    Except he has, against Ross County he made two good saves and against Dundee Utd he made at least one good save. He's played well against Motherwell and St.Mirren too. I've already said he needs to show more and that we should look for better, plus I'd rather have brought in Forster this summer, but there's no denying that the goals he's conceded have been down to our defending.

    Have you watched our defending this year? It's been a string of embarrassing errors that would have left most keepers with no chance. He deserves some criticism but he doesn't deserve the constant scapegoating that's occurred, he even had folk trying that after games he didn't even play in. :giggle1:

    Bain hasn't had a single clean sheet this season. Not one.

    i dont disagree with you on the defence. However, you're watching a different keeper than me.

    My original point was, he wasn't at fault for the goals last night. Ajer for the first not tracking the runner leaving a free header 6 yards out, then Christie and Ajer failing to prevent a low cross coming in and then Taylor not getting the tackle in before the shot were far bigger reasons for their goals last night. I hope we sign someone better in the summer, but Barkas is so far down our list of problems this season.

    If that's the case it's only because our other problems are so immediately alarming, because this guy is a seriously huge problem. He's not even a solid number 2, never mind number 1.

    He doesn't have a presence at all, does seem to communicate much either..

    Seen nothing to suggest he'll make it here...yet.

    He has enough ability to come good for us, imo.

    What are you on about? When did he ever turn his nose up at signing for Celtic?

    I remember when he was rumoured I watched a YT video (I know) of him. Can’t remember seeing him save a shot and hold it. It was all shot stopping and punching the ball and I thought at that time, he will not suit the style of play in our league. Haven’t seen him making any impressive saves even up to now. I can’t see it happening for him here.

    I'd cut our losses in the summer. Never gonna make it here.

    You just know a keeper when you see one in the same way you can tell if an outfield player has something and, from what I've saw, he ain't a keeper. He doesn't command his box, his positioning is all wrong, he can't hold the ball, he flaps at crosses and he doesn't communicate with the men in front of him so, all in all, I'd say £5 million down the drain.

    We could take any outfield player from our squad, give him a Jersey and gloves, and it would be an improvement.

    He’s one of these players that’s probs a good European keeper. The rough and toughness of the Scottish league doesn’t suit him. Ship him to Serie A and I bet you’ll see a different keeper.

    Cut the loses and start again. I’d even take a project at this rate. Can’t be any worse. The boy who was at Hibs for half a season looked twice the player Barky is.

    His confidence if he had any is shot!(excuse the pun)Not his fault he got a massive move to Celtic! this is down to the scouting the research and the recruitment department and its employees, this is on their heads.
