So, he signed on weekly terms last season, so basically he was paid for months to do nothing but get himself fit, with the benefit of professional trainers/coaches and he didn't manage it.
What does fit in this context mean? Is it just a question of building speed/stamina/getting to a his fighting weight, or is there an underlying injury?
Taylor obviously believes Borrowdale could be brilliant for us if he can sort this out but I do wonder why he's giving him so long.
If it's just about physical fitness surely he's had a schedule provided by our trainers and if he followed it would be fit now? If he's been given this opportunity and he's not doing as he's asked I'd question whether fitness is the only problem. What do we know about him as a person?

We know he was signed up with Margate and Carrick Rangers yet didnt play a single game, only managed 5 games with Tonbridge Angels also. Does seem very odd.

Sounds like there's more to than meets the eye for sure?, but he must be half decent if Taylor is still giving him chances?,does make you wonder if there is a non curable injury situation,or maybe issues upstairs?....Anyway as far as defenders are concerned beggars cant be choosers!!

I would like to know what is really behind this. Surely somebody who wants to play football would make damn sure he is super fit when looking for a club.

There is a majot difference in fitness training in terms of trying to get fit mid season and a proper pre season.
And wasn't Barrowdale on a pay-as-you-play?

We've got nothing to lose by him training with us

It may be a bit "tongue in cheek" but I saw on another board the suggestion that he had maybe gone onto Herbalife. When you think about it ,several players (amongst them Davies and Danny spiller) have been promoting it on Twitter and he may have believed what they say about it.

Just hope hess that we actually see him play and not just training then. Read some older stuff about him and he was well regarded in his past life..

Not sure where you read that, i have just spent 30 mins or so looking at old comments and it does not read well, from QPR, Coventry fans ect..... he can't head, no pace, no positional sense, is ok going forward but a liability in defense and has always struggled with fitness going as far back as 2009, not great ehh.
