Peter Winthorpe Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 What is a good result for us in this tournament We have to be realistic and accept we are playing 2 now established Championship teams, slbeit we have home advantage. We have a young and still inexperienced squad with a few exceptions. Is it stronger than last year? We have brought in quality in Sammut, Eccleston and Taylor, but don't have Barnes unfortunately. I am pleased we have retained Lightowler, Marwood, Walker, Burns and Bradley and our core squad players Don't know much about the younger signings and some may turn out to be very good. So if these 2 games help us blend a 17 to face Oldham I will be happy with that. UTT 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Churchill Drivers Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 See some Barrow fans are claiming on their forum that they have such a good squad this season that they will easily wipe the floor with other Cumbrian teams this season. Trust Town put up a good show as Barrow have won all 4 of their pre season games but all have been at home to lower league teams - their first venture out of Barrow will be on Sunday.

IanMac Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 I see there’s no Matty in the squad on the RFL page, hopefully nothing serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrow will be just like our west cumbrian neighbours this season. Both in a season long relegation scrap AGAIN. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havenhater Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 I believe haven will be mid table safe and have recruited quite a few unknowns but look the part. Barrow not like other seasons with there recruitment, however smith signing is massive for directing the team around the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I'm not saying that both will be flying high, but if they can stay injury free then I think Haven and Barrow will be comfortably safe from relegation. Like I say though, lack of squad depth is the key factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recruitment last season was good on paper but in reality was pretty poor. We’ve signed plenty of good forwards in Smith, Greenwood, Silva, Tom Walker etc. but I think we’re lacking a bit in the backs. I don’t think it’s arrogance with the Barrow fans, if we have aspirations to be a decent Championship team then we should win games against League One opposition.

At the talks with RFL last season about merging - Ch teams didn't want to - so the other proposal [nothing official] was all leagues of 12 [12,12,11] for now So a bigger relegation scrap?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmac Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 If that is the case I would be stunned if at least 1 of the Cumbrian teams were not to be relegated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLDB Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 As a Barrow fan I definitely don’t think the Cumbrian derbys will be easy at all. On paper our squad looks quite strong but you don’t play on paper! Hopefully all 3 teams have successful seasons. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
