Cheltenham who look like they will be champions will be thinking how we managed to do the same against them...

Im not sure whether this would have been a different Barrow if we needed to win but but this is a reminder that we need to have a good summer recruitment or it will be same again next season.

Yes, but from where? We are on a budget.
If we don't this squad will not stay up next year over 46 games.
Another relegation struggle is more likely than not. That was our standard performance during most of our time in the FL

OK, it’s not great, but they have scored from two defensive lapses and we have made some good chances. Don’t forget, Southend MUST win this and we don’t. Having no pressure on us can go two ways - play with complete freedom or just go easy. We haven’t been awful, just not sharp. Stop getting so pessimistic about season based on this. You wouldn’t think Southend are playing to retain their 100+ year league status.

Edit: OK, maybe the injury's not so bad.
Devitt just isn’t the player he was & id be amazed if we don’t release him, Not sure if he’s contracted for next season or not, Either way I’d get rid, Same for Kay for me, We can’t wait forever for him to mature.

If we lose this both Relegated clubs took maximum points off us, Got to be a mentality thing imho.

How can you stop a game when the ball has just been passed into the box?!!

Dixon has earned us plenty of points during the season with his fine goalkeeping, so I for one will forgive him the the point lost today due to his unfortunate error.

As it stands Morecambe could overtake Bolton next week for the third promotion place.
