Barrow AFC.net

So Barrow entertain a team fresh from a 0-0 draw at Wrexham, a team that can get that result will have no fears coming to Holker Street. A draw is no good to either side so I expect an open game so a good watch incoming. Barrow will have to be on their metal to take all three points, hoping the game is played due to weather and if it is its going to be a heavy pitch which Imo doesn't suit the way we play. All speculation of course but lets hope Barrow bring home the bacon.

It's put down a lot of rain so far , tomorrow isn't bad but not sure about Saturday!

Are you a Weather Forecaster, now?

I think he may have looked at a weather prediction

Always seem to be a thorn in our side and have done really well so this season!
A winnable game but only if we play like we did Tuesday, definitely not a team to underestimate.

Weather has been cack, not seen forecast for Saturday but hope it's on as we can't be in a position of playing so many games toward the end of season and it buggering up our chances!

Bit of drizzle tomorrow in a drying wind and a mainly dry Saturday until late evening.
Hearing the Weaver army have sold less than a hundred tickets so far which is pretty poor for a team just over two hours away.
Score 3-1 with 3345 in attendance.

2-0 in front of 3,223.

4-0....

According to my Wrexham supporting grandson Harrogate got exactly what they set-up for. Never made a chance all night and Wrexham played into their hands.Their attacks were slow to build with a lot of sideways/backwards passing and a wide gap between midfield and front men making Harrogates task easier.They were also time-wasting almost straight from the kick-off. Hopefully Pete and his staff have done the right analysis and can counteract them. After all they conceded nine at Mansfield so are not impregnable.

As ever Skip, score first, score early, seems to be the message.

They've lost 15 games. We score early I think we'll turn them over
4-0

And presumably their defensive set up is a reaction to that chastening experience. For us, games against harrogate are always a dour affair and not much fun. It will probably be more of the same tomorrow unless we can get a couple of early goals.

I would hope whoever the ref is will stop any deliberate time wasting and slowing the game down.That is probably Harrogate's plan.I just hope we don,t fall for it.We need to attack them from the outset and keep our defence tight.They are probably hoping that if they frustrate our players enough by falling down and feigning injury one of our team will snap and end up fouling one of their players giving them an easy shot on goal.We also need to shoot when we have a chance instead of taking one too many passes and losing the opportunity.If the team does that we should win this one.Plenty of pressure with no.let up should win the day.This is probably going to be one of our toughest games.We have beaten them once,let's go and do it again.As for the team I wouldn,t change it too much,maybe bring Tiensa back in if he is fit.
Onwards and Upwards

Harrogate appear pretty inconsistent this season so we don't know which Harrogate will turn up - the Wrexham or the Mansfield one!

Think some on here are deluded, predicting easy victories, Harrogate have the second best away record in the league.
