Re: Zanzala
Didn’t we have to coax Colin Cowperthwaite out of retirement to play a couple of games in the mid/late nineties we were so short of strikersSea Dog Sam wrote: ↑Wed Nov 03, 2021 4:22 pm Apart from Sea and Zanzala, do we have any bonefide strikers? I'm not talking about attacking midfielders, wingers etc etc
Supported the club from the early 1970s and I can't remember a time when we had such a pityful strike force.

Re: Zanzala
Something is going on it appears & …If… he really wants away & I was gaffer I’d start him today under strict orders, Telling him, Right, Here’s your shop window for a move, Play your heart out and attract admirers, But if your hardly moving car the usual flopping I will haul you off after 20/30 mins if your merely ghosting around, Hopefully a fired up Zanzala scores the goals to win us the game & we snag the money to replace him, Best out of a odd situation.

Re: Zanzala
Apparently Zanzala is being paid £1800 per week.I think it is only right that Mark Cooper expects him to participate a lot more in the success of the team.
If he is upset with Mark Cooper because he was told off for not putting enough effort in it is about time he grew up otherwise his football career will only go in one direction.
Barrow as a club cannot afford to pay for players who suddenly have a hissy fit and suddenly decide they don,t want to play for a manager.It is a manager's job to tell players when they are not putting enough effort in.
I just hope I am wrong about Zanzala and that he is playing today and puts in a performance.Today is one day we need him to perform.

Re: Zanzala
Created the first and bagged one himself looked short of match fitness overall but that’s understandable, answered his recent criticism in the right manner.
Re: Zanzala
Agree, he’s looked good for a majority of the game. Still dangerous after 75 minutes so hopefully a full 90 tonight and Tuesday will serve him well for a start on Saturday

£93000 plus a year? Seems a lot to me! If that is true we should get rid ASAP as no way is he worth thatMethuselah wrote: ↑Sat Nov 06, 2021 3:34 pm Apparently Zanzala is being paid £1800 per week.I think it is only right that Mark Cooper expects him to participate a lot more in the success of the team.

Re: Zanzala
Cooper confirmed in my post match he’d had words with him during the week
Think today was the reaction

Re: Zanzala
I liked in particular "if you can earn the respect of your team mates". Very telling comment. Hope Zanzala can keep it up. He has talent and, as Cooper said, he and Gordon together could make a good partnership.
Re: Zanzala
If that is true.. wonder what's actually going out in players salary.. that's where all the money is going?Fazered wrote: ↑Sat Nov 06, 2021 8:23 pm£93000 plus a year? Seems a lot to me!

Re: Zanzala
Not everyone doubted him. Just a few. It wasn’t “all” of us. Just as it was only a few on here predicting we would get beat today. The negativity that is on this forum absolutely baffles me at timesMethuselah wrote: ↑Sat Nov 06, 2021 8:09 pm Well done Zanzala you proved us all wrong.Now go on and beat Carlisle.![]()

Re: Zanzala
Yes & the if you put the hard work in & earn the respect of your teammates comment & it’s sounds like they had a heart to heart & resolved things, Zanzala’s next few games should tell us if he’s back.
