Don't forget Hemmings answer to all our goalscoring afflictions. !

Agreed, old saying about how you treat those on the way up, as you will meet them on the way down. Anyway, some see it as banter, we’re bound to get a lot of shit when we go down, just as Morecambe have.
Banter my arse.
'Some',being the optimum word!
Carlisle hated us for having the temerity to get in the efl. Only have to listen to those two in the studio up there regularly, which I do, to understand that the sooner we are gone the better.
Utter rubbish. Nobody at Carlisle "hates" Barrow, there is no rivalry at all.
As for "these two" in the studio, I would say they're biased/more positive to Barrow. You only have to look at the posts on X from Cumbria Sport to see that.

Well tonight's the day Foley should be in the pitch.
Today is last chance saloon.
Ironical my mate who follows Liverpool said to me I wonder who actually put a bet on Barrow going down.
I cannot believe that we have had such a bad run without some of our players throwing the game.

It’s been half arsed displays all season. These players should have been really going for it weeks ago. Losing at home to Crawley, Bristol Rovers and Harrogate was disastrous. It looks like they’ve left it too late now. Can only see more disappointment tonight.

I hope I’m wrong and we win 3-0. It really is a must win game!

Play everyone who is an attacking threat and go out to batter them.
Make defensive subs when we're 5:0 up.

I expect nothing less than every player on the pitch to give their all, and if that proves to be not enough then so be it.
What I dont expect is a half @r$ed effort, like many we've seen this season leading to defeat.
If the players care then now is the time to show it.
They should have shown that they cared the minute they pulled the shirt over their heads and walked out on the pitch from the first whistle in the first game !!

They best, like you say go out tonight as if they really are fighting for their lives, I want to see tenacity, bravery, limbs, attitude, fight and fire!

It's now or never! Show some guts or forever be known as the overpaid bottle jobs...

I'm pleased to see tonight's commentary is now up there.
Don't let the old man in.

If only we’d have had him fit all season (insert a sarcastic ha).

In 20 home league games this season we’ve failed to score in 11 of them and only actually scored a total of 13 goals, pretty embarrassing really

No if buts or maybe’s- we have to win all three remaining home games.

It really is now or never

Any fan who’s been with us and angry, want these players out etc, has got to park that off tonight and if you can get to the game then go. We need everyone behind them to give us a chance.
