March still to come. I've an idea that in time he could prove to be the best of the three.

I will be at the Oxford-Newport game on Tuesday, so will keep an eye on Barker.

He'll need to improve his attitude first if his loan spell at Newport will be a success. Barnet sent him back early because he allegedly couldn't be bothered to travel to Dagenham. I expect he'll be released soon if his time at the Welsh club doesn't work out.

And we produced Ince? No we got him from Chelsea!

JFC joined as his step dad played for us

March joined from Hastings I believe at the age of 16

Non of which I would say have been slowly nurchured into Albion players. However the work being done in the ads is fantastic. But we are only producing players who have been let go by other clubs. There loss is our gain.

Anyway it's been a couple of years since we have brought a centre back into the starting 11 must be a new one on the production line.

He's only at Newport until the New Year, covering for injuries.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

He'll get on in the second half, once he's had a chance to catch a glimpse of County's style of play. Probably when Danny Crow comes off. Crow has only scored four goals this season (two against the Albion, as it happens).

Well ... that prediction came true tonight. Barker came on after 66 minutes.

They were all DS Squad players for over a year before they progressed to 1st team. March has been with us for 2 or 3 years starting in the youth squad, then the DS.

Unused sub today. Looks like another failed loan spell at a league two club for Barker.

right both times n'est ce pas?

Joined us at 16 from Hastings then we let him go - Lewes picked him up and after a good season for them we re-signed him............ at least I'm pretty sure that is how it went

I headed to Newport today (91st ground of the current 92) and was hoping to see Barker, but the way the game went with Newport taking the lead it looked unlikely he would even get a cameo as for a big chunk of the game Newport were defending a 1 goal lead, coming under increased pressure from Cheatersfield where the midfield needed bolstering rather than our Barker coming on.

As it turns out Cheatersfield drew level but shortly then went down to 10 giving away a pen and Newport capitalised to go 2-1 up after the pen and then 3-1 which was needed as 10-men Cheaterfield scored a late second for a nervy injury-time.

Hope George gets some game time soon. Newport look pretty reasonable for the level.
