Re: Barrow v Eastleigh match thread

Gregg Blundell had a nasty injury when he was shoved into the wall by the thug that was James Jennings, which ended up with Dave Baylis grabbing him by the throat at the end of the game. I’m sure he ended up in hospital although no long lasting injuries. Then of course there was Jacob Blyth in the f...

Re: Barrow v Eastleigh match thread

There just isn’t the same interest in lower and non league football anymore I don’t think. In the old unibond days we got by far the highest crowds in the league which were good for the level we were at, but I can think of many who no longer attend for various reasons. Even when the team was more su...

Re: Barrow v Eastleigh match thread

A little Disappointing to lose a late goal But was a scrappy game what I saw of it, not a lot of chances and maybe a point is fair. Eastleigh defended well and kept going. It’s another point, another match unbeaten, and at the beginning 4 points from a Tuesday and Saturday you’d probably have taken ...

Is anyone else struggling to get the game on DAZN? Boreham wood and some other games are working fine

Just today it seems on loan from Stoke and straight in! Another big lad 6’3 defender so I’m assuming Ademi and Digie aren’t going to be back quickly…

Re: Sebastian Thompson

Good news he's been a revelation really and proved a few people wrong. Perhaps he's finally living up to his potential now after drifting around a few clubs having been on the books of some bigger ones when he was younger. He can shoot, dribble, cross and take on a man with a bit of trickery, can pl...

Re: Our best manager/managers

Also though a big mention to Rob Kelly, might only have been caretaker manager but without him we'd have gone down after that first season back in the EFL and who knows then what would've happened. He took a team with some very limited players, loan players and one lacking in belief to fight and I ...

Re: Eastleigh today

Will be a tough game again especially with a couple doubtful with injury although at least Kalambayi is back. Alimi-Adetoro is one of the doubtful ones and Digie again. I'd expect to see Cameron start and Thompson rather than Reid and Walker, probably Ward too and Lane will be unlucky if he doesn't ...

Re: Earing

He played an amount of games that triggered a contract extension apparently. And has hardly featured since. Pete Wild on JE; This week saw Jack Earing return to Barrow after an injury-hit short loan spell, while goalkeeper Max Thompson has left after his one-month deal was up. It leaves Pools short...

Re: Our best manager/managers

Whoever tries to manage Barrow it's always a difficult job ,first it's getting players who want / willing to travel, then it's down to budgets, we've only a small fan base and without rich owners or a lucrative sponsorship deal we'll always be up against it, but somehow we do get gems, like Adam Mu...

Re: Earing

Another baffling decision to award him Earing a new contract late last season after he had a few injury problems and hardly stood out when he did play. Another Andy Whing disaster signing that we're still paying for. MJ Williams might there be a place for him at centre half with injuries as things s...

Re: Our best manager/managers

A worthy mention to Kenny Lowe, he came in when there was no team and very nearly no club, we started a few weeks into the season as the Unibond league and Duncan Bayley didn't want to accept us and were playing catch up. As others have said he had a solid first season which wasn't even a full one, ...

Re: Halifax Town v Barrow match thread

I’d have been happy with a point last night before the game let alone at 2 down. Not the first time we’ve come back and scored so late in the game so says a lot about the fitness and character.last season we were on the wrong end of comebacks like that. First half by all accounts was as poor as Soli...

Re: Barrow v Forestgreen Rovers match thread

Putting what happened from 3pm from a footballing perspective aside, Murray's post match was worrying. He pulled at his nose a a good couple of times. Expect us to slide down the table. What a stupid comment.What on earth do you base that supposition on.Will you eat humble pie if we beat Halifax on...

Re: Scott Smith

Good luck to him in his recovery it used to end players careers an injury like this, nowadays not so much I’m sure he’ll bounce back. You can question his quality on the ball at times and his yellow card count which is probably his only consistency, but unlike a few others couldn’t question his comm...
