When you go 2 - 1 up with five minutes to go you should be able to see the game out but you knew deep down we wouldn’t. I’m sorry but there was a certain inevitability about the outcome, We’re a bit like the England cricket team, we have our moments but you know how it will end. So we now go into Tuesday night’s game knackered after the fun and games of extra time meanwhile Tranmere are fresh having not played. I’m sorry but being gallant losers doesn’t wear with me. We need results no matter how we get them. Hopefully we get three points on Tuesday but if I’m honest I very much doubt it.

Totally agree.

It’s about belief and about going for it - there is no reason we won’t win on Tuesday - up the bluebirds

Its also interesting to note the comments of some when the match was in play - where they there at the game when they make a shedload of negative assumptions or just listening to it somewhere? For example there may have been a few moans in the first half but the fans round me were certainly not restless. But we must not let peoples agendas get in the way of what went on today on the field of play must we? Yes we were a bit rattled after Stanway's error but we made sure we were only one down at half time.

It may not be everybody's idea of dealing with the situation but the game would have been over at half time if we'd been two or three down hence the way we played after the goal. I'm as frustrated as the next person as to our lack of effective forwards and know Gordon really could do with more help as he was a class act today but the second half showed we have goals in us.

I'm down this evening (as I am when Barrow lose in any game) and particularly as we didn't get over the line and get into that third round draw. But slagging the team off - all the time - as a number on here seem to take delight in doesn't serve a purpose even though we will continue to hear the usual rubbish spouted as those people keep telling us that its their right to express (negative) opinions on a forum. We've heard you a million times. Why don't you go and be negative somewhere else on some other forum? We've heard it all before. But will hear it again after the Tranmere, Gillingham games and beyond.
