When does the Rugby start? Seriously.

At least they score and give fans something to cheer about.

Once again we’ve created next to nothing, one good save from the keeper in the first half from Acquah that’s about it how their keeper got mom is beyond me. This isn’t a recent thing it’s gone on for the last few months there’s a reason why we’re one of the leagues lowest scorers. I would love to know what Clemence does and tells them at training, our quality in the final third is absolutely non existent. Wouldn’t say it was a bad performance on the whole and the effort is there, but it’s all about that final third absolutely toothless again!

Think we have some decent players but we aren't getting the best out of them.

Sounds strange after our start to the season, but now we just have to target that 50 point mark and rebuild for next year. There will always be seasons like this for any team when trying to build so we now just have to reframe our priorities and make sure we are still a league team next season

We can’t mate- until we get players who can score then it will be more of the same. It’s clear it ain’t gonna suddenly click with the players we currently have. A defeat, but not a totally outclassed pumping. Take some positive out of that and that we all know where the problem area is. It’s what we can do about it in January.

I don't think it is simple as that Jonty, though it might help. How many chances do we create? I listened to one passage of play in first half and it was Barrow in possession in the opponent's half and it was " X passes to Y, passes to Z, passes to ...." etc and I wonder is the build up too slow and predicatable.

One goal and the game stats are pretty even then that is one small positive to take from this game against the top of the table side.

We all know this and SC knows it and the players will know it.
The thing is will Clemence know a goal scorer when he sees one.
Seems a nice guy but this will be his last job as a Manager just not up to it.
The Wayne Rooney of the second division and Wayne Rooney was a very good player.
I think he must take Kenny the hypnotist from Little Britain to his interviews .

Clemence and Wood are to blame for this, kept the same forwards ( who couldn't score last season) and brought in Dallas!, we're also short in central midfield, absolutely disastrous planning we can't go on saying something will change, we're living in a fools paradise and that's a dangerous game!

Agree Jonty!

Just played top of the league, pretty much matched the m in there own back yard but unfortunately couldn't score...again!!

We are a better team than our position, well we would be if we could score. Seriously hope we break the bank and get not one but two strikers who are not afraid to shoot, knows where the goal is and wants to help rescue the season!!

Thank god January is weeks away, let's see what's what then before we all jump ship and point fingers

Pete Wild is available and would hit the ground running, time to swallow pride and facilitate his return. He is the right fit for Barrow.

Don't talk such rubbish. You haven't a clue.
