Is it behind closed doors? No mention in that article but, apparently, we're going to "struggle to survive a second season" in League 2 according to this well-informed observer.

Interesting to read about Zanzala`s injury , we need to replace quigley ( for situations like these) because James doesn`t inspire any sort of confidence at League 2 level effort 100% but it requires a bit more than that !

That's a huge amount of analysis for a friendly.

Regarding Zanzala's injury
I would like to know if the club has a replacement lined up for Zanzala if he is going to be out long term.
I don,t want it to be like last season when we signed a striker who got injured in training and then never played for the club while being on the books.
Events like this could really affect the performance of the team the season having lost Scott Quigley.
We may have made a bit of money selling him,but it won,t do us any good if we don,t have a decent striker up front.

Zanzala was featured in the video and pictures from the training camp in Scotland

All this article has done is state about him coming off v Holker after picking up a slight knock and put 2 and 2 together to make 100

Thank you for clearing that up Adam.Can you tell me if there is going to any commentary from the Birmingham match via Radio Cumbria?

[Adam29]

No, it’s a behind closed doors game at Birmingham’s training ground

[Methuselah]

A pity really as I didn,t get chance to go to the HOB match and would have loved a commentary.Roll on Saturday against Bolton.Hoping for a big crowd.

Thought zanzala had just picked up a knock?

So who is our well informed observer?

[Methuselah]

Could it because the well informed observer hasn,t really seen this Barrow team play and is making his assessment based on the results before Christmas when we had a vastly different team to the one we have got now.

[Adam29]

I’d take this article with a pinch of salt
He’s written it as if it’s the 3rd round of the FA Cup

It’s a pre season friendly that’s being played at Birmingham’s training ground (another correction to the article who believes we are playing at st Andrews)

Luke james will get loaned out not good enough tries very hard and gives it his all but league 2 is not his level and its not from the want off trying. If you do stay son prove us all wrong.
