Until Wrexham scored, I was thinking that they had all the possession but we had had four scoring opportunities to their none. So tactics weren't too bad IMO. The big problem is that we had no 'out' ball as we weren't getting Newby away down the flanks and Acquah wasn't holding the ball when it was played long.

If we can get one early on second half then go for it, I think we have a chance. Wrexham defence isn't all that great. Bring on Proctor and Telford for Acquah and Stephenson, put Whitfield out wide and go for it.

I think if Telford comes on it will show the intent to play football again rather than lump it up to Acqua which hasn’t really worked. Campbell for White too for me.

Second half will be a real test of character. Don’t think we’ve conceded three all season

McLean shouldn’t be on the pitch.

We are too nice, get in the refs face! Should have been off first half.

This is turning out to be a nightmare for Barrow. Losing two key players

Be nice if Wrexham knew you're meant to tackle with your feet not your head.....

Quite correct. We have scored 3 or more away from home 3 times this season however.
