The positives? Three points, Danny Rose, Jake Eastwood and Donovan Wilson.

The rest? Move on to Saturday.

Got away with one there.

Football eh? Barrow were the better side in the first half and totally dominant in the second. We seemed to be defending from the 46th minute onwards and barely saw the whites of Farman's eyes, and yet we come away with the 3 points, despite missing a penalty.

What we did do, penalty apart, was take 2 of the few chances that came along, which were both smart finishes, and shows the value of having half decent strikers in the team.

The defence looked all at sea for large parts, and the ball was just getting whacked or headed anywhere and coming straight back. No one seemingly with the nous to put their foot on it and try to play out. Barrow seemed to manage passing to their own players though, and once again, a massive hole appeared down the centre, and a player strolls through unmarked to slot the ball past our keeper. Then it was all hands to the pump and I don't know how we managed to hold on, but we did.

Thought Andrews had a very promising full debut and was instrumental in the winning goal. Holohan worked his socks off and Wilson showed once again that given the chances, he can deliver.

Bit hit and miss from the others, and Waterfall seems to unbalance the defence, but we showed grit and got the job done.

Welcome 3 points.

Not sure how you cant give credit to Andrews and Holohan?

It was a painful watch but 3 points, thats all I wanted tonight.

We won which is very welcome news.

But, and it is a big But, what the hell are we trying to do? Anybody got any ideas? We are absolutely clueless and as slow and ponderous than I have seen in many a season.

Barrow moved the ball with purpose,  moved into space and half the time it was just a rear guard action to keep them out.

Hurst has managed to turn better technical into a shambles.

We have absolutely no urgency in anything we do, as personified by the casual penalty and the half hearted effort to put the rebound in.

I'm hoping a couple of scruffy wins might give us a bit of confidence but we are absolutely dire.

Holohan lost possession way too easily tonight, Andrews was decent and was our best midfielder.

Boredom for most parts, anxiety for a majority of the rest and just a small pinch of enjoyment.
Andrews I thought played well and would be my m.o.m but Rogers close behind.
Will take the points but pretty fortunate to get them overall.

Thought Andrews was MOM - first half in particular he gave us drive oomph.

But Barrow will wonder how they've come away with nothing. Pace, power, energy...everything we weren't; today.

He won possession lots of times and stopped quite a few breaks.

Brazil (sorry Barrow) ripped us open repeatedly but our genius manager saved the day with another substitution producing an immediate goal
