IMA MAROON Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 JJ has said he has only two centre halves. Big Zal and Bouzid. The right back position is being filled by either Jonsson or CT. Where does that leave Barr? Folk said he would come and captain the club. He is murder and picking up ?4,500.00 a week for doing ef all. It looks like another one of they guys we cant punt or even give away because nobody else is going to pay him that kind of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Templeton'sUnderpants Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Fully believe there is a quality player in there, I'm hoping its because Barr has been carrying an injury jj just forgot as its not like him to just give up on a player. Hope jj gives him another chance and gets the best out of him as I reckon his best will be pretty damn good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drylaw Hearts Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 He's been a big disappointment but I'm hoping JJ can sort him out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homme Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Barr's stock was pretty high when we signed him. If he doesn't make it with us he will find another club no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bozi Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 like others i firmly believe there is a player in there. i am hopeful he is having "Pressley Syndrome" where a promising young centre back is signed,shunted to RB,loses all confidence,gets called a flop and them shows great mental strength to come back from this and develop into a top CB for this club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juan Rom?n Riquelme Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 He is a better centre half than our two starters when he is playing at his best. Think he's struggled with the step up this season. He had a good game at RB at Motherwell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavieG Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 He is a better centre half than our two starters when he is playing at his best. Think he's struggled with the step up this season. He had a good game at RB at Motherwell. On what basis have you come to this conclusion? I watched a few Falkirk games last season, either against us or on TV and he was average at best. He was meant to be an International player FFS so why he hasn't made the "step up" as you put it. Perhaps it is because he isn't very good. In fact some of his performances have been disasterous. Even at Motherwell he was average at best. Given the fact that our Manager and his 2 coaches were all defenders, you would have thought that they could have sorted him out, but as yet, the answer is no. He may make it, but I would much rather have Webster in the team than Barr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven100 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Barr isn't used to playing football that is why he has stuggled this season. Falkirk never played football when they did they were bottom of the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It leaves him having to work VERY hard on his confidence, positioning, passing and decision making, so that he can concentrate on training as hard as he can to try and compete for the right-back position in the team... If he makes it, he makes it, if he does not do enough to dislodge the other competitors for the position then he does not get a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skivingatwork Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Has to be a player in there somewhere, needs to work on positioning, sharpness and distribution. Surprised he wasn't loaned out for the rest of the season if we're going to sign Webster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redm Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I'm glad we signed Darren Barr on a pre-contract and looking forward to him joining us in the summer. I actually forget he even exists most of the time now. Disappointing but either JJ will see something and keep him or he'll be out the door in a few months time. Personally I hope it's the first option but he'll have to do something pretty quick if he intends to fight his way back into this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is it only Barr for the purposes of this comparison who is allowed to play at his mythical best? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a good game at RB at Motherwell. I thought he was pretty solid agianst Motherwell too. Think he needs a regular run in the team before writing him off. I still think he could be an important player for us, especially when Bouzid leaves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Broo Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 We could maybe sell him to Hibs in the summer, I think he'd do well in the first division..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vengeance Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I fear for us at the back anytime he has played, he was slightly better at Motherwell that night but still nowhere near the standard we expect!! I thought he would've went out on loan in January! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coco Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 His best football at Falkirk as far as I saw was when Pressley was showing him around the field. He's too short for a centre half - and has looked like a complete sap when he's played for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupid Sexy Flanders Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I reckon he'll become a good player for us. I don't know why he hasn't been that good so far, but I'm sure he'll get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambomullins Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I got slaughtered a few months ago for suggesting that Barr had been a disappointment so far at Hearts but I stick by it. I personally feel that he will come good but he needs to sort out his head as his confidence is currently in his boots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBjambo Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 He is injured right now. Doubt it does the lad any favours being used as a utility man either... some say he's a RB but he looks far more comfortable as a CB. Eddie May played him at Rb, Elvis as a CB... So who's right?! If he'd gone to the sheep he'd have been playing every week and we'd be moaning that we lost out! We have Zal, Bouzid and Eggert keeping him out the team right now... Eggie himself regularly gets pelters for his play also. Barr is a good player, JJ just hasn't been able to get the best out of him as yet. His time will come. And I think he was solid against well also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
