A recall with a further loan move to a League 1 or 2 side might be the best option for him.

gregg evans said that was the plan. he is going to be recalled in jan, and a league 2 side is lined up.

Get him up to Harrogate: I'll happily become 'special correspondent / Barry' for this site.

It did look like a great move from the outside.
Paul Cook is a seasoned manager who did a brilliant job at Wigan and seems to be turning things  around at Ipswich.
It would be a surprise from our point of view if he stayed there though as he's more than ready for first team football at that level.
Maybe a drop down to a lesser side and he'll be flying in no time.

But is he though? Maybe due to his age and relative inexperience at a higher age level he is not considered ready by them to play against experienced first-teamers yet. I know he is not injured so there must be some reason why he is not being included in the match-day squad. Perhaps a slightly lower level would be better for him at the moment to get important game time?

Agree Leeg. I think he does need more experience of playing at a lower level. He is still very young and it worked well for Cam.
The problem at Ipswich is that they are playing well, winning games and scoring goals, so he is behind two or three players there at the moment. Just one of those things that can happen. A recall and a loan elsewhere seems the best solution.

A difficult one.
He wasn't playing when Ipswich were struggling and he isn't involved when they're playing well.
If the lower league move comes offthen hopefully he gets some gametime experience .

Ipswich are twats. We should never loan them a player again.

Hopefully we learn from this and insist on game time as a pre-condition to agreeing any future loans.

I don't think creating a sense of entitlement around playing time amongst our youth players is necessarily the right way to go.

This loan move hasn't worked out so I'm sure the club will spend time understanding why. Hopefully Louie has also learnt a valuable lesson about how tough it is to make it as a pro and just how hard he needs to work.

But he needs game time so hopefully we can find him that in January.

I see Paul Cook got the sack at Ipswich this week. Maybe the new manager will give Barry a bit more game time.

In fairness we could only recall him from this month I believe.

What happens now then? He'll be behind Archer in the queue.

Also recalled Arjan Raikhy . They  both might well go back out on loan and get (Barry at least) more game time.

He's probably not been selected to play for a reason. Perhaps he is not ready yet considering his age and lack of experience at playing above his age range. Another spell on loan at a lower level should do him the world of good.

The same could be said about Archer and others I suspect.

I'd be surprised to see Archer go back out on loan given that Davis has been offloaded unless Gerrard brings in another striker during January.
