Barrow AFC's current squad profile shows a balanced group facing a challenging start to the new National League season. Data from Transfermarkt, published this week, outlines the composition of the 23-man group playing at the SO Legal Stadium.
What does the Barrow AFC squad look like?
The squad size of 23 provides manager Pete Wild with a core group to work with. The average age of 26.9 suggests a blend of experience and players in their prime years. Five members of the squad are classified as foreigners, making up 21.7 percent of the total. None of the current Barrow AFC players are active with a senior national team. The club's current transfer record is balanced, showing no net profit or loss on player trading.
How has the season begun for Barrow?
The early stages of the campaign have proven difficult. Barrow currently sit 20th in the National League table with just one point from their opening three matches. Their record stands at zero wins, one draw, and two losses, with a recent form guide reading DLL. In those games, they have scored three goals but conceded six, resulting in a minus-three goal difference. This leaves them nine points adrift of early leaders Boreham Wood.

What is the immediate challenge ahead?
The next opportunity to turn things around comes quickly. Barrow travel to face Kidderminster Harriers on Sunday, August 31st. Kidderminster are positioned 15th in the table, making this a key fixture for both sides looking to climb away from the lower reaches. The full schedule of upcoming matches is available on our fixtures page. Securing a positive result on the road would provide a vital boost in confidence and points.
Where does the squad need to improve?
Addressing the defensive record will be a priority. Conceding six goals in three games is a rate that makes accumulating points difficult. The attacking output of three goals shows there is a foundation to build upon, but tightening up at the back is essential. The squad's composition, with its mix of domestic and foreign talent, has the potential for greater cohesion as the season progresses.

The focus now shifts entirely to preparation for the Kidderminster fixture. With the season still in its infancy, there is ample time for Barrow to correct their course. The data from Transfermarkt provides a snapshot of the tools at the manager's disposal, and the early league table shows the size of the task. Turning performances into points is the immediate objective for this group.
