Dixon, Livesey. S Williams, Grand (just be more careful with back passes), Parry, ARH, Howarth, Lacey. Cook, Walker, J Williams, Cowps = 12

Sign Tomlinson, Sutton, Cunnington (Bromley) +1 left back (NWA if available) +1 winger +1 striker(Bogle?) +2 midfield = 8

Carroll, 2 Newby's and Eccles to the reserves if we have any - or out on loan

Get rid of Mellor, Fofana, Grimes, Pilks (good but too injury prone), Symington, Ashton (good, but too slow and Cox favours taller players)

that should leave the odd space for loan players.
Keep Lacey? are you serious, does he actually know Barrow play in white? he cannot pass, he's lazy, he will not chase opponents down, need I say any more?
Lazy? absolute nonsense thats one thing he isn't agree the passing is what lets him down but he did get the assist for Cookys goal on Tuesday.

Never been Lacey's biggest fan but came on and did a job on Tuesday, extra body in midfield at 1-0 and set up Cooky, hopefully another 1 whose attitude has improved under Cox.

I don't he's ever had a problem with his attitude.
I think he will stay.
Tuesday night about 60 minutes in when the ref decided he wasn't giving fouls anymore and Braintree were just playing through the middle, cox brought him on to do a job and he did it

Christ.

That sounds worrying on both counts. If he does it sounds expensive , if he doesn't he needs replacing

I firmly believe if he was going to be a Barrow player next year then it would all have been sorted by now.

Im thinking Tranmere or Morecambe.

It would be frustrating as we have allowed him to rebuild his career twice with us now.

Don't blame him if hes being offered better money would just be a shame.

Totally agree give him a week, if he doesn't want to stay it gives Cox plenty of time to find a replacement.

Cooky's probably looking at having another go at a higher level while age is on his side. I've heard Motherwell or Morecambe but i wouldn't get in a bidding war for him.Good luck to him if he wants to go (which I think he's already decided) and thanks for his service !

I think Cox could be pretty ruthless and he knows what he wants. I think his retained list will be out immediately after the last game.

I think the only players he will definitely keep are Livesey Parry J Williams and Cook (unless he goes elsewhere).

A Few others might be retained as squad players.

Only my opinion.

Morecambe barely have two ha'pennies to rub together these days, he'd be crackers to go there.

If I were him i'd sign for Motherwell, score shitloads of goals and get a move to either Celtic or Sevco.

He would have the chance of playing in the early rounds of the Europa League to face sides like FC Eurodisney , Dynamo Ballykissangel and Atheltic Benidorm.

It wouldn't be the first time Motherwell have signed a striker from this level either, Louis Moult having joined there from Wrexham last summer. He's their top scorer.

Surely one of his current teammates, if not Cook himself is already the highest paid player in Barrow's history?
I doubt we're talking more than £1,200 p/w, which is probably what we need to be paying to stay up the top end of the table.
