Dreadful first half everywhere apart from defensively. Need a good rollicking from Mr Hurst at half time!

Well, not a great half from Town that, but we got away with it. Shooting towards our own fans second-half while they shoot towards some kind of 1970s trading estate office building for inspiration.

As disappointing as that was, the game is there for the taking if we can sort ourselves out.

That sounded like the first half of the Rochdale game, hopefully the same outcome

Barrow look lively as the home team should do. We need to be getting forward with a bit more conviction, long balls will end up with their players all the time and they seem first to second balls. Hopefully Hurst can sort everyone out at half time, Kahn looked rattled since giving away a penalty that shouldn't have been, needs to calm down and get focussed again.

Poor half really. Barrow have just been quicker to everything tonight, we beat one man they've closed us down with 2, stray pass Barrow are on it and picking it up, we close them down they've already moved the ball.

Our set pieces have been poor for a 2nd game on the trot and less said about our defending that led to their pen the better.

Saying that Max has been great, Efete hasn't looked too bad at LB and Smith has put in his usual performance.


I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas

The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara

I once said Gazza's IQ was less than his shirt number and he asked me: What's an IQ? - George Best

The Waterfall challenge looked like a nailed on penalty. Maybe  in the refs mind when another challenge went in
Christ, Cropper should be playing American Football - by far our most creative player  


Christ you all wanted him sacked a few months ago. 6th place finish and he's now the messiah and can do no wrong  
Update:  I think I've got this right - He was the messiah. He then wasn't. He then was again. Then it turned out he actually wasnt. He turned into one big huge messiah again. Now he's not actually the messiah we thought he was . Now I'm hoping he rises again quickly

Think we should just spend the second half lumping it into the corners and trying to win throw-ins tbh

Poor first half. Missing Glennon I think. We are a second half team though.

Max is an absolute hero.

Come on Town.

Barrow huffed and puffed and we rode our luck. It was never a pen and a brilliant save by Max kept us in it. Efete is having a good game considering he is out of position as is Waterfall. All told those 3 have played really well.

Khan seems to have an off day by his high standard but we need to do more in midfield instead of a yo yo effect. We do not seem to have put them under constant pressure, perhaps Richardson coming on and running at them will do the trick.


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time
