BARROW V Tranmere match thread

[Matty]

Danny Rowe having a shocker. Never seen him do anything half decent. Hes shite

And again !!!!!

To be fair he was pretty poor and when he came off for the much quicker and terrier-like Wright it swung the game in our favour.

Should have answered your phone Mr Casson!

Nice and positive again......VENDETTA

Constructive critisism. PINEAPPLES

After Shrek giving it the ears, J Harris, horrible player and Mcnulty the big I am! Hahaha ... enjoy your fish and chips on the bus home lads

Great game of football tonight.
Great goal by Cookie, but right down the middle. Keeper maybe.....have to see it again.
Cookie great 1st half but apart from a header never had a touch second half.
Beeley with a great captains performance, just pipped ARH for MOM for me tonight. (Yep I just said that)
Why can't we play like that against the poorer teams.....
Rowe with a knee injury and Hannah with a hamstring problem means we will be down to the bare bones Saturday....
Well done all, deserved victory against a decent side.
Some poor discipline by Tranmere when losing, No 8 should of gone.....

[SKIPPER]

Magnificent result. Can't have been the only one who expected a tonking when I saw the line-up but glad to have been proved wrong.

Danny Rowe picking up a knock was the best thing to happen to us, Akil Wright gave us a lot more power in there and swung the midfield battle back in our favour

[Smoggie]

Great 3 points, tranmere auto promotion in tatters - will go to bed happy tonight up the blues

[Matty]

First of many for the big lad.

Think i have wrecked my vocal chords but well worth it 2 subs changed game, once tranmere started trying to bully us it backfired big time wound the players up and the crowd.
second half we bossed it what about harvey`s miss!

thought moussa was immense but hard to fault anybody but where are all the so called fans?

Agree that the crowd was disappointing. The core 1,000 were there, but the fickle few hundred were probably driven away by what's been on display recently.

Terrible that Cook isn't he. Average conference north player.

For us, id say so. Looks like he's improved for Tranmere. the first goal, he never did that for us! His second chance in the first half was more like him, [SwearFilter] about and inviting players to tackle him when he had an easy chance. Typical cooky

[Jonty]

Sitting there at half time thinking this lot are a step above (and they were- wonderful strike by Cook) wondering where the next goal was going to come from and you have to say the substitutions made all the difference. The whole dynamic of the game changed on those two substitutions.

Brilliant second half performance. Shows what we can do when we put a bit of a squeeze on teams and don't let them settle into any pattern. We chased down everything second half. Can't compare this game to last Sat v Sutton, because Tranmere came and tried to win a football match.

It was a good game and for once we didn't concede in injury time!

[spirit of 1990]

I thought we did ok first half, they definitely weren't much better than us, Cookies goal did look rather good from where we were stood [SwearFilter] [SwearFilter]!!.
Second half was again pretty even with Jordan getting more and more out of their players in front of the pop side, the writing was on the wall there.
I honestly thought the ref was going to disallow our first....Effiong will never score an easier goal but he was in the right place at the right time.
As London Blue mentions, Jordan's run and his following shot had goal wrote all over it from the second it left his boot.

What a horrible team they turned into after we went in front, foul after foul and even though I thought the ref was generally ok he could have very easily sent one of their players off...and dished out a few more yellows.

MOTM....could've gone to a few really, Moussa won everything and never stopped battling, you could see when he walked to the fans at the end what that meant to him. Beeley, another player who very rarely lets himself down, reminds me of Chilts, doesn't matter if things weren't going for him he'd never disappear - same as Beels. But my MOTM has to go to ARH, never stopped running & chasing all night, some great passes and unlucky not to score....even though the pass might've been the better option.

Terrible attendance, those that stayed away missed one of them special Tuesday night games that happen every so often at HS.

[Renfrew Refugee]

ARH probably would of got the man of the match if he had missed the whale lying on the goal line

[Jonty]

Really thought that was going to come back and haunt us, great chance to go 3-1 up and fluffed his lines, but great build up. He played out of his skin second half though and mops up everything.
