National League website shows the Barnet game on Feb 29th.

Which is when the next round of the trophy is

Exactly!

and now someone is saying we need someone new up front because our top goal scorer had an off day in front of goal.

I can’t believe what I’m reading last couple of posts, ...actually I can.

Actually what people are saying is the back up’s aren’t good enough; when we were behind last week did you honestly believe bringing Hindle or Harrison on would change the game? Or god forbid if Quigley or Angus was injured for any length of time neither of those are good enough to start every week for a title challenging team

[Hadrian]

presumably the loan market but that’s for the manager to decide if he needs anyone at all. That’s what he’s paid for!

And to decide if anyone potentially available is likely to be suitable.

[Barra Marra]

A lot of the discussion is around the cover up front but how did Simpson do between the sticks? Obviously conceded 3 but it didn't sound like he was to blame for them. Point being if (heaven forbid) anything happened to Joel are we well covered? How far is Saltmer from being fit again?

This. 100%. Not in any way questioning our starting line up. I'll say it again. Our starting line up is hands down the best in this league

What did Evo say post match? I had to pop out.

[PerthBluebird]

Big thing for me is the fear factor will have lifted for a lot of teams after us being beaten twice regardless of putting out a weakened team today looking as well at the draw heaps of lower level teams notts county fylde should gave fought on both fronts

[Steelworks End]

I'm not too despondent after this game. Barrow didn't deserve to win, but Barnet were flattered by the scoreline; if White's screamer against the bar had gone in early in the second half when the score was 0-0, it could have been a different game. Instead, Barrow switched off for ten minutes or so and conceded the three goals.

To an extent it was mission accomplished; whilst an end-of-season finale at Wembley would have been an enticing thought, in reality winning the League and Trophy double with our relatively small squad might have been a step too far, and we could easily have fallen between two stools. We have won the Trophy twice, 30 and 10 years ago but the last time we were promoted to the Football League was 99 years ago.Time to redress the balance.

Does anyone on here remember the last time we were promoted to the football league?

I don’t even think that way to be honest. I think about Quigley finishing as the leagues top scorer and Angus getting better every game.

Feel sorry for the hardy souls who have gone on supporters' coach.

The result hasn't deterred the mood. All in good spirits!

[barrowfan]

Hope they get home safe and sound before the storm starts.

Not too many spirits on the bus I hope

I was jesting. Wondered if we had any 100+ yr old supporters on the forum. Sorry!
