All results going for us but we can’t take advantage. Maybe tired legs but a lack of real quality and a poor poor goal to concede. Only saving Grace is no one else will gain on us just shows again what a weak league it is.
When Newby is in the XI you know you’re in trouble thought Whitfield shouldve been on much sooner even in smith in midfield. There’s still a glimmer of hope…

Still can't see how Barks does't even make the matchday squad if not injured.
Granted he's not a worldbeater but should at least be on the bench.

Another stupid mistake cost us the game.
We didn’t look like scoring in a month of Sundays.

Poor, poor second half.

This. Couldn’t break them down. Beaten by the better side.

No changes with bottom 5 teams - they all lost. Usually having 1 game in hand is 'a get out of jail card' - but with us, don't bank on it. Might come down to goal-difference in the end.

Goal completely knocked the sfuffing out of them. Never looked like scoring second half, v poor.

Williams MoM for me,

It was poor after we went one down but they were a better side. Would like to have seen Whitfield on a bit earlier only because I think we had ran out of ideas.

Just sat in traffic ETA back into Barrow about an hour.

Easy to blame Stanway for that but Canavan was far too slow and fired it back to him at speed. Should have gone.

Newport at home: and AN other
I had completely given up on us two weeks ago, now we have a bit of hope. Just have to hope for more Bromley (H) performances than Grimsby (A) ones over the next month
