Just watched Murray’s post match comments on YouTube. Yes he’s doing well, and I quite like him. I do think he’s too animated in those inevitable interviews though. Whing was the arch exponent of face pulling, tugging, twitching and ultimately it was a revelation of his inadequacies. I hope Murray d...

Losing its edge, sadly

The football yesterday may not have been the best match to watch but in Allan and Thompson we’ve two players with pace and who look to beat their man and get a cross or shot in, i cant remember us playing with two wingers like that for some and defenders hate it. IIRC not since the likes of Wheatle...

Currently we aren’t bad at all.
The fitness levels are very high, and players don’t look knackered in the last 15.
The subs so far have been excellent, and add an extra dimension when they come on.
Nothing really not to like at the moment.

The first half was dominated by the wind, and players on both sides weren’t skilful enough to deal with it. What I liked was the obvious determination to win the ball when out of possession. It’s a constant full on effort all over the pitch. We were better with the wind in the second half, and still...

And then tap on “watch and listen”. An easy scroll to Radio Cumbria, and Barrow

Exactly.

We will just have grin and bear it, in the absence of any realistic alternative. other than sacking yet another manager. All the above posts correctly identify the past difficulties, but none address an Identifiable way forward. Underpinning our problems is money. Firstly a lack of mega bucks, to bu...

No Russell that will take time but positivity breeds positivity and we were the better side today by a distance. Far from the finished article but it will come. I'm just grateful for some points but most of these matches are just kick it forward aimlessly, grab hold of any player near you and foul ...

“Feels like something’s building” Shame Mark Leather didn’t feel like it was and decided to leave. May not seem much but somebody who is used to high standards wanting to leave isn’t ideal I’m confused by this. Has Mark Leather left the club? As others say there doesn’t appear to have been any anno...

He has been a bit like Dom Telford when he arrived. Both came with excellent reputations, but both faltered and ultimately disappointed in a Barrow shirt. I suppose Rose is different in that Murray inherited him rather than chose him, and currently he doesn’t fit the bill. Like everyone, I hope we f...

Up until 85 minutes last night the ground was buzzing. We had been the better team, frustratingly not scoring, but then a belter went in. Our intensity was noticeable - man to man marking, winning lots of individual battles, and most second balls and 50/50s. That was throughout, so our fitness level...

Unnecessarily profane from one of the contributors. Lessons in the bleeding obvious for a lot of the observations.
Pretty dull really.

"Unnecessarily profane" needs to go on the poster - all the more reason to tune in!

Touché!

Happy Birthday Big Man! Big Innes steps up in the 96th minute to get us a well-earned draw against the dreaded Harrogate. That's lifted the spirits of this week's guests Ronan and Danny, who join Jonny to break down the Harrogate away trip, and that wonderful Murray interview of course. They talk p...

Just watched Murray’s interview. Unimpressed. Too many sound bites. Too many excuses. Too many attempted explanations. Too much face scratching (becoming known in medical terms as “Whings Disease”) It really is a bad look. I’d say, just get on it with it in your own way and say as little as possible...
