with Murray now out for the rest of the season and Holroyd failing to score or even come close surely its a good time to try the young lad Barker out seeing as he has been banging them in for the reserves and youth team.

If it was up to you would he start the next few games?

No..but sure he will be on the bench. In fact he's got to be , i think !

Joe Gatting used to bang them in for the youth and reserve teams.

Barker is, what, 16? 17? Give the kid a break and let him develop at his own pace, because the second he gets any involvement with the first team, expectation will rocket, and a few people on here will be slagging him off within a month if he doesn't score.

Stick him on the bench along with some youth teamers against Yeovil (silly doing it away from home, even in a fairly sterile environment like stadium:franchise) and give them 10-15 minutes if we are winning.

start with 4 -5 -1 with Barnes up front and bring on Holroyd as and if needed or even Virgo. If Hart is fit put him on the bench. If desperate recall Dickinson or Davies.

IF he has the ability to play in this division or the championship and it's a big IF i'd prefer him to be nurtured in the stiffs/youth team then get his chance when we're at Falmer, that way he won't have to be subjected to the Withdean moans should he not score every chance or spoon a few dodgy passes.

As the crabapple says he's only young there's really no need to rush him.

Barnes looked shit in a 4-5-1, 4-4-2 with Holroyd.
