We've added Rowe / O Donnell and Mcevilly and lost Jackson / Almond / Anderson -These new players will bring experience and hopefully a bit more steel to the side. That's what we need. Hopefully one or two more when the loan deals start.

:lol: Bad choice of words by Mr Bayliss, Graham.

I wasn't actually defending him or that statement & I don't think it's an ideal signing but we've got to remember who we are & where we are.
Money is a problem so we don't have to go there, we're near the foot of the table, we've got what will probably be our two main strikers sorted so just who do we expect?
Sorry but brian keen said on rc on Tuesday that money was there for players so there is in excuse.
everyone is entitled to their opinion, deal with it

I think you know exactly what he meant.

You make it sound like there's a bottomless pit of money for players.
We didn't underestimate them, we just didn't think they were that good.

Ian, you are in danger of becoming a happy clapper. Please don't ;)

I agree. He looked like a carthorse every time I saw him last time he was at Barrow. Got knows how much slower and heavier he'll be now!

What we had were several empty seats on the bench.

Now we have one fewer, a place having been filled by an FA Trophy Final hero (ish).

Seems sort of better to me...

I Suppose some people would rather we had 18 or 19 players to pick from ? But on our gates we cant afford to have 3 players sat in the stand taking 2or 3 hundred quid a week each out of the club like we have had previously.Bad Maths !!!!!

When he was here, that goal aside, he looked miserable and the Palestinian crisis had more movement. He spent most of his time staring darkly at his fixed odd coupon while injured barring 'that' goal.


I love the song, I hope I'm proved very wrong but I think it's desperately insane.

That video just shows what can happen when Rutherford whips a cross in early rather than trying to beat 7 men

Bloody hell, how depressing is it when you put it like that??

I realise you were trying to be positive, but you've done the opposite.

When you need to battle, players like Almond / Jackson just don't command enough presence- did you ever see either of them out muscling a centre half- too lightweight and too quiet on the pitch. Bayles said as much himself- that our forwards get bullied too easily by the centre halfs. I don't think that will happen with Rowe and Mcevilly. Losing Tom Anderson was a blow, but from what I'm reading O'Donnell is a good defender.
