Everyone is talking about the cost of running the club which is fair comment but you have to work with what you have and get the best out of them.

I don't think we are there yet but with some persistence I'm sure the poor start - against good sides - will be turned around.

Keep the faith with a bit of PMA!

It’s clearly going to take plenty of patience and lots of nursing through of the players at our disposal. Still very early days so plenty of time to establish ourselves in this league for yet another season which would be no mean feat in itself.
The players are going to need us to play our part along the way. We have had horrendous luck with injuries already.
It’s never easy following Barrow AFC but from adversity we pull together and draw strength off each other it’s the Barrow way👌

It would be interesting to know what the distance stats were on Tuesday. Harrogate looked fit and mobile . They had front players that went past our back line time and again. We looked slow and ponderous. And age, what’s the average age ?

I wonder if we have a decent physio.
Remember when Sean Riley was here he managed to get out injured players fit quickly when we had a crop of injuries.

Karly Bland joined us from Tranmere in close season following head Physio Joe Kennedy departing.

Chalk n cheese

Think some of the issue maybe mentality and or commitment.

You just don't be a crap team after two great performances against Preston and county.

Was it tiredness? Fatigue? Or just lacking desire?

We have all seen how well we can play so for me, it's having consistency!

A long way to go so no need to wobble just yet.
