Morecambe v Barrow, match thread

[HenneysKnee]

Not to go all Mike Williamson but wonder when the last time we’d have had an XG of almost 4 in an away game would be? Could easily have won today with a bit better finishing

[andyg]

That was a nutcase of a game today! So so Barrow this season - our finishing letting us down. Farnham mistake then a Farnham worldie of a save! You can't say we didn't get our money's worth today.

Was it me as I was sitting almost in line with their first "goal" but I really thought it was offside. Plus the linesman was way behind play at that point.

[McMark]

Topsy Turvey game, we certainly flattered to deceive first half. Plenty could have stoped that second goal but didn’t. Farman gets the blame ultimately as the last line of defence I thought he couldn’t react as the man and ball were too close. But he more than redeemed himself with that save.
Get Robbie Gotts signed up his contributions have been superb when others have faltered.
Second half turnaround never looked possible at halftime so credit to all for getting a draw, but in reality we should never of been in than position after the sending off.
They got away with the first elbow but thankfully the liner made sure they didn’t second time around.

I was sat in line he was offside!

[McMark]

Were you saying that after Notts county and Accrington when he was outstanding ??
He is league 2 for a reason. He makes mistakes and unlike an outfield player when a keeper does it invariably leads to a goal

Yep, people keep saying he is one of the best but Morecambe goalkeeper far better.
Should give Stanway a chance and see if he can make it and if not line one up for next season.

Jeezo really The General Burgoyne contributed to their downfall today. Was shakier than a hyperthermic dog.

[Pedro]

Farman is finished.
Duru needs to go past a man rather than keep laying the ball back.

You Sir, are ridiculous. As ever

You are entitled to your opinion as am I .
When Dallas had the chance to make it 3-0 I thought no way is he going to score but I did think it's a pity they never had Presley as well.
Morecambe were nothing special and we struggled against 10 men.
Thank God there are a couple of teams worse than us .
That's not taking anything from Andy Whing he inherited a bad lot of players.
Duru was taken off because he could not beat a man.
Big clear out required

There are seven teams currently below us. None of them have games in hand on us. There will be changes in personnel before next season but the suggestion we've survived because there are two crap teams is nonsense. Our goal difference is -3, Tranmere who presumably aren't one of your two crap teams are on -27.

No , we beat the 10 men 2-1. We should have won but we didn’t struggle against 10 men .

I was sat in line he was offside!

I was inline also and thought he was level

I was slightly nearer the goal but generally I felt the assistant referee wasn't always up with play to make the offside calls.

[spirit of 1990]

I can’t remember a game this season when we’ve had so much possession, so many corners, so many chances and gone in at HT losing….

Not sure what the thinking is when we take a corner and have Newby standing ten yards away, yes it takes one defender out of the area but for every corner!! From having his best game for us last week I thought Pressley was quite poor yesterday. What a fantastic save by Farman to deny Dallas, that would’ve been game over if he’d have scored - as he should have.
Not nice to see a Barrow supporter giving Farman a shed load of abuse as he went to collect his water just as the HT whistle went, I don’t see how that benefits anyone.

Great day out & in the end a decent result that I didn’t see coming at HT.

I think pedros correct regards Farman. There’s a big error probably every two games with him this season. Credit where it’s due he’s been an excellent servant for us since returning to the league and has won us points on his own, but doesn’t make him immune from criticism. He’s been Sunday league at times this year

[Hadrian]

Yes, some so-called supporters, completely lacking in empathy, behave appallingly towards our own players when the team is not winning, even when playing well. There are numerous examples on here, too, not just from those folk who inhabit their own private universe. As I was told when younger, if you can't say anything good about someone, say nothing at all. Suggesting improvement or disagreeing with opinions are one thing, name-calling and other abuse are not acceptable.

The two people at a corner with one almost consistently unused has long puzzled me, too. Would they be better-employed off-centre, five or ten metres from the halfway line? In general, this takes one opponent out of circulation at the corner, too, and a second falls deeper than usual.

Level with the edge of the 'D', I had the impression that the first goal was offside but I was 'ball-watching' rather than looking along the line so must reserve judgement.

The Brucciani's sundae was excellent, as usual. Still full from it this morning, though.

PS re Farman: obviously not infallible, but the facts don't support the 'big error probably every two games '/'Sunday League at times' view.

[32mile_cul-de-sac]

At least the bottom two never gained any ground on us this weekend, so I guess job done.

There was a group of lads in the crowd rightly shouted and stopped him, he just turned round and started arguing with them instead.
