Did that goal come from Jackson being fleeced on the wing? I've not seen a more useless defender for Barrow since we returned to the league.

We all knew we were going to have a really tough start as the fixtures weren’t kind in the slightest.

Nothing up top but terrible deliveries into the box.
Stanway looks like he’s another version of Farman in making stupid decisions and errors.
I hope Whing has a miracle lined up in that he can find a striker from somewhere, and a CB and a GK.

[SwearFilter] it I’m off to the Vic to forget about this game.

We’re trying to play wingbacks with players that clearly aren’t and never will be wingbacks. And Cameron is isolated upfront and we still lack any attacking creativity and quality. Early days still for a lot of the players but until we improve in those areas above it’s going to be a tough season which most is probably accepted it would be. The loan market before September now is probably our best bet.

Absolutely pathetic all over the park, mistakes you'd see in the national league north, nothing in the final third, no shots on target.... its gonna be a long slog this season if whing doesnt get this sorted out as what's out there now isnt working.

Like a team that don’t know each other against an organised team with a lot more pace than us, plenty of games left but it needs ironing out sooner rathe than later

Absolutely dire. We were completely useless. Wondering why I bought a season ticket.....
Just say no to VAR :sentoff:

Ditch the 3 at the back, Harper should be in midfield, we've only got 1 fullback Jackson!
Thought Newby did ok out wide, but final ball shocking but at least he tried,
Ryan Booty what was his role he was nearly playing in the back 3!
Campbell hard to judge him because he was so isolated, our transitions going forward were non existent, then after the substitutions I honestly didn't know who was playing where,
Yes MK Dons are good but we have got to at least pressure these teams, Whing needs to seriously work out how we are supposed to be playing because I expected a high pressure and wingbacks bombing forward not a back 5 and a non aggressive midfield and one up front !
