Squad

Tempers go at Barrow AFC

Dan Sweeney was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

Killian Barrett is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 22 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad

Words at Barrow AFC training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ayman Benarous is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match

A bad afternoon for Barrow AFC against Swindon Town

1‑2 to Swindon Town, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

Dan Sweeney gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Market

Talks stall between Barrow AFC and Dan Sweeney

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Squad

George Pratt gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. George Pratt has just signed for Barrow AFC, and for once the answer mattered.

Squad

Danny Rose signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Danny Rose and Barrow AFC agree another 2 years.

Squad

Dan Sweeney in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Barrow AFC this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Barrow AFC training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Kyle Edwards is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Market

Talks stall between Barrow AFC and Dan Sweeney

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Market

The clock runs on Ben Whitfield's contract

36 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.

Squad

Angus MacDonald signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Angus MacDonald commits to Barrow AFC for another 2 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Barrow AFC

Brandon Powell was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Market

No place for Tyler Walker in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Tyler Walker has his answer from Barrow AFC; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

Market

Talks stall between Barrow AFC and Angus MacDonald

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Market

Nobody at Barrow AFC has picked up the phone to Tom Barkhuizen

24 months to run and not a word offered. A club that lets the calendar negotiate for it usually ends up losing to the calendar.

Squad

6 new faces, and Barrow AFC are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.
