Incidentally, would Barrow have been any higher with Evatt in charge given that Rooney has gone and players like Quigley, Platt and Brough from last years squad missing the games they have?
Possibly, but not probably.
That is quite frankly a ridiculous statement. I am extremely confident that we would be in a better position in the table now had Evatt still been in charge.

So he should be. That's part of the job of being a football manager.

Dunny’s New, Backroom staff are New, Half the players are New, L2 is New to us, An elevated expectancy from our fan base is New, Half the bluudy ground is New, Half the club staff are New....
Let’s play 10/12 league games before we crucify the guy shall we.

I didn't expect it to be a cake walk but 3 points out of 15 ?

We will never know for certain but I would be very confident had evatt stayed in charge with virtually the same squad and the momentu carried over from last season that we would currently be sitting on more than 3 points
Momentum went when last season ended prematurely and this season started late with no fans.
As you say we shall never know and therefore rather pointless to speculate.

Dunn now saying it's a big gap between L2 and the National League, [SwearFilter] it is. Look at how most promoted sides do.
Harrogate don't seem to be finding the big gap a big problem
Another win tonight away at Bradford

Not so sure. I think we may have been fortunate to go up the way we did. We were due to play Harrogate away and the way they were playing I think we would have lost and we might have found ourselves in the play-offs, and perhaps still in the Nataional League!

Even if we did get beat by Harrogate most of the teams up and around the play-offs also had to play each other, obviously other teams would’ve been dropping points as well.

Hmmm would have had the same pool off injured players was nt James an Evatt player as well. Bolton aint doing great i dont think the Evatt formula off football works well in league 2 imo

If Evatt had stayed, he'd currently be negotiating terms on the Salford job.

His knickers would have been up and down so many times over the break...
