Brilliant work lads. Sounded like a fairly comfortable one in the end and certainly feels like a corner turned. It was tough going for those first few games but, to be fair to AM, he said it'd come and it has. Up to 12th, and on to Saturday...

Credit where it’s due! I’d of sacked Murray after that Solihull game but what a difference a few matches make. Allen’s a player will make a few quid of out him. Could have had six tonight. Also credit to Ben aswel to excellent saves that one at 0-0 could have changed the game

An excellent all round performance, strong but skilful. When we pass it round or drive forward we look very good. Very good cross field pass for that third goal - Mooney looks very good indeed. We are delivering on that pre/season promise, but a poor crowd after last Saturday - surely they aren’t all watching England?

Played some great football tonight I thought from watching on the tv we are building a great team and I’ve waited years to see a Barrow team attack attack attack love it

Yep, I was so down after that Solihull game, but credit due, it’s coming together. Our attacking play second half was superb. We are balanced equally down the left and right which is so important. Seb Thompson is a top player and always looking to make things happen. As good as we’ve been for a long long time. Well played Barrow 👏

Let’s pack the old girl on Saturday and get a buzz going. 4 wins in a row would be a huge statement of intent. Before heading to struggling Tamworth

Perhaps watching Barrow on TV!

What was the attendance?

Winterbottoms best game.

Reid battled and perhaps should have had a goal

Mooney and Allen even with the game won still look dangerous and combined to make the third goal.

Marriott brilliant.

Allen is a loan player.

I was one who doubted Murray but that second half tonight was very good. Seb Thompson for me was mom and we have some serious players on the bench. Allen has pace to burn and must be a nightmare to play against he took his goal brilliantly.

First 15 mins the formation wasnt working. Murray saw that, changed it and we went from strength to strength. Winterbottoms save in the 2nd half set up that win. We have really class on the bench to change it as well. Seb Thompson was head and shoulders the M.O.M tonight

It was always going to take time for this team to gel with the turnover in players, credit to Murray for the direction this team is going in. You can see the togetherness in the squad and the connection with the fans is growing week by week

We work our nuts off and earn the right to perform like we do in the last 30 minutes, the pace and quality out wide in this period is looking too much for teams and we’re starting to show a real identity

Trust the process!

I haven't enjoyed a game for what seems like ages until tonight.
Particularly enjoyed the game management when 2-0 up, keep attacking and score a third goal 👏👏👏👏
Just say no to VAR :sentoff:
