Seriously how do we stay up ?

For all things Barrow AFC. Keep discussions civil and fair, we're all Barrow aren't we!

I'd say 3 wins and 2 draws would be enough but thats a massive ask when you look at who we have to play. Our game in hand is against Oldham who have won tonight by thrashing Notts.

To top it off Booty who we let go and never let the manager look at back at the club scored another 2 goals and another from by the half way line 🙄

7 of our 8 games against top 10 sides - it'll take one hell of a final push if we even come close to staying up

I cant actually see us getting more then 3 points at a push. Probably the last points will come against Newport and drag them down with us.

In general terms we have crap players, poorly managed.
I hope they have some fight left in them to give it a go in the last few games. Next two, first and second in the league...

Seems to score or assist most weeks; perhaps we shouldn’t have played him as a holding midfielder (see also Charlie McCann, who is still our player of the season but even so)

Booty in a way was too clever for this team, Same as harper. Trying to play progressive passes when you’ve essentially got idiots around you is incredibly hard. Yet again we made anyone with a bit of talent the scapegoat and now there’s a good chance we’ll be swapping leagues 🫣 anyone with a footballing brain could see what he was trying to do.

Bound to be Saturday Mark, against a team unbeaten in their last 21 league games (won 14, drawn 7).

If we do stay up we’ve got a lot of shite and heartless players who have chucked the towel in all season still under contract for next season. With the only way of getting rid would be paying their contract up

Like others have already said I seriously can’t see us getting another win. I remember when Brown was manager we were in a similar position near the bottom of the league and we beat top of the league Forest Green 4-0. Does anyone think we’ll do anything like that to Bromley with these players. I just can’t see it happening.

we go back to basics.......a defensive strategy designed not to concede goals....an offensive strategy to hit them on the break....1 point or 3 from each game

we've tried not to concede all season and this is where we are. try going for goals and 3 points more often make it enjoyable

Yep, We have to go for it and get the crowd behind them from the first whistle. We will not win games playing the way we have been so we have to take risks. We might actually win a game of football. FFS don’t go down with a whimper

Listening to Phil Brown when he got the barrow job very interesting interview, saying we had a lot of confidence and a strong team we only just managed to stay up on the last day. We need the same spirit as that team 4 years ago. Com on barrow.

We never only just stayed up on the last day

We beat Sutton on the 23rd April and that was the day that safety was secured

There was 3 games of the season left - we finished 6pts clear of the bottom 2
