Bromley v Barrow match thread

[boyliegladbach]

Great result. Battled well.
Well worth coming all this way. Fantastic support

[Kieran]

Excellent performance, just lacked that little bit of quality in the final third. Better team first half, had to withstand a fair bit of pressure second half but still had our moments. That chance in stoppage time where Walters flashed it across goal was gut wrenchingly close. I felt he went too wide, should've driven inside and taken the chance on himself.

All that said, I can't stand 3G. Bromley's pitch was only put down in the summer so in theory its just about the best a 3G surface is ever going to be but it makes for a strange game of football. The ball bounces about 10 foot high every time, it flies off the surface with very little behind it and its difficult for players to get hold of the ball. The Football League have it right and need to stick to their guns despite the whining of the 3G clubs in this league.

I think I said about the Chester game - biggest balls wins. Well I tell you what - Guiseley away, Aldershot away and Bromley away. Pretty big ballsy performances in my opinion. I really thought we'd ship 2 or 3 tonight and am so glad to be proven wrong.

Realise it will be sudden death on Saturday and you cannot ever predict the outcome, but AP is squeezing at least 100% out of his squad. I think the team is actually playing as well as it has done all season at the moment. They are definitely earning the right to stay up albeit the hard way.

In these three games there have been various times in each game when they've had to hold their nerve and stand firm. It bodes well for the squeaky bums on Saturday.

Credit where credits due. A solid performance which could have gone either way. We'll done and great support as always. It was always down to Saturday.

[HenneysKnee]

Superb point, really stepped up this last month. Support sounded immense on the radio yet again

[mickmike wilson]

Very valuable point. The task on Saturday remains the same.

But now Woking have to win a draw is no good to them, the pressure is on them but Dover will also go for it.

Us denying Bromley the 3 pts helps Dover massively as they themselves need to beat Woking to help their own play off bid

[ant]

seriously believed we would not lose at Shot or Brom. And believe we will get our best home win of season on sat.

[ant]

Will take Ebsfleet to win play offs. shock? Momentum. ( like us )

[Jonty]

Great point. These last half dozen games or so they’ve really dug in and can’t ask for more than that. Keep it going Barrow.

[blue future]

Really hope we stay up now as I am excited what Ady can can do with a clean slate. Well if it is quite clean

[McMark]

Well what can you say!! Professional, commited and passionate from start to finish, the players matched that too. Brilliant performance, proud and loud we were. The pressure is now firmly on Woking to attack and Dover are more than capable of picking them off. As long as we continue to be proffesional and show patience we will be just fine, no time for complacency though.

One hell of a point gained. Doesn't change what's required on Saturday though.....a win. Thought the away support was superb. Kingsley James got lucky, probably should of been dismissed for a poor challenge.
Thought the Ref, Rock was absolutely atrocious, he certainly let am awful lot of poor challenges go unpunished. Yes, Walters had his big moment (in added time) but then again Bromley let several chances go begging and we were certainly under the cosh for the last ten minutes. Thought Hall was terrific at the back. Just wish I could say the same about Diarra, especially the first half, exposed badly a couple of times.
Dan Jones body language left a lot to be desired. Although in patches we played some good football we often made some poor passing choices, giving too many stray balls to the home team. Showed no huge threat on their goal but it was all about the result. Ebbsfleet winning tonight looks to have dented Dover's big play off chance, so Woking will be up for it. And doomed Chester may spoil the party at HS. Thought Diagne was very poor tonight and Arnold doesn't give me any confidence. Gomis was very solid and Luke James just didn't see enough of the ball. Very funny early on when both their keeper and centre half Johnson were having a bust up, should they have been dismissed? Roll on Sat

" Diagne was very poor tonight and Arnold doesn`t give me any confidence. " ...Wow! Stopped one of the leagues top scoring teams and some people still moan about the lads! Absolutely no time for some of my fellow Barrovians. And unlike some. i wont even contemplate replying to a possible snide reply. Unbelievable!

Did you have your southern glasses on tonight, the ones with the lenses blacked out????
Diarra had one of his better games also Arnold stood up well to the artificial pitch and pulled off two very good saves when called upon. The pitch looked hard to read at times with the ball running faster than the players anticipated. The referee let things go both ways, I always say that a good measure of the officials is if you don't really notice them then they have all done well in my view and this was the case. Bizarre comments and uncalled for IMHO.
