Come off it Graham,Fletcher has had 20 years experience mostly championship level at some big clubs.
Emile is a 23 year old kid plucked from Maidenhead.
I don't really care how long Fletchhas played, it's my opinion. Acquah never wins a header, can't hold the ball up and always falls over. Otherwise he's great. That's got nothing to do with how long he's played for.

Come on ,we had 2 tough games previous, Stockport was hard fought, and the conditions against Accrington will have taken it's toll ,our squad doesn't come close to Wrexhams so give them a bit of slack anyone who couldn't see this coming is living in dreamland we've done things none of us expected this Season NOW isn't the time to critise ,just be thankful were not Salford!

As much as I like PW this defeat is down to his tactics, the only teams that have beaten Wrexham are the ones that go out to attack them, so what do we do? Just sit back and let them walk all over us, very poor 😢

We were more than in the game until the mad first half injury time. One of those games to suck it up and move on.

Very very un-Barrow like, we’ve been solid in defence for most of the season including most of today’s first half so that was totally out of character.
Overall we can’t complain at that because they took us apart from the moment their first went in.

We need to get this out of our system asap & get back on track.
We didn't underestimate them, we just didn't think they were that good.

I couldn’t agree more. The boys and management team have worked wonders to get us where we are. Punching way above our weight, Time to get behind Pete and the lads.
The three at top tonight get automatic promotion IMO.

Just a bad day at the office well done Barrow on our long unbeaten run, everything comes to an end but we’ll go again against Tranny. Hope our injured boys are ok. Let’s get behind the lads this Sat.

Not bothered we lost by 3 goals - same difference as losing by 1 goal - no points.

Interesting comments from the Wrexham commentator. Wrexham have made 4 lots of substitutions, when you are allowed 3 ! Does that mean we get the game awarded 😄 They have broken the rules.

We simply had the stuffing knocked out of us in a five minute blitz in added on time first half and there was no way back from there.

Looked tired, need a rest for a big game against a tranmere who are on form right now..... hope Worrall and Stephenson are ok and that Pete wild speaks his mind on some of the decisions in that game.

Real bump in the road today hoped for a draw after our busy schedule or a narrow defeat.Sounds like ref was crap again.Is Pete Wild not there? Thought he serves a ban and has had 2 cards since are rules different for managers?Frel sorry for the fantastic number of fans who witnessed this.Two injured just adds to our woes .

I don't particularly disagree with anything you say and I'm certainly grateful for the position we find ourselves. But there were 5 changes to the team that started Accrington and PW has regularly rotated so I don't accept they'd all taken a toll. The injury to one of those, Worrall, didn't help, of course. I'm not criticising the team nor individuals just saying that to beat Wrexham our approach would have needed to be different.
Don't let the old man in.
