17/18 VNL - Barrow 2 - 2 Leyton Orient

[blue nige]

Entertaining game but why didn't Moore start with certain players who seemed wrongly positioned!
For me if clements is an attacking midfielder why is he sat in front of the defence, yes it was better effort wise but we really do need to press more at home these draws could come back to haunt us !

[Bingo]

Very entertaining game and actually thought at times we played well. Leyton Orient quite average.

Fantastic seeing all those kids at half time on the pitch and running around the pitch. Looks good for the future

[Middleton Nick]

Monitored from the hills and sounds like Hughes carried on from midweek. Well done everybody, but we need to start winning games. Pity we can't get 1800 every week even if it was cheap entry. Good turnout from Orient.

Much improved performance and an entertaining game. Unless Gomis was injured I would not have taken him off as I thought he was MOTM. Onwards and upwards

From listening on the radio the players mentioned the most were Gomis and Harrison so I was surprised when Gomis was taken off and the commentator said he was not very happy about it. The good news is that if Harrison is back to normal then Barrow can be more confident of causing teams problems as he's head and shoulders above any other striker we have and was last season as well. Hopefully, when some of the injured defenders are back we can start to win some games because draws against teams like Orient at home won't see us get very far up the league especially as Chester and Guiseley both got away draws against better teams than Orient.

Harrison played well but looked very tired for the last 15 mins. Gomis walked off on the popular side and went round to the dugout acknowledging all the fans as he went

I couldn't knock anyone today, even though as others have said we need to start winning. For the neutral (or the £10 floaters?) I don't think any of them could say it wasn't entertaining stuff. Clements showed signs of being a brain in the midfield, being in the right positions to receive and distribute without doing anything spectacular. I certainly won't say at this early stage that he's the Darren Sheridan we have needed for years but the signs are promising so we can dream on . . . . .

[burntisland]

where was dan jones today?

[Smoggie]

Out injured for 2 weeks with knee problem

[Crowie]

Recently it seems like we're playing counter attacking football. But we have no pace on the counter so by the times we're outside their box they're back in numbers. Then we start working the ball side to side and backwards. Surprised by the fact we scored 2 goals today nevermind earned a point

[SKIPPER]

One for the numerous conspiracy theorists on here. Liam Hughes castigated on a daily basis before going AWOL for several weeks. Cox and Ogden depart and he suddenly makes a surprise return to the fray before putting in two of his best performances yet in a Barrow shirt, Just saying.Personally I believe it could be because he is being played in his proper position.

[orpheus]

Decent performance. Cannot fathom how they say Harrison was offside for his goal. LO are a set of moaning average players who think they have no cause to be in this league. Great away support [290] and will prob be our biggest away support of the season for league games.
We are improving and it may not be that long before Moore can get the monkey off his back.

Personally I believe he has always been a good footballer for us, even out wide, and was just one who fell under the barrovian scapegoat trap

[spirit of 1990]

Surprised no one has mentioned the dive by their keeper.....quickly followed by the "seagulls gunna get ya" chant.

Matt Dodd, it HAS to be included in the highlights

Agreed. Best he's played for us today

[Bluebarrowman]

I will hold my hands up as I've slagged Hughes off in previous games .
Today I thought he gave his all and was a warrior in 2nd half and you can't ask more than that from any player .
Dixon was class justified his place In the team.
Harrison also class act i just don't think white is the man to play up top with him .
Would love to see a speedy player run off Harrison he would get a bag full

No wonder you dont like White
You are the same guy that didnt like Bennett

[walney rock]

Vast improvement on previous performances, need Moussa & Dave back asap, but deffo a result to build on, people may disagree but I thought dixon had a decent game today and can't of been far off m.o.t.m
