Big gaps on the popular side tongiht while the team put in a sterling performance and worked their nuts off for a well deserved victory.
Adam Murray praises the supporters regularly, and the ones that get off their arses deserve that praise, but he must realise deep down that the attendances are well below what the club merits.
If I was Mr Hornby I would throw the towel in.
Barrow public are shite. All they are interested in is pubbing and sitting in front of the TV.

Probably more to it than that, shift changes in the yard and midweek, families have school etc. Plus not everyone can afford to attend every home game.... Tuesdays have always been hit and miss with attendances

Full credit two weeks after Solihull I thought we were in trouble, huge turnaround since then and all without our old captain…

Big, strong but we’ve got the ball wide and got it into the box and caused them problems all night. They’re not a bad side but other they’ve had a couple of moments and Winterbottom has made a couple of big saves but we’ve been too good at the other end. Hard to pick anyone out for MOM but Harper, Thompson and Oakley were stand outs for me.
Mooney and Allen aren’t bad subs to have either with their quality and pace.

Very very good result and probably best overall performance I’ve seen in a couple of years really.
Agreed. The change over the last couple of matches has been amazing and we now look like a decent team. The crucial change is that the last group of players brought in have skill and pace. Thompson, Allen, Ward, Lane and Mooney are all good footballers and they have transformed the attacking threat. The team is also the fittest we have seen for a few years so credit to the manager who has also managed to get Harper to put in more effort and look a good player.

FORZA BLUEBIRDS, FANASTICO. Just watched the highlights, three wins on the bounce, let's make it four against Wealdstone. Fantastic turn around and seems like an energy back in the club.
Even looking forward now to getting over for a game.
Bluebird per sempre.

Hope not.
Williams is on 4 bookings, would probably get another if he plays, another ban and want a week off again.
Could easily be wrong but personally I’d be very surprised if MJ plays on Saturday after what’s been said, or even if we see him in a match day squad for us again

I imagine Scott Smith will come in hopefully. Or Edwards starts. One thing for sure, we’ve looked and performed much better without him. Last night I thought we played really well. Resilient, robust and some real quality. Marriott is an outstanding player - Thompson was fantastic. Things are really looking good - excited rather than fearful for the first time in years.
