Marked for Daniel Scott

Boardroom

Steven Jackson is out at Barrow AFC

Four paragraphs on the club website, none of them about football. The board thanked him, wished him well, and had the search under way before the page went up.

Match

No mercy from Barrow AFC

Tranmere Rovers will want this one forgotten quickly: 5‑2, every duel lost, and a long ride home. Barrow AFC were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.

Match

Barrow AFC win it in stoppage time

The board had gone up, the arguing had started, and then the ball was in the net in the 93th minute. Shrewsbury Town will replay every second of the added time for a week.

Player ratings

A brace, and Admir Bristrić takes the afternoon — 8.91

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Admir Bristrić provided it, and the 8.91 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Squad

Kawê takes the match ball home

3 goals in one afternoon from one man. The other players were also present, a witness confirmed.

Squad

19 days out for Daniel Scott after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Barrow AFC will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Boardroom

Joshua Allen takes charge at Barrow AFC

“Somebody has to pick the team on Saturday, and this week that is me.” An interim appointment with no promises attached, which is how most of them start.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Finley Taylor

There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

The dugout

Braidy Connell-Webster keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Barrow AFC may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

The dugout

Tom Barkhuizen: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Barrow AFC have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Player ratings

Both of them Admir Bristrić's — 8.96

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.96, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Squad

27 days out for Daniel Scott after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Barrow AFC will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Transfer targets

Fee done, terms next for James Shillinglaw

Barrow AFC and Bolton Wanderers have settled on $200.0K. The rest belongs to the player and his agent, and a supporter who has watched one of these before knows not to buy the shirt yet.

Market

Michel Boni asks to leave Barrow AFC

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Transfer targets

An offer of $980.0K for Rio Patterson-Powell

Barrow AFC have gone to Wycombe Wanderers with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Squad

Sidnei Tavares falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Souza

Barrow AFC asked and Tottenham said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Charlie McCann

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.
