That was dire. Lucky to be only one down. Whing needs to change something. Personnel, formation, tactics, motivation, otherwise we could be on the wrong side of a thrashing.

Being out fought all over the pitch, energy levels nowhere near the Notts County performance, to many players hiding. Can still turn this around though

Potentially the worst barrow half I’ve seen in years that, look like a [SwearFilter] pub team

One effort just over the bar by Earing to show for our nights work thus far.
Still plenty of time to change the game in our favour but need to be more creative in the final third.

Formation change needed for me, no midfield, no one grabbing the game by the neck, just weak and pathetic everywhere, need to go to a back 4 or something as we dont have the pace when we get robbed of possession like we have done twice now and conceded.....

Still look slow and terrified of going forward .. [SwearFilter] around with it. Set up all wrong. Dreadful stuff let’s see if there is a response second half

No bothered with me lose but please at least give it a go

We don't have the forwards and they are faster
Lucky only 1-0 down.
if you notice they don't have to play back to the goalkeeper.
Raglan not up to it and Jackson seems to be beaten all time.
Need to get act together

Scott Smith awful again. Give me tom white over him any day. Stanway the second best keeper we have as well. Second hskg can't be any worse surely

This. Tippy tappy 5 yard passing to go absolutely nowhere but backwards. Harrogate, on the other hand, causing havoc for our shaky looking defence by getting forward at every opportunity. 2nd to everything, mistakes on the ball. Hairdryer treatment needed at the break.
We hate Carlisle United, we hate Workington too (and Morecambe), we hate Accrington Stanley but Barrow we love you :scarf:

Got to get something out of this or else early alarms are going to be ringing.
Still searching for the Young Soul Rebels

Absolutely terrible.
Need to make at least 3 changes for the second half.

Agreed. We have a much better keeper on the bench.
