You're right of course Cashy........but I'm just left thinking video option on iFollow with all its problems is better than listening on the radio.......match coverage of Stanley on the Radio Lancs has always been poor, other local teams seemed always to get more matches than we did.......And the commentary with Dan and Sean provides some real insights into the club, manager and players.....also I can have a drink or two while watching the game.....

Barrow sign Courtney Baker-Richardson if Dunny can keep him fit and on the pitch could have a great signing at that level their owner must still be pushing money in.

So that would make 32 ..........
Smaller squad ?
That's clearly gone out of the window then.
Just dont get how we can have so many midfielders and leave the squad exposed re keeper.
What happened to the nailed on Chelsea lad ?

I have said before though how many are under 20 quite a few 5 of top of my head then 5 loannees that brings us down to 20 I think with players like Ogle, Mohammed, Scully with limited experience so not a lot of money being paid out there I won't think leaving hopefully some for a couple of "seasoned" players.

Do you think we get loanees free ?

Don't be silly but I don't profess to know but I would Hazard a guess that collectively we are contributing less for all 5 young loannees than we contributed to Baker-Richardson I'll fated loan spell last season as it was obvious Swansea and himself wanted a parting of the ways, like I said the brief glimpses we had of him you could tell he had something about him and Barrow have dipped their toe in the water and took a risk hope it works because I personally know Dunny quite well and think he's got a good one in.

and out of that number how many could seriously be classed as first team starters or substitutes. take away the trophy games even last season how many actually never kicked a ball in anger for the first team. a fair few i imagine.
