Question Should Barnard return after Loan?

[Austin the Shrimper]

So Lee seems to be doing pretty well after a couple of games, and we still have problems in front of goal. If his good form continues should he be given another chance in a Southend shirt? Yes or No?

He should never have gone.

Two more goals to, last game of the loan next Saturday I think, I would get him back or get another forward in definately

 

[Beefy]

I'm inclined to say yes because he is a goalscorer but if the manager won't play a formation or tactics which will allow Barnard to do his thing then is there really any point?

 

[Lester Bangs]

Just goes to show.......Barnard wasn't the problem.

 

[Angell Delight]

Been saying on here all season that Barnard would score goals in the right system where he receives service. Some on here were very quick to get on his back when Barnard was not the problem. Should never have gone and he's making Brown look rather silly at the moment. Let's see if PB makes ANOTHER mistake with Barney by not bringing him back.....

 

[tommy tucker]

will he want to come back .He is getting both starts and goals for crawley .

will he want to come back .He is getting both starts and goals for crawley .

no he's not

 

[Murkey_Mouse]

He getting his fitness and confidence back, which is much needed for both the player and the club.

 

[Shrimpers are Magic]

If Barnard is discarded when he is in clear goal scoring form then I will for the first time seriously question PB.

 

[IronMike]

Will Barnard even want to return I wonder...

 

[Barling Magna]

Barnard must come back and must play full games from now on. He's a seasoned goalscorer who can gain us promotion - if he is used properly.

 

[Tampa Blue]

He getting his fitness and confidence back, which is much needed for both the player and the club.

Didn't he have a full pre-season? I don't understand the fitness thing?

And as for confidence, then very simply if he plays he'll be confident but if he doesn't then he won't.

 

[tommy tucker]

Sorry I ment stevenage But still the same applys games and goals :blush:

 

[Portuguese Shrimper]

I think most people have summed it up well. Barnard would be a great goal scoring threat in the right formation but we
never play the right formation so whats the point!

 

[northlincsshrimper1]

Maybe he is playing for a Manager who wants him

 

[Another Surrey Shrimper]

The question contains the answer - yes.

Maybe he's being fed. He's hardly had a shot for Southend.

 

[smudgster]

Trouble is, Brown will have to admit his tactics are wrong and letting Barny go was a mistake. So no he will not be coming back.

 

[ian180]

Brown should swallow his pride and drive him back himself. However, as mentioned, if the tactics used don't get anything out of Barnard, no point
