Absolutely over the moon with that, unbelievable after the shite that’s been served up lately.
So so glad Jase played and did so well but no way did I think he’d last that long, no idea what state he’ll be in tomorrow and the day after but I hope he’s ok for Saturday, if we have any chance of stopping up we need him playing.
Luke James was absolutely immense tonight as was Quigs - he actually looked like he was enjoying being there rather than just getting annoyed with everything (and everyone)
Well done Rob, Sam and was that Lilles in the dugout area? Fantastic.
We didn't underestimate them, we just didn't think they were that good.

Completely made up with that like everybody else.

After spending weeks trying to work out what system we were supposed to be playing, the starting 11 tonight just looked and felt more solid. Getting Jason back was a total master stroke and just set the right tone. Played smart played with heart and looked every bit a L2 team. Players performing, partnerships blossoming, even Jolleys signings beginning to stand out. And not by practicing degree level football theory either. Rob Kelly might not feel that comfortable being a manager but he clearly understands footballers. As long as he is there I dont think we are going to see a disinterested or divided dressing room.

Bolton will be different but confidence will rise. One game at a time. Stay with Grimsby and Southend and we may even pull each other back into the trailing pack. Colchester currently falling fast, Mansfield and Scunny drifting off the pace again. As actually are Oldham. Still lots to play for.

Excellent performance. I don't think anybody had a bad game and great to see Jason Taylor back and Sam Hird on the touchline. Two really good professionals who have always given 100%. Defence looked very solid and Davies had his best game yet. Same for Banks in midfield and I think Devitt is also a useful player. A long way to go but a vital win as I will be very surprised if we get anything at Bolton so this could be a very valuable 3 points.

First game missed this season due to work. Typical. Great result, fantastic to hear Jason Taylor back in the side. Sounds like Rob Kelly has the lads fired up and playing with passion again. Keep it going boys :scarf:
We hate Carlisle United, we hate Workington too (and Morecambe), we hate Accrington Stanley but Barrow we love you :scarf:

I'm still picking my fingernails out of the ceiling, I bet Quiggs heard the roar from Barrow even through that monsoon when he scored.

Here are the highlights. Great goal from Quigs and a brilliant control and pass by Devitt.
