For all things Barrow AFC. Keep discussions civil and fair, we're all Barrow aren't we!

Well, IMO Wild would be absolutely crackers not to at least consider Senior, probably United's most improved player over the last few games. Had a massive hand in the goal at Wembley and virtually created the first goal against Bradford in the semis, he's young and hungry. For me it was an absolutely baffling decision by Simmo to let him go.
Unfortunately for Dev, he's had a lot of injuries and is getting towards the twilight of his career, when fit though is still a seriously good player.
[SwearFilter] is probably the only other one who maybe worth a look at, looked decent the season before last, however picked up a serious injury before the season started and hasn't kicked a ball all season. Although I believe he is now fit and raring to go.

Danny Agyei looks like he’ll be available. 16 goals for crew this season.

Wouldnt too surprised if Devitt retired or turned up at Chorley or somewhere around here.

We were the lowest goalscorers in the top 10 last season by some way (47) and relied heavily on Gordon’s (15) and Waters (9) combined contributing over half of our goals. Then have to go all the way through to Whitfield (5) and Kay (4) who were way down the list of overall league 2 goalscorers.
Of those 4 only Whitfield is contracted to be here next season.
If we are going to improve or even consolidate a mid table we need to bring in players who can bring us goals from other areas of the pitch and not be overly reliant on the front players.
Looking at the retained list - not many goals came from that list of players.

Couple of forums suggesting Tyler Smith might be leaving Hull and heading back to League 2. Did well in his loan spell with us but more Waters than Bennett in stature.

Stockport released Chris Hussey and Ryan Johnson. Suspect they’d be out of our price range but either would be good defensive signings
