Players we should keep.

For all things Barrow AFC. Keep discussions civil and fair, we're all Barrow aren't we!

The new keeper as back-up.

Jackson is the worst, most overrated defender I can remember us having. If he could stop over hitting every cross then he would at least have one redeeming factor. But he's shit.
I really don’t get this infatuation with Whitfield. Along with many others he has been dreadful. We had him at his best when Wild signed him but once he left the first time he never recaptured that form at Burton or with us.
The first poster had it right for me.
MJ Williams
McCann ( best player on the park first half yesterday showed what he is capable off played further forward)
Danny Rose

The rest I would be happy if they all moved on
Whitfield is a right winger not an adapted defender

That's why we send them out to lower league clubs one by one.
Frustrate them we have seen how spineless they are they won't want a CV with low league football on it .
We need to repay these reprobates for what they gave done to this club.
I think it was player power that got rid of Deano and we have seen how that's ended
He probably was a bit abrupt and it was rumoured he went to far.
Nothing as far as some of the Managers we hired one in particular the moral police were missing when he was appointed.
Sending a player out on loan is a new contract to which the player has to agree.
So if they don't want go we're stuck with them.

Too many players blowing out their arses and nowhere near fit enough,the fitness is probably the worst it’s been since we went up to the EFL.

I don’t think any of them will want to stay and I would be happy for all to be transfer listed to find other clubs.

That doesn’t mean they will go. The club and those players need a clean break.

We must keep the nucleaus of a squad. Can't start again from scratch.

Carlisle have just lost in the play offs - so that's another team that will be fighting for the same players as us.

Carlisle can afford the players just beyond our reach.
Which is why we want someone who can bring in players and develop them.

They'll have a decent budget but they are heavily incentives debt!

Yes double edged sword for us, wanted them out the way to be honest, because they will keep on spending big, whilst it gives a bit of added spice to the league next season. They will almost certainly be recruiting to win the league next season.

Dinosaur Hughes will pay the price for this. Boreham Wood showing it can be done. Impressed, a bloody good side. With Tom White pulling the strings in midfield!
