United win at city. Unexpected.? been a city fan over 50 yrs. Was i shocked at that result? No. Its football. Funny old game.

[ant]

Why should i face it? I`m a barrow fan. Seen it all after 50 odd years watching us. As i said. Funny old game.

I think the real issue is that we have no leaders, whether on or off the pitch. Don't know who was skipper today but heard sod all. Grant comes on and does very little. He try's to bully the oppo and the ref. And tries very hard to get booked.
can't believe how poor Mousse has been this season, he certainly is no leader and certainly doesn't seem to give Cook any confidence. We really relied on the Jones long throw and it was ironic that a short throw (when everyone was lining up for the javelin throw) resulted in a fantastic cross that was neatly despatched by the James boy. The 163 away fans certainly made a great atmosphere and even Jones got into some Banter with his number one fan (from last Tuesday)
We knew it couldn't last. The O's front two were two good for our slow moving defence and their 11 was very pacy, giving Barthram a tough afternoon. I still can't work out what White brings to the table. This was a poor game and for a three minute spell during the first half the two keepers were testing each other with aimless punts. The two late goals were no surprise, as we were pushing for an equaliser. Did Mousse actually win any headers whilst in their penalty area? What with Youssef getting a late winner, even out goal difference is the same as Moors. anything less than six points from the next two home games, then last one out please turn out the lights. It doesn't bode well. As a last resort I did ask the Chief Steward if he could send the Ref over for a quick Q & A, as the second booking on Jones plus other strange decisions needed explaing. But that just covers the alarming cracks underneath.

Untill that fat lady sings and the final whistle is blown i will forever be the optimist. Only way in life.

[Mark Johnson]

The Fat lady didn't sing today but the fat dragon ran on the pitch waving his flag and that will do for me.

Hope the police escorted it off promptly?

I trust that it had a fire safety certificate. Some of the Barrow flags were banned because the said bit of paper couldn't be produced.

[Alhosk]

Some of us have seen these symptoms before and can smell relegation like a recurring disease.

What other recurring diseases can you smell?

What an odd figure of speech.

[Hitthebar22]

The players aren’t good enough individually, and collectively the manager hasn’t been able to organise them into anything like a capable enough unit.
As well as being poor players by comparison to others in the league, I am beginning to question their commitment. As full time professionals that’s poor if they want new contracts with Barrow or anyone else.
For the first time this season I see relegation as a distinct possibility, or even a probability.
Very very disappointing

[HenneysKnee]

Go 4-4-2 on Tuesday night and have a [SwearFilter] go; can’t be any worse

[McMark]

Battled hard first half and more than deserved our lead but awful defending lead to the equaliser and we just had no answers second half we were well and truly rolled over. Yes the referee was inept but so we're our players at times.
We can tell the players what we think of them herein will it help.our plight?? No not in the slightest, we simply have to stick with it.This is the greatest time of need since our owner took us over. There are points there to be earned, can we do it, who knows but I would hope we are not just going to roll over as supporters, we must live in hope. United we have a fighting chance, divided we don't have hope in hell. Luck changes at the drop of a hat in sport, I urge our supporters to continue to give their all. Have your say when the season is over by all means, but we have one hell of a battle for the rest of this month, it really could shape the very future of our club as we know it.

Totally agree let's have it.. We can still stay up it is in our hands and the 4 of the last 6 are winnable games
