Tickled me listening to the Morecambe and Wise theme tune belting out over the tannoy at the end

Credit to Ronan et all for the pre match display etc as well; gets the predictable stick from that club that “aren’t bothered about us” but it looked great and got the atmosphere going, something different.

Thing is, this team, is as good as anything in this league. Everyone, instead of talking about it, get on the bus, or in your car, and get to Bradford, and be proud of what we have! And Enjoy it!!!

Great programme cover.
Good banner of Wild.
Morecambe dirty, ref over-tolerant.
Mellon contained.
Remarkably good defending, skilful attacking by Barrow.
Shrimps 5 very strong but Acquah gave of his best against him.
Three good points on the board and up to 8th.
Disappointing home attendance; good effort by Shrimps.
Bring Me Sunshine inspired.

He was watching the game from Frontierland.

Derek Adam’s ‘a draw would have been a fair result’

We had 3 clear chances and took one of them

They had zero clear chances and took none of them

A barrow win was the only fair result.

Very solid again tonight, giving the opposition very little. Really impressive how hard we work. Would like to see how many yards Spence in particular put in tonight.

George ray absolutely class again and deserved man of the match. The whole back line and wing backs solid.

Great to see our 2 forwards combining for the goal

Let’s keep this momentum up on Saturday and get an overdue cup run going !

[Jonty]

100% shift from the lads- George Ray- Superb won every header. Brilliant display and brilliant atmosphere all around the ground.

Loved it.

UTFB!

Allegedly racist abuse towards Emile by a Morecambe director.

Came from Morecambe group sitting in the home directors box as people were sitting in away section.Had a heard a couple of come on you reds shouts from our home area which drew my attention to the row concerned.No alleged about it heard part but not suire who was directed at.As they were sat in front of our board members amongst others should be plenty witnesses as I was further back and heard it.

Allegedly the shout was “get off him you big gorilla” from a Morecambe director

Hard work watching on ifollow - more nerve racking than being there. Totally dominated the game. Morecambe's managers comments after the game were laughable as others have stated on here. Got a decent team here and Stephenson was very impressive. 2-0 what have been a better reflection of the game just wish we could score more goals.
Like others am a bit concerned with the pitch. Lots of slipping by the players even more so tonight than during the past two home games. The pitch looks in good nick but then seems to cut up very quickly.
