Re: Barrow v Chesterfield match thread
Being there and seeing it happen proves it though. Only Stanway was to blame for that atrocity. Sometimes I swear that lad is thinking more of a highlight reel than safety first.Hendoblue wrote: ↑Mon Apr 06, 2026 8:52 pmThat picture proves nothing.Barrowvianbedlam wrote: ↑Mon Apr 06, 2026 8:47 pm

After applauding Jackson for his previous performance though, he's back to normal and I want some of the drugs that were taken before selecting him as MoM.
Stanway was bad. Jackson was bad. Harper was hapless. Gordon was inneffective (none of his attempted balls into the box from the right made it in there). Rose was a nuisance but with nothing to show for it (could he have stayed on his feet?). MJ and Smith came out of it well IMO but nobody else did.

Re: Barrow v Chesterfield match thread
Bouncing ball pinged at him and the striker sprinting at him from 2m away, he’s a GK not a centre midfielder ffs. See the rest of the team struggle to control simpler passes than that all afternoon.Barrowvianbedlam wrote: ↑Mon Apr 06, 2026 8:47 pmNope. All on Stanway I’m afraid.

Totally agree. Just another mistake to add to the long list of errors he’s made this season.boyliegladbach wrote: ↑Mon Apr 06, 2026 7:10 pm Disagree from what saw with people saying Canavan put Stanway under pressure. All he had to do was kick the ball he messed about and got caught out.
His kicking is awful. Decision making terrible at times. Dodgy in the air, often choosing to punch/flap at it, rather than catch it. Positioning can be very questionable, which has leaked goals. Shots have got past him too, when they looked like they should’ve been saved. Even on replays. All down to misjudgement.
Replacing Farman with Stanway was a huge mistake. Should’ve gone with quality and experience, over a poor inexperienced (in the football league) goalkeeper.

Re: Barrow v Chesterfield match thread
Just saw a replay of that back pass, you see it time & time again and there was nothing wrong with it, Wyll just needed to clear it - not mess about with it. Unfortunately we aren’t learning and mistakes are being punished whereas we don’t seem to take advantage of mistakes at the other end.ossickbluebird wrote: ↑Mon Apr 06, 2026 8:10 pm No way was that back pass "fired" at Stanway, in fact it was perfect for him blast over the stand but he tried to be clever and lost control of the ball. 100% Stanways fault, still think we'll stay up though![]()
Could not for the life of me understand the reasoning behind keeping Ben hanging around, nothing creative was happening and he should’ve been on much much earlier.
Disappointing as a point was easily on the cards there!
We didn't underestimate them, we just didn't think they were that good.

Re: Barrow v Chesterfield match thread
Disagree we looked solid back end of last season and Stanway looked very good. This year it’s been a shit show from the start and he’s really struggled with a bad defence in front of him. Farman made plenty of mistakes too towards the endCokey wrote: ↑Mon Apr 06, 2026 9:06 pmTotally agree.

You don’t need to agree. I know what I want from a Barrow AFC goalkeeper, and he is way, way off.Barrowvianbedlam wrote: ↑Mon Apr 06, 2026 9:15 pmDisagree we looked solid back end of last season and Stanway looked very good.

Re: Barrow v Chesterfield match thread
Very harsh imo. He was excellent against MK and without a doubt singlehandedly earned us a point with that last minute tip over the bar. Up until the mistake he was decent today too. Dominating his area on crosses and corners taking them well and setting up a couple of break aways up with his quick thinking throws.Cokey wrote: ↑Mon Apr 06, 2026 9:06 pmTotally agree.

Re: Barrow v Chesterfield match thread
People saying Winterbottom should start, hasn’t he gone out on loan, can’t see him being recalled unless we have injuries?
everyone is entitled to their opinion, deal with it

Re: Barrow v Chesterfield match thread
Dropped a clanger in his Rochdale debut leading to a goal no real EFL experience those shouting for him to replace Stanway at this most critical point of the season be careful what you wish for
Re: Barrow v Chesterfield match thread
Stanway has to do better there it’s his mistake and I’m sure he’ll own up to it if not already. Not an easy back pass to control so clear it safety first put your laces through it, Farman would he was a great kicker. Stanway has thrown a few in this year and I was surprised Farman was let go when he was, but if we do go down it’s not because of Stanway there’s a lot bigger issues than the keeper in there. I’d have given Winterbottom a go also but against Bromley and MK Stanway was faultless so you couldn’t really argue the decision then to not drop him. 4 from 3 tough games overall we’d have taken that but need to start capitalising on other teams inability to win and get a few more points ourselves. Keep it tight at a Barnet team who know how to score and we’ve a chance. Need to pose more of a threat though up top I wonder if Whitfield could start and if barkhuizen will be fit. I’d start with those two ideally either side of Rose to give us a bit of pace on the break.
