Scunthorpe v Barrow Match thread

[SayitagainSam]

John Rooney is single-handedly keeping us out of the bottom 2.

God bless the womb that bore him.

He's scored 3 goals in the last 7 games to give us 4 points from a win and a draw.

Shockingly, NO ONE else has contributed a SINGLE GOAL in the last 7 games!

So much anticipation for the return of Holloway, our so-called Striker - he had another Stinker.

Scunny looked like a Sunday league team, or worse...

[Holkerbird]

The perfect result - three points and the forum also gets to moan about the performance.

Were you happy with it? 1 goal against 10 men in a team that is bottom.of the league table.
I think fans have every right to voice their frustrations which are always called "moaning" by those easily satisfied.
You can't paper over the cracks just because we won.

[popular side]

my god watching that has put years on me i have seen better finishing in sunday league football it was frightening we had chance after chance against a really poor outfit down to ten men for long periods of the game and we nearly shot ourself in the footright at the end this 3points is like gold dust i am stressed out and of need of medical attention

I think Holloway will really start to shine on Saturday.
I'm on the Brandy.

[blue nige]

Well thank god for that takes a bit of pressure off but the lack of goals is getting ridiculous! but we won !

[AugustusCorpa]

Wasn’t great. Should have been 0-4 but we won and all the other results went our way. Table looking much better.
Will be good atmosphere on Saturday.

Totally deserved 3 points, dominated the worst team I've seen this season. How anyone can say that was a poor performance is beyond me, poor finishing yeah but not a poor performance. Why Beadling was left on after his yellow was ridiculous.

It was dreadful, seriously dreadful. We went 1-0 up against 10 men and then somehow created 4 absolute sitters whilst playing at walking pace against one of the worst sides the football league has seen for some years. Then contrived to miss them all and gave them a sniff that they might get something in the last 10 mins.

It was an embarrassment of a game of professional football, including from the referee who wants striking off for that first Beadling booking.

All that said, it's a massive result and I'll take it all night long.

[April1972]

Well what can you say after that?
We won.
We scored a goal.
Other results went our way.
We know for sure now that there’s at least one team worse than us.
All we can hope is that we stay up and then reassess again in the Summer.

Well said!
Some people need to get real. We are down the bottom end cause we are not great but some people expect [SwearFilter] Barcelona every week. That was not a 'poor' performance. OK scoring has been a problem but at least we had opportunities tonight and we dominated the opposition.
Jeeez some people need to look for the positives

[Jonty]

That was an absolutely massive win tonight but bloody hell we made it hard work by not putting it to bed.

We squandered a lot of good chances again and there was always that risk that they could get the break. Thankfully we got it over the line

[sambino]

Great 3 points was painful to watch but we got over the line and got some luck for a change with other results going our way now lets draw level with Carlisle on Saturday with a win

[walneyroad]

OK scoring has been a problem but at least we had opportunities tonight and we dominated the opposition.

Surely that is the nub of the problem. We have had chances in other games - not many - but enough to have won them if we had a clinical finisher or two. Cooper said as much in his after-match interview tonight. He said if we'd taken more of the chances we've had this season we would be in the top 10, not the bottom 5.

[Jim]

It’s the time of the season to get a result no matter how it is gained. This time last year under Kelly we were grinding out results and performances didn’t worry us.
Let’s get to the end of season in 22 nd place or above, then the inquiry into this awful season can start.

[Bingo]

It's a massive result, let's bare in mind scunthorpe needed to win that to stand any chance of stopping up.. we would have lost that a few seasons ago.

Should have put it bed. On to Saturday we go

[Main Stand SeasonTct]

We dominated what was a shocking Scunthorpe team and 4:0 would not have flattered us. We cut them open time and time again and Scunthorpes Keeper was MOM for me. Its 3 points that's the main thing. It aint going to be pretty from now until the season ends but all being well we will get enough points to stay up.
