Barrow V Solihull Moors Match Thread

[Moribund]

On a side note, the stewards on the popular side were turning away unaccompanied teenagers, because of their antics on Tuesday night...

All of them?

Who's saying that?

Special mention to Dixon for that save he pulled off at 2-1, came through a crowd of players and that proved to be a match winning save. He's come in for a lot of grief so credit the guy when he pulls that sort of save off. Quality reaction save well done.

Not allowed to give him credit, that's what he's there for according to some. But yes, fantastic save

You said unaccompanied teenagers, I was just wondering if it was all of them or just a certain few or...?

[HenneysKnee]

We should have been 4v0 up before they scored out of nothing which completely changed the game, fantastic match winning save from Dixon. Type of game we definitely wouldn't have won once over, good mentality

[barrowfan]

A game that could have gone either way. We just seemed to ease off and allow them far too much space whereas if our man had the ball he was closed down by three of their players. Too much long ball and head tennis going on too.

In his interview on RC Paul Cox described it as a world class save.

Two good chances early second half to go three up and before you know it they are back in it and looking most likely to score again playing some good stuff. Some really shaky moments second half and Dixon pulled off a great save at 2-1. Just happy to get the three points today as all teams around us picking up wins.

Okay, well no, I don't think it was all of them, but definitely a few early on (around 2.40pm), who then got in via a turnstile on the other side of the ground. Maybe that particular steward had just taken it upon himself to ban teenagers?

[Lancaster Branch]

You would hope not.

That looked so comfortable after twenty minutes, they never looked like scoring. We came out second half and created four or five really good chances in the first five minutes.......then it happened! One goal and they were at us and we were on the back foot, it really was desperation stuff at times. As happens in situations like this, everything seemed to drop for the opposing team and we simply didn't look like the team we had been up till fifty minutes.
It was a long 35-40 minutes from then on, too long. It seemed like every attack they had from then on (and it was a lot) would give them a goal.
Over the moon for Moussa getting his long awaited goal.....hopefully the floodgates have now opened. Jordan (again) looked more menacing again it the second half. Young Ryan seemed to drift out of the game in the second half after looking very good in the first half, coincidence with our second 45 performance?
Worrying forty minutes but just glad we came out of it with the points.

We just haven't got that killer instinct, should have finished them at 2-0

Problems still come from center of park, only area we look weak.
Happy with win but we still need that control of game in middle.

Agree with that Al, that's what I was sort of suggesting in my post about Ryan drifting out of the game the second 45 (not blaming just him) but as soon as he seemed to go off the boil we seemed to lose our way. Turnbull would've been the ideal replacement for one of the midfielders if he'd have been fit.

[Jonty]

Akil Wright looked good when he came on and would like to see him get more time but whilst this team remains unbeaten I can't see him changing too many things in the starting 11, unless injuries / suspensions force it.

[russell_anderson]

Turnbull is a bad miss in midfield IMO but it seems as though he's going to be a player who misses as many games with injury as he plays.

Where's Panayiotou and Cockerline? I know Harry's been away playing in the World Cup qualifiers but hasn't he been back in the U.K. for a week?
