After that it was all barrow, thought the formation was wrong to start with and we were just putting optimistic balls in behind for bennet who’s not the quickest. Fair play to wild tho got the subs and formation bang on second half. All three of our goals were well worked, big mention for waters on the third goal (I think) cheeky little flick into warren then a great cross into the box forcing the centre half to turn it in

Mansfield got completely lucky with their goals. Farman poppadom wrists for the first one and ray [SwearFilter] about with it giving the striker a one on one.

Fortunately there are some very poor teams with less points than us. Every point from now is massive. ( University of the Bleeding obvious I know). We do seem to be in free fall.

As an aside RIP Gianluca Vialli.

Spot on , these bunch of player's are just not the type to defend and battle!

Poppadom wrists!?!

Is this the first game you’ve watched this season? Definitely got strong hands and has saved us many points this season just as he did last season with 16 clean sheets. Have a word. You’ve showed yourself up here pal.

Unduly harsh criticism, I feel. Yes at fault but definitely not poppadom wrists. We won the game, he probably knows he messed up, let’s move on, you’re only as good as your next game, don’t live on past performances…good or bad. PMA.

They are top international goalkeepers on mega Bucks but make howlers.
Mistakes by them inevitably lead to conceding a goal.
Mistakes by outfield ones don't always, so not highlighted the same.

I popped on here to say exactly the same after reading some of the comments earlier.
Of course he makes mistakes, but they all do…I dread to think of the shit he’d get if he made one of the mistakes you’ve mentioned above - and they’re keepers at the very very top of their games.

Sometimes you have to wonder what people expect of L2 footballers.

Over next week for the Orient game and got a good feeling about this one, still haven’t got see them win back in the league yet so fingers crossed. By the way l assume you can pay on the gate next week? Bluebird per sempre.

I never leave matches early, but after 40 minutes I was wondering just how bad it was going to get and whether this could be the first time. However, at the end of the match I was down at the front applauding a great second half performance. Never lose hope!
In terms of performance, we were set up wrong and had no real options going forward, although as someone has said above, Robbie Gotts was our one bright star until Billy Water’s goal. Pete Wild acknowledged that he got it wrong and changed it back to our early season style - plan A is the real plan B!
Their first goal was a combination of errors - not really all at Paul Farman’s door, as it shouldn’t have been conceded and shouldn’t have got through the wall. The second was a George Ray slip up in an otherwise good performance, but he seems prone to that. Our second half performance was back to early season Barrow - having a good surface to play on seems to have suited our style of play? I know the groundsman and team do their best at HS, but recent weather conditions haven’t helped.
Finally, the Stagsnet forum is in meltdown, with calls for Clough to go. Lots of compliments for Josh Gordon and one fan expressing embarrassment at being out-sung by “a few” Barrow fans (although I must admit it was quiet from around 20-45 mins …).
Feeling good tonight!

That can't be the same non-league standard Newby we signed recently, then.

Recently? You mean 7 years ago as a 19 yo, no it isn’t the same player, clearly developed and grown since and will be a useful addition.
