Barker explains that own-goal.

Barker has been one of the Millers better players thoughout the season, and his second place in the MillersMad player of the season competition backs that up.

However, we really dont need another head in hands moment which we had at Colchester when we play our final game of the season this coming Saturday afternoon.

Barker, speaking to MillersWorld said, "On Saturday I thought Neil Cutler was a bit further back so I thought I would just cushion the ball into his hands to take off a bit of pressure."

"But obviously, he was a few yards further forward than I thought and the ball looped stright over him. I was thoroughly disappointed. They had a bit of pressure early on but I thought we had a few half-chances ourselves, It was end to end stuff at the time and thats why it was even more dissapointing for us. If we had kept it at 0-0 to half time then we had a good chance of getting a result.

"However these things happen and I've got to pick my head up and try get on with the game this Saturday. We all kind of thought it was going to go to the wire, this club dont like to make it easy, it never has done."

"Now we have to go into Saturday's game with confidence and we fancy our chances of getting the right result."

"We wont be going out looking for a draw. We fancy our chances at home against any team in this league, I think thats shown in our last few months at home. We'll be going out there hoping and expecting to get a win and get the result that we need."
