Malcom in for Newby the only change to the starting XI.

Walker and Freddie Anderson back on the bench. Shipley and Earing drop out of the squad.

Freddie Anderson back to the match day squad but I'd love to know what's happened to Brandon Powell.

Thompson is a liability and I'm guessing he's playing by default.
3 up top?

Can't fathom how our so-called right-back/centre-back defender Jack Thompson is selected week in/week out.

6 goals conceded in Swindon and Fleetwood matches all came through him down our right-side. Gillingham will know this.

Plus his suicide back-pass to Stanway cost us 3 points v Harrogate. (6 pointer actually)

Do the defensive job you're paid to do bucko and no more atrocious back-passes!

Seems totally disinterested

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a worse first half performance by a Barrow midfielder since the days of Royston Taylor

Our crossing is absolutely appalling. Easiest 45 minutes of the season so far for Gillingham's defenders.
Popular side since '03.

Shocker! 0 shots on goal 1st half - what else is new for crying out loud?!

As is our passing … to many 5-10’ passes that do nothing. It’s almost like we want to get rid of the hot potato as soon as they get it. Not enough movement off the ball to develop the momentum.

He’s had worse games to be fair one shanked clearance for a corner and the other one he lost control of we got a free kick from anyway.

We are still in this but MUST create more.
