Great support from Newport, barrow fans in number, players playing how we’ve wanted them to all season.
Could be 4/5 up by now
everyone is entitled to their opinion, deal with it

Never believed he was the right person to take a penalty. Why not Rose, or McCann?

Could and should but aren’t, not clinical enough up top the penalty sums it up. Meanwhile still look shaky at the back Raglan is a bomb scare. Plenty of effort though which hasn’t always been the case why oh why….
Only one point in it we should be kicking ourselves all summer

Plus the 'good half - bad half' syndrome from the sound of it. Can see us losing this now, even though it doesn't matter it will be annoying.

Really should be 3-0 up at least but yes we’re not.

Could make for an interesting last 20 minutes, other results going against Newport as well so I'm sure they will be throwing everything at us.

What a shower :roll: miss a penalty, go to pieces, hand the initiative to the opposition and then make a big error to give away the equaliser. I have a lot of mates in Harrogate and I am sorry we look like letting them down.
