Re: We are going down!
Can’t even get a point at home against bang out of form Gillingham and Harrogate - think we are doomed - squad just aren’t good of it. Wood needs to be ousted
Re: We are going down!
Playing 2 kids at the back (1 of which I feel sorry for but hes been chucked in a scrap and isn't good enough) a keeper whos bang average and slows our game right down esp today. Our missing players would make a hell of a difference!!!
I just can't fathom out the Managers thinking after today. 3 strikers but 0 shots
No service to those strikers
Mahoney getting on ahead of Newby or Fletcher and Newby not even getting on!
How do Earing and Shipley get left out entirely for some of those players ???
Just utter shite

Re: We are going down!
In Band of Brothers a soldier said to another one "assume you are dead and if you get out alive its a bonus" - or word to that effect. So lets accept we are down and enjoy the rest of the ride - for away games treat it like a farewell tour - I am going to. And if by some miracle we do survive consider it a bonus.

Not quite. A shambles at the back, in the middle and at the front as it has been for most of the season.Bluebirdboy wrote: ↑Sat Feb 28, 2026 5:07 pm Absolute shambles at the back again not good enough barrow![]()
Re: We are going down!
Just watched the highlights and guess what ? Not a single effort from Barrow. How the officials have missed that leg breaker is utter shocking and that needs reporting to the league (won't change result but he was pathetic)
Goal conceded was just typical of us this season. Zero effort to clear it then when it lands in the box 2 players stood right by the lad who turns snd shoots !

Re: We are going down!
I thought we had defended well as a team unit all game, players were putting in challenges and winning second balls. That’s from the front - Josh Gordon’s defensive duties were immense yesterday and he was a worthy MoM for us. There was one in the second half and he wasn't event the closest Barrow player to the Gills player with the ball and he came back 10 yards into midfield (close to the Pop Side) to make a challenge and won the ball. You cannot question the commitment.
The goal was horrible how it happened, but have shot in a crowded area and it might fall your way. This is what frustrates me more than anything about our side, we have no one who will take a shot from the edge of the box through a crowd of players. We are not making enough of any opportunities just outside the box to get a a shot away. To not force a single save from their keeper concerns me more than anything.

Re: We are going down!
We need at least 4 points from our games in March or the fat lady will sing.

Re: We are going down!
We're 11/4 to get relegated right now. How we're not amongst the favourites, or outright favourite baffles me especially after yesterday's performance.
Yes Josh Gordon undoubtedly works hard every game, but he lacks any kind of quality on the very rare occasion we manage to work the ball into the oppositions half.
He's not alone I know, goes for the job-lot of them. McCann can't get the ball over or around the wall from a promising free-kick position, Jackson fails to beat the first defender from a corner when our momentum was flickering into life. And the team, as a whole, do not communicate anywhere near enough when the balls in play.
To cap it all our new/new/new guy in charge puts the pirouetteing-pony-Mahoney on in front of Newby, who for all his failings in front of goal, would imo anyway, been a useful substitution yesterday.
The list of inadequacies from the very top, to the very bottom of our treasured club's shambolic 25/26 season will go down as a roll-call of retribution once the ink's dry in the history book of the (potentially) last ever season in the football league for Barrow AFC.
Grandad, what did you do in that last season watching league football at Holker Street? Says a youngster in the near future.
Backed them useless b******s to get relegated at 11/4 and wish I'd took the 4/1 before Fleetwood somehow managed to beat us. Came the reply!

Re: We are going down!
I agreed with someone who said to me on Friday that 'six points from the next three games', starting with Gillingham, is a must.
We can still hit that target starting on friday night.

Re: We are going down!
Lets hope this ‘team’ do go for it and Dino can wring some kind of endeavour and fight from them. Most of us who go to the games have seen the very lack lustre nonsense they dish up to us. I think we have to encourage and support these players to somehow keep us in the ELF this season and then we can wave them bye bye for ever.
