I still believe it's too early to write Barkas off as a complete no-hoper.
Obviously he hasn't done himself many favours since he came in, but it's not all down to him.
Lennon didn't exactly inspire him (or anybody at all) in his first season.
He played in a brand new team with a defence in front of him which included Duffy! Last season's defence were a nightmare for whoever was between the sticks with a backline that looked terrified of everything!
Add to that he was in a new country under covid restrictions and even his harshest critic would have to cut him some slack.
I'm not sure how many games he played last year, but none of our keepers got an extended run in the team.
He's played ONE competitive game under AP with yet another makeshift defence.
I'm not saying he's the answer, I'm just saying he's had a colossal amount of shit to deal with as a new keeper, in a new country, with a pandemic and a shite manager in his first year.
