We have a relatively new bunch of referees at that level, as most of the refs who were officiating at Championship level a year or two ago  (the two Moores, Jack Smith, Chris Kendall, Tom Grant, Scott

I think that Barrow might be a tricky match for Fev. Decent team on their day.

I nearly went for a narrow Barrow win, they are such a strange team this season but they have had some decent results at home. End of the day Fev go up there in right frame of mind it should be a comfortable win for them.

They were exactly my thoughts. If Fev roll them over easily, I think that it shows an improvement from our early season form.

I think it’s down to Fev’s defensive performance if they can keep Barrow to 2 scores or less they should win, anymore could be squeaky bum time

Fev have been fairly consistent this season and the variable tends to how well the opposition stand up to them. Barrow's squad last week had an unfamiliar look with (I think) 3 Wigan loanees and a couple more players I don't know much about, they have been doing it tough with injuries but they were drawing with Batley 2 minutes from time a fortnight ago and the week before were on top of Halifax until Sammut got sent off.

I suspect Fev will be too strong up the middle and wear Barrow down, but you just don't know what to expect from the opposition week to week in this league.

Surprised by the number predicting a York home win against the Eagles ....... not saying it's not a possibility, but as a Knights fan, I see this as too close to call !

Depends which Sheffield side turns up. You'll be hoping for the one that played in the first half of the Challenge Cup game at York. I'm hoping for the one that nilled Batley.
