Barrow v Wrexham match thread

[Matty]

Enjoyable game until...........

Winger Rowe is having his best spell since joining us, think he took a knock towards the end though so hope he's ok for Saturday.
Defence looks so much more composed with Sodje in it, really hope we can keep him longer. I think they took advantage of Hunter not being a natural RB as they seemed to get a fair amount of joy down that side.
I'm disagreeing with Ste a bit here as I thought we put a fair amount of decent crosses into the penalty area & at least we tried shooting from outside the box tonight, alright, it didn't work out but how many times do we complain that the players don't shoot from distance?
Not that it's any consolation but I thought that was probably the best refereeing display of the season at HS.

It's a cruel, cruel game though!!

I will go with this.

[northwalian]

that will do

cheers boys

ooh Kevin Thornton

Enjoy losing in the playoffs after losing the league to Grimsby

No team ever wins at holker street and goes on to win promotion, remember that

ha

Our place in L2 next season is far from certain - this year will go right down to the wire.

We have signed some reinforcements - Adebola, Artell so you never know.

take it easy

Nice to have the resources to be able to do that! still hope your season crumbles around you.

The trouble is we cant alter anything because of no options on the bench two strikers is not enough we need at least one more striker so at least we can change it running out of games!

Clapped the fellas off tonight, I thought they did everything but score.

They made the league leaders look poor, putting them under constant pressure when they were on the ball.

Just need to turn performances into points.

A few positives to take from tonight, only 1 negetive, no points.

[1AFC]

Also for the first time in a long time, I can't think of anybody that had a poor game.

A couple of negatives could be Danny L Rowe, likes to take an extra touch and maybe dawdle on the ball before releasing, and majority of Sodje's clears were straight to them, but other than that a very good performance. :flag:

[Messy]

Watched tonight stood next to three Wrexham lads.They were very humble,they couldn't believe we didn't win,couldn't believe where we are in the league and couldn't believe only 800 bother their arse to turn up.Wished them good luck for the rest of the season,walked out of Holker Street and got dogs abuse from some 70 year old welsh cow! Talk about no class,hope to [SwearFilter] they don't go up so we can shit on em next year cos WE'RE STAYING UP

[ant]

Very unlucky tonight.Sucker punch yes but we had a few chances and as usual failed to convert them.Same story all season.cant fault the lads again tonight.really good effort and heads held high.top and bottom of league will go all the way to last game imo.att very poor.

[HenneysKnee]

Frustrating again tonight, in spells we played some of the best football I've seen us play all season without ever really creating clear goalscoring chances. L Rowe at times just takes too many touches when a simple pass is on to keep the move flowing and we miss Boyes in the box (Harvey I think in particular played one fantastic low cross in and there was no-one near the six yard box) Skelton had a great game, first half in particular and Sodje has done very well since joining us, would be a huge boost if we can extend his loan?
However as well as we played and as hard as we worked (and we did both very well!) there comes a point when we have to start winning games, if we play like that on Saturday we should get a result but will we or can we only raise our game against the top teams?

[Barrowabc]

Absolutely gutted.

Still, sounds like a good, positive performance from the lads and hopefully we can push on with similar performances for the rest of the season, starting with Tamworth on Saturday. If we can do that, we will have a great chance of being in this league next season. Looking forward to the views of those who were at the game.

Hopefully Adam Boyes will be back for Saturday, we can put away a chance or two and we can push on to safety!

:flag:

adam boyes is defo back for sat ! Had a real crack with him in xbar at half time top top man nowt but respect for him and even more so after talking to him. Only little hands tho which didn't expect up the boro and he'll help us beat the drop. But as I told him I fear it'll be his last year with us and he'll move up to championship level which would be fair play to him. Don't know if he'll read these posts but good luck my friend if you do :flag:

Hope you haven't talked him into leaving?

[Barrowabc]

Doubt it he seemed to feel same way about club as we do ! But he'll want to end up on good money and I hope he dose as he's class and a gent

Played well, but if were playing well and not beating teams with ten men then we should be worried. We didnt really create anything. Alot of hot air.

Frustrates me about how we are unable to change things until were losing, they go down to 10 men and our tactics dont change at all, subs never warm up, Evil came on and literally stood up from the bench, threw two coats on the floor and walked on, hardly a [SwearFilter] warm up. Danny Winger Rowe wanted to come off at one point and we took Owen off!
Was impressed with striker Rowe, Ray Harvs and Baker but was dissapointed with our inability to create clear chances.

If we dont win on saturday i reckon were gone. Were not picking up vital points and we keep bigging up 'the next game'. How about win the last one.

We were on top of them before the sending off, and just after the sending off, so no need to change a 'winning' team.

Do you not remember what happened last week? IMO, he did right. But let me guess Bayles tactics were all wrong?!?

They sucker punched us, didnt play us, were hardly in our half? Don't sit there and say the tactics were wrong, when we massively outplayed the league leaders.
