Another difficult game v Bradford who can still finish in the playoffs and above us, Crawley late equaliser now means Colchester virtually safe so probably won't be to bothered v Doncaster Tuesday and Crewe next Saturday and Crawley home v Grimsby, but at the end of the day still in our hands. So the last 10 away games no wins and 6 wins from the last 22 games thankfully the first 24 games were better.

That's a bloody disgraceful comment.
How is it? How are you so blind in seeing what an absolute capitulation this has been.
I don't agree with that sort of abuse on a forum.

Indeed. Win both our home games and we will finish in 5th place. :scarf:

Nah, not having that. Still be delighted to have him in charge next season even if we do bottle the play offs (which will be an absolute disgrace btw) Some proper wing backs and another actually commanding centre back away from being a proper promotion chasing side imho

Was a tough pill to swallow that, the team don’t often get criticism from myself but i felt a little angst and frustration was deserved today.
Ultimately it wasn’t just galling for us as supporters it would have been so demoralising for players, management and supporters alike. The rollercoaster seems out of control at the minute. Imperative we get right behind them for these last two games they will certainly need our backing until the last embers have died. Our destiny is still ultimately in our own hands.

Very frustrating that we haven’t managed that. We looked comfortable before the pen and then we completely collapsed. If we make the playoffs , great and wild should get credit , and if we don’t Wild has to take responsibility for some of his decisions … I can not for the life of me understand why Stephenson came off when he did. He was so solid today

Stop whinging everyone, for Christ's sake. Whatever happens in the next two games, we have still advanced since last season. After waiting 48 years to get back in the FL, you'd think we'd have learned not to expect instant gratification.

Most disappointing thing about today's game was conceding 3 goals in the last 10 minutes, after only conceding 4 times in that period in the preceeding 43 matches.

Not listened to Wilds post match interview but I expect Adam must have asked him because we all would like to know the answer to his baffling decision.

No disrespect but that’s the attitude that will keep us being happy with L2 football for the next 48. So because we had 48 years playing in non league football we should just be grateful! You cannot just pick and choose when these opportunities come along so you have to grasp them when you have the chance like we did when we came up. If we’d played that season out and got caught do you honestly think we’d be in the FL now because I’ll tell you now, we wouldn’t be! Yes it’s been a good season whatever happens but can we stop this ‘we’re lucky to just be in the league’ [SwearFilter]! We’ve been more than good enough all season to potentially get out of this league so just because it’s going tits up it’s suddenly no big deal if we throw the playoffs away!!

Fat person has not sung yet!

We will do this but with help from us..

Recreate the atmospheres like staylybridge, Brentford, oxford, Wembley etc etc... we have done fantastic all season and yes, it Dreamland but we are here on merit!!!

Wether we win a playoff game or not is irrelevant right now, it's a time to be proud, loud and Barrow!! C'mon, have we ever done it the easy way?

Keep your heads folks please, now is not the time to turn your backs on what is our best season for generations!!

6pts to play for, I think we will get four!

Stick with it

We won't *throw it away" c'mon man, we have an olive branch so to speak on Tuesday and we will do this, ffs everyone let's not loose our heads now!

Use this moment with your anger and frustration and get right up em in our back yard!!

Dissatisfied yes, lost the faith no...
