Rubbish first half outstanding second half and could have nicked it right at the end. Good to see Josh Gordon getting his rewards in amongst all the doom and gloom he has been a shining light in recent weeks.

Great point after a dire first half.

Please can someone get 90 minutes out of them!

I think the second half shows that we do have very capable team. We need to change the 45 minute game to a 90 minute strategy and belief.

More than happy to come away with a precious point after being 2-0 at the half. We inched up the table a tad, given there were no wins for the lowest 13 teams, 12 - 24, who either lost or drew.

We started the game with a different formation and were crap, we reverted to the previous tactics and were miles better second half!

Just got back from the game now. Shengs en-route!

Yet another game where Barrow play 2 entirely different halves of football.

Some positives for sure though

Will take that point all day long after being 2 down and the circumstances we are in. Good fight back boys.

Credit to the manager for mixing it up and for the players response!
As fans, that's all we asked.. a bit of fight and we really could have nicked it.

Good point that!

Here you go again.What justification did you have for that statement.Looks like you ended up.with egg on your face when the game finished.I think it is only right that you offer Neil Mcdonald Donald an apology on this forum for your ill chosen words.I,m sure you are big enough to offer it.
