Speaking to the Nottingham Evening Post, Barker said"I didn't even realise that I was up for the award, but it's always pleasing to get this kind of thing.
"The good thing is that it has come in a month when we have been unbeaten. It wouldn't have meant as much to me if it had been when we had lost three or four games."
"If we can keep the run going and get it into double figures then hopefully we can end the season on a high.
"Since Shirty (Peter Shirtliff) took over we have been going in the right direction and hopefully we can keep that going."
"I thought I had got the winner at one stage, but a draw was about a fair result to be honest.
"We could have got the winner at the end when Cokey had a great chance. He did everything right but he just lost his balance and couldn't quite squeeze it inside the post.
"Derby games are always special, so I was happy to keep my scoring run going in these matches."
"We played Notts at our place when they were top of the table and lost, yet now there are only two points between us. It shows how far we have come."
