Barker the one highlight today


To Be A Ranger

He done *exactly* what we needed him to do today - fill a position on the bench due to the injury to Jones (ahead of him in the pecking order, imo), then come on and do a job for us.

He filled that bench position, came on and scored a very decent goal.

I can't complain one jot about that, especially with our first teamers being somewhat shy on the shooting/scoring side right now - fair play to the guy.

Apart from the 3 points obviously.

This guy looks like he could be a good player . Takes on and beats his man. Scores a goal. Set up a few decent chances. I like what I saw.

And if anyone says 'but it's only Livingston' go fuck yourself.

I think the phrase you were looking for is ‘only 10 man Livingston’.

Took his goal well.

Gives a bit of hope, with the two who might be seen as ahead of him being injured now.

Fuckin stats. Tav was fuckin shite but if I started a thread about that I'd have all the statisticians on saying how many crosses he put in and he scored as well.

I doubt any of his zillion crosses actually found a team mate and his goal was a flukey cross (loved it though).

I have to disagree about his goal - his cross was a peach, whipped in with pace to the back post - if our players get a touch it’s a goal anyway and defenders scared of balls like that ( but yet keeper made an arse if that thinking someone would get a touch) oh and he played ok.

Never fails to astound me what a difference a goal makes to the perception of a players performance. 

I thought Barker did nothing aside from a very well struck goal. Yet you can often see players totally run the show but don’t get plaudits because they didn’t score or they didn’t get an assist. 

Stats are sometimes useful and often not. 

Nobody really shone yesterday though. Thought Kent looked hungry before his injury but apart from that we were average all over the pitch.
