At the end of the day Wildy took the risk with his subs and it didn’t pay off, damned if you do damned if you don’t he’ll know that and be hurting badly. He’ll also want to put things right for the BOD and us fans. We have nothing left to give but our solidarity and if we don’t succeed then so be it BUT and it’s a big BUT we are Barrow so are we going to let others steal our dream of promotion NO. We’ll repell them on the beaches we’ll repell them in Weatherspoons, we’ll repell them at Holker St and this will be our finest hour and a half. COYB

Yesterday was like a tsunami of crushing disappointment washing over us in the last 10 or 15 minutes. There is a certain amount of finger-pointing aimed at PW in this thread and although some criticism is probably justified it's fortunate that there are some measured and balanced posts to counter the off-the-leash howls of protest.

I do agree that PW does things sometimes that I can't see the logic of, particularly when it comes to seemingly making substitutions for the sake of making substitutions, as though it's some sport of automatic conditioned procedure that simply has to be done. I struggle to see the sense of hauling off young, hungry, energetic ankle-biters like Gotts and Stephenson when the going was getting tough. But, that said, if I'm asked whether I want Pete Wild here as our manager next season (no matter what happens in the next few days) I will say "100% yes, absolutely".

When you’re in the moment; things can slip your mind, how many times have you been talking to a friend and then left the conversation and thought ahh I forgot to ask how so and so was - there’s no difference when you’re in a live interview environment.

At the same time when you’re faced with someone who is clearly annoyed, clearly not wanting to talk (short snappy answers) it’s sometimes best to just end it; not poke further because it doesn’t end well on both fronts

True Adam. I don't think Wild would have appreciated a question regarding the subs he made yesterday and part of your job is maintaining a harmonious relationship with him. I don't think I've seen / heard Wild as upset as he was yesterday. Maybe it's because he was frustrated with himself - how he managed to let that game slip.

We are in touching distance of the play offs but it is eluding us and we just need one game to turn in our favour and we are there

To be honest, mate, I wouldn’t take any notice of the criticism on here. Some people clearly just like to be negative and pull people apart; and take delight in being negative.
From what I can see, you do more than a decent job.
Keep it up!

You're right Adam I was one moaning that you didn't ask Pete certain questions and I apologise for my post just upset at the time, carry on your excellent commentary and let's get over the line

It was an interview between a fanatical supporter and a manger both of who were hurting after what they had witnessed. Not easy for either but you handled it brilliantly Adam as you always do.

Just seen this, clearly something happened between their support and Farman..

Hope this doesn't get in the hands of the FA Farman physically throws a supporter to the ground who should not have been on the pitch, but knowing our luck he will get a ban along with Wild & Temple for entering the field of play.

They should be docked 3 points

He won't have done it for the craic, it's clear something happened. They were investigated not long ago for pitch encroachments so maybe they will get a whopper of a fine?

With the utmost respect to you Adam, you’re not talking to a friend, your there in a professional capacity & something like pivotal moments in the game should not
‘slip the mind’ no matter how uncomfortable they are to ask.
Listen mate you’re great at what you do and I don’t mean this in a personal way. Listen to every podcast, every interview. And enjoy them all.
But you’re a professional journalist. When you’re there in that capacity, perhaps you can’t also be there as a ‘fan’.
100% appreciate having to keep a relationship with the club, but not if it’s just asking questions they want to answer, and not the ones they don’t.
