What changes is Murray bringing to Barrow?
Murray has implemented strict standards and effort levels at the club. He admits he was shocked by some of the performances last season and believes the team must improve to regain the fans' trust. The manager emphasizes the importance of hard work and passion, noting that supporters will accept losses if they see maximum effort.
Why is the National League so challenging?
