Will the real London Skolars please stand up. Are you the team trashed in their opening two league fixtures versus Doncaster and Rochdale or the team that had fine wins versus Sheffield and Celtic in the cup?
Well I must admit I'm not totally sure and it could well fall somewhere between the two. The handicap here though suggests that the last two big defeats have only been used to set the line. Skolars are better than that. Many decent judges had them down as play-off contenders this season and it's a view I shared so I'm not going to let two poor results get in the way of my overall assessment of their ability.
Barrow will be title contenders and play-off certainties but in their opening two games they have switched off a little when their games have been won and are not quite firing on all cylinders. Yes, they are capable of a big score but just as likely they will grind out a result here. My mark was in the 18-20pt range. Barrow will be more than happy to come away with the 3pts.
