Yeah agree marra just be hard not to see either jammer or forber in the team as they have been around the club for so long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My personal view is 2 new wingers (if Brad goes) 2 new centres 2 big battering props Two big props. A half back & 2 centres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superb effort to get out of the ingoal at a key point when we were under the cosh . I think Bickerdike looks like he could develop into a very handy player , he’s come on leaps and bounds this year and was rock solid on Sunday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally everyone I seen and spoke to had smiles on their faces. After a tough couple of seasons I couldn't be happier! Well done to everyone connected to the club. What a feeling! We've all got to experience the lows to enjoy the highs. Too many lows though lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cumberland Sausage Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Well I have waited a few day's to catch my breath before posting.What an exciting game that was and a Superb defensive effort as Donny really put us under the Cosh for 20 minutes in that second half with us holding them up over the line 3 times and them also dropping the ball over the line.The look of delight on the players faces at the end of the game showed how much it meant to them as well as us and is nothing less than they deserve considering the circumstances in which they have achieved it. With the right additions to this squad and the talented locals we have I am sure Chris will ensure we are competitive next season but be in no doubt this is a big step up compared to this season and will not be easy.I hope Joe Brown and Rhys Clarke have enjoyed their time with us enough to sign on again for next season as both have been excellent for us and hope Decod decides to continue his journey with us.

wonky Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 I think 2 wingers and a full back are a must if brads left, couple of centres, 2 props, a half back as I suspect that could be buffers last game. I wouldn’t be surprised to see jake leave with him not being selected recently. And big rumours Liam mcavoy is back with us. the futures bright,the futures blue and white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Town utd Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 well done town brilliant achievement this year,town need some big players next season in the championship or the player's need to bulk up in the off season which I'm sure they will, hope town can build now and stay in championship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its gonna be a tough off season for Chris & the BOD getting the quality in so we can finish out of the relegation fight. Barrow will spend big as they are already showing, Haven will have money to spend with finishing in the play offs and losing their best player. We have probably been promoted a year ahead of schedule so it will be good if we can fend others off and add to what we have in place. I'm sure they will get it right though.

Bearman Posted October 14, 2021 Author Share Posted October 14, 2021 31 minutes ago, Neutralfan7 said: Rumors are Barrow are throwing money around left right and centre at players. Barrow have been building up a war chest for a couple of years. They have been proactive in finding ways of getting in money that is sustainable. Steve Neale has made no secret that the club would not spend money it doesn't have. Be assured that any money they have thrown is money they have to spend. One thing is certain is that the players that got a club promoted are not necessarily the players to save off relegation.

Doesn’t always work though. With the players they brought in last year they should have walked league 1 but in the end were lucky to do it. Hopefully fighting for the holy grail of a top end of the table finish doesn’t come back to bite clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you there mate. Fitzy has had an incredible season playing 80 mins most weeks. He’s looked really good the couple of times he’s played second row, really hope we can keep him.

In all seriousness though I'm surprised by that, had a helluva season and thought they'd get the reward. If its true Barrow are doubling their wage bill they should get a good team together. But as has been said, they should have walked the league last season. Some at work aren't keen on Cresta so I suppose the pressure will be on. Can't wait already!

Don't know what else you could want. Size if I'm honest. As someone said we already got as good local players in that mould plus if I remember rightly he was a type of forward who turns his back into the tackle and I think you need more direct running forwards in the championship.
