Re: Barrow v Eastleigh match thread
Disappointing result against a team with only 1 win in their last 6 games. However, their isn't much between any of the teams in this league other than Boreham Wood so we've had a brilliant run of wins. Noticed that only 2 teams have conceded less goals but 8 have scored more than us so it's clear w...

Re: Halifax Town v Barrow match thread
This was a win for the manager. Saw that the first half wasn't good enough and made changes at half-time to change things. I haven't seen him mentioned on here but Ward was very good. As soon as he came on we started passing the ball on the ground instead of hoofing it up in the air and he is defini...

Re: Our best manager/managers
Surely Don McEvoy and Colin Appleton should be on the list of Barrow’s greatest managers and John Commins Barrow boss during the 1931/ 32 season when we finished 5th in Third Division North. Got to be. The 2 managers during the time of easily the best Barrow team of my lifetime. Outside of those 2,...

Re: Away to Gillingham FA Cup
I saw all 4 matches mentioned although I was only 9 years old for the Swansea match. I remember I was upset because my parents went to the replay but I wasn't allowed to go because of school and was left with family friends. Sadly don't remember too much about the game. Main memory of the Wolves gam...

Re: Barrow v Gloucester City match thread
The results really confirm just how poor the National League is this season. Only 5 NL teams won against lower league teams while 7 drew and 2 lost. Even from the 5 which won, 3 of those were only by one goal.

Re: Tamworth v Barrow match thread
Poor match largely because of those horrible plastic pitches and a windy day. However, well deserved win as we always looked the better team and took control in the second half with the wind advantage. Great spirit in this side now. I still believe that Boreham Wood will win this league by a distanc...

Gloucester 4th from bottom with 7 points from 9 matches. Only 2 points from 4 away matches.

Re: Barrow v Wealdstone match thread
Are we still worst Barrow team people have ever seen? We're not now but for the first 4 or 5 games at the start of the season we were! It's hats off to the manager for turning this team around but it's because of the players he brought in lately which have transformed the team. Still a way behind B...

Re: MJ Gone
IMO, it's because he obviously lacks pace and Murray needs players with plenty of pace for the pressing game he likes.HenneysKnee wrote: ↑Sat Oct 03, 2026 11:22 am There’s a clear difference between “being poison” and not feeling you are able to play at the tempo/style Murray wants

Re: Four on the bounce
If they play as well as they did in the last match I would expect a win.

Re: Barrow v Scunthorpe match thread
Excellent goal on the counter and how good again to see us still going for it and not sitting back attack is the best form of defence. Full credit two weeks after Solihull I thought we were in trouble, huge turnaround since then and all without our old captain… Big, strong but we’ve got the ball wi...

Re: 10 games in.
I’ve been more impressed with our signings in recent weeks than the players we originally started with. Some of these lads actually look like footballers rather than just being over physical lumps, it would’ve been a very hard watch for the rest of the season. Allen looked very impressive yesterday...

Re: Whitfield
As several have said, Whitfield is miles away from the player who we first signed. I'd be happy to see the back of every player left from last season's team. Sadly, I'd be just as happy to see the back of almost every player Murray has brought in this season as they are no better - in fact in many c...

Re: Worthing v Barrow match thread
I don't have to look hard to find anything negative with this team. It's abysmal. No skill, no pace, no passing ability. The only art many of them seem to have mastered is how to grab hold of opponents. Luckily, most of our opponents are similar which probably will save us from relegation but the c...
