Barnes’ opportunities of first team football with Argyle have been reduced by the signing of USA international forward Kenny Cooper last week.
Torquay, struggling near the bottom of League Two, are in need of a striker after Scott Rendell suffered a broken forearm recently.
Barnes has made three starts and four substitute appearances for Argyle in the Championship this season.
He scored in the 4-1 victory over Reading at Home Park at the end of December.

“Atlonglast - the charity work done by Rory unfortunately does not make him a good footballer.
If it did we would have the Pope and Mother Theresa up front.”

“Will everyone take note- No-one has a condition of the knee that means he can't play for long periods of time at the moment!! It's not about him not being rated - they don't want to make his condition worse!!!!! Look up Osgood-Schlatters.”

“People should understand that players on the pitch follow the managers instructions and not play how they think they should ,Fallon does what PM tells him what he wants him to do as all the team does ,end of argument .
Good move for Barnes he needs experience and may score at Div2 level which will give him soom confidence .
The game at Reading is make or break and I think an attacking line up is whats needed ,its obvious that the lack of goals have put us in the position we are in ,so my line up would be (if fit)
Stockdale
McNamee
Johnson R
Arnason
Sawyer
Mackie
Johnson D
Noone
Wright-Phillips
Cooper
a gamble yes ,but something a bit different because I think we are predictable .
