AND could have been transfer listed if not wanted. They must be thought to be getting back to fitness and just as importantly, want to play for Barrow

I can’t see Burns coming back. He didn’t seem happy at Barrow for whatever reason.

Shame big andrews gone was a solid target man and made an impact in his short time at the club. Quite surprised by Burns , Sea and James do we have time to allow players to develop. I think with how poor we where we need immediate quick fixes.
All opinions expressed are my own , not here to cause kick off just enact debate.

Burns and James signed 2 year deals so it's not that much of a surprise

If we keep dixon and Barry we've got a decent squad there going into the new season.

Andrew came in and did the job he was asked of so thank him and move on.

Can't believe we've let Donohue go.

Yup. Him and Boaby Burns were key to us staying up.

Donohue our worst-ever signing? Presumably on big wages, and not sure I've ever seen a Barrow player play quite as badly as that game against Morecambe.

Sounds like a separate thread. Could be a long one.

I would have like Josh Kay to stay. Yes, he's a bit hot-headed and not the most consistent...but I liked what he could bring to the team as an impact player.

He was on loan from Burton
Don't let the old man in.

What makes it a decent squad?
It's no better than last season's at the moment which was far from decent as the league position proves!
If, we lose Dixon and Barry, which would not be a surprise, then it will be worse than last season.
Whether it's a decent squad or not will depend on how many good players are signed.

The table doesn't lie, we know that, but any manager coming in must surely be happy with what we already have on the books, I think that is the point being made.

Shipped out the dross and the deadwood and left with a core of players to add to and shape.
