Terrible result just lucky Southend and Colchester only picked up single points.
Frustrated we didn’t just play a bit more attacking as previous few games.
All done so let’s move on to Saturday and get things back on track

Blown it in true Barrow style.
Worst team in the league take 6pts off us
Poor selection
Poor formation
Poor tactics
No midfield
No idea
No passion
No cutting edge
Big hoof ball

Keep that flag in the bag....

What a game to put in a really below par performance. We were bad. We had a real chance to put Grimsby out of reach but instead we throw them a lifeline.

What concerns me more than anything is that it was a totally disjointed performance at a time when we needed to deliver. I really hope it doesnt knock the confidence too much but on that showing this is far from over

Very disappointing- Can’t win every game but our lack of ambition killed us. Need to go for these teams . Nothing worse than losing and playing badly against a rubbish team

Very poor that tonight from a lot of them. Too much just pumping the ball aimlessly forward by the centre backs. I've said it before, you set up just not to lose and get hit late on you cannot just change your mentality. Positive note, the new lad looked a handful but should have been on the minute they scored. On to a very tough game on Saturday. We have to be more offensive thinking with our selection and set up.

I just hope he's not undun all the good work we've achieved so far, we were just getting our confidence back then he ruins it with that very poor team selection and tactics,

Far too negative that & gift wrapped them the impious & they took it & punished us & now they have momentum & we are still very much in the relegation scrap....We should have been brave and took it to them as a loss for them would have been a huge blow & we would be 13 clear of them instead of 7, I still feel we will be alright ...IF... We use better tactics, But that's really peed me off tonight.

The imbalance in the team was there for all to see, Rob Kelly will know that now and address it going forward. They offered very little but struck gold with a very good strike.
Take stock dust ourselves down and go again!
Looks like Calvin Andrew could be a good foil for Quigley holds the ball up very well.

surely he must have known that when he picked the team?
at a loss with that performance I can only put it down to fatigue after 2 tough games against Cheltenham and Crawley!

Grimsby did a job on us and defended well, then they got the lucky break to get a clear shot on goal. A 0-0 bore draw would have been appropriate.
