I didn't realise that Cotter hadn't been playing for Notts County, he last played as a 90th minute sub on the 27th of September!!! It looks like he will be coming back anyway?
Personally I like Barry he always gives his all but tends to be caught too far up the pitch and tries to showboat now and again, but you can't fault his effort.
Maybe keeping Mael to cover L/B & R/B might be a better option but I just don't trust him.
