Barrow v Harrogate Town, match thread

[blue nige]

Stockton and Spence were....

Campbell is the penalty taker and normally puts them away. Hindsight is a wonderful thing isn’t it

You're right the best player's in the world have missed penalties it happens !

[_bluebird_]

Christ he scored one on Tuesday. They're a lottery at best

[Bingley Blue]

Whitfield wasn’t on the pitch

Stockton and Spence were....

And may have missed.
Campbell took a decent penalty last week.
Hindsight is a great gift.

Awful pen

Too cute, too soft, tried placing the ball and it cost us 2 points.

Need to change our penalty taker.

Stockton, Spence or Whitfield, would have blasted the ball into the roof of the net, giving the keeper no chance.

The ball moved before Campbell started his run up, I thought he would have re-spotted it as it was in a little depression. As was l seconds later. Semper sursum.

[Matty]

Definitely an opportunity missed, if we'd have won that the table would've looked really interesting....

Not clinical enough collectively, penalty aside we didn't test their keeper whatsoever. Not just the strikers' fault either, our service from out wide is very poor at times. Newby works his socks off and gets into some great positions with the ball but the end product often lacks. Set piece wise our corners are also rarely threatening, made it easy for Harrogate's defenders at times who will be pleased with their display.

We were stood right behind the goal, the ball moved twice before he took it, maybe Campbell should of re-spotted it but its all ifs and buts, still a point against our bogey team who came not to lose, on to the next game!!

Couldn,t believe how much possession we had and still didn,t score,it just wasn,t our day.Aquah was getting pulled all over the place and the ref let it go.As for Harrogate's goalie and his time wasting he should have at least got a yellow card it was that blatant.I just hope today wasn,t an opportunity missed that comes back to bite us later on.At least we didn,t lose so that,s a positive.We definitely need to start knocking the goals though.Onwards and Upwards.

[Jonty]

Penalty miss aside we were poor in the final third and didn’t make enough of our possession. Thought we looked most likely to score before the changes, but hindsight etc.

Just one of those you have to suck it up and move on quickly to the next one.

Positively- last two games we’ve played on the front foot and always looking to get the breakthrough and I’m confident we can finish the season strongly.

[boyliegladbach]

We're getting like last season's Arsenal trying to over play attacks, countless times we play it out wide when you could either shoot or go in on goal, it just gives defenders time to fill their penalty area!
When Campbell went to take the penalty he hesitated and went to move the ball but didn't, I'm sure this unsettled him!
Onwards we go !

He hesitated because the ball moved. It then moves again moments before he hit it. Shit pitch and a bit of wind.

I think Harrogate deserve credit in the way they defended their penalty area not allowing us to create much in the final third. They were first to every cross and stayed disciplined and strong in the way they defended.
I’m unsure whether the foul on Gotts was a penalty he was going nowhere the defender had no reason to bring him down it did look soft from where I was.

[behind the goals]

Even with Whitfield & Telford on we still didn't look like scoring plus Stockton & Acquah offered very little, if the penalty goes in we probably win the game very easy game for Belshaw, just one of those games but we have 9 games left and still in with a shout at 7th place.

[HenneysKnee]

but we have 9 games left and still in with a shout at 7th place.

Barrow are 1/10 with the bookmakers to finish top 7

[Pedro]

Once the goalkeeper saved the penalty I thought that's it a draw.
Before anyone complains penalty shoot outs result in hero and villains but it happens.
Harrogate came with a game plan and it worked .
We will end up where we deserve but if we did get promoted this team will have to see a influx of a few better players.
Farman is the most improved player

Not a gambling bloke so all them numbers mean [SwearFilter] all to me but from what I gather, it makes a nice change to see us being looked.at in a different light to what we are used to??

Look, a point gained and not lost!! Harrogate have always been a pain in the arse so to come away with a point is a plus rather than a negative! The league is very tight BUT we are where we are on merit as are others!

In the mix at this stage of season and still getting the results is massive, let's not forget where we were 3,4 5 seasons ago.. we are Barrow and be [SwearFilter] proud cos this is a once in a generation opportunity so embrace it now and bloody enjoy and be proud of where we are!?

Onwards and upwards for sure!!

[mickycarrol]

Too many changes that didn’t affect the game at all.

We never seem to test their keeper

Two points dropped, they were shite

The end
