Not alot of quality but we had it when it mattered
Smith, Marriott and MJ head and shoulders above everyone else. Hopefully kick on from here
Note to the club, the tannoys all over the ground are awful, echoes in the popular side, cant hear what hes saying half the time
Smith definitely came out on top with his battle with Francis. Thought George Walker was ok. Latty -Fairweather though

Agree with all of that. Probably Smiths best game in a Barrow shirt. From what I’ve seen so far there just ain’t a lot of quality throughout the league

Technical difficulties were to blame for the lack of Music ahead of kick off today. Apologies - Bailey (Stadium announcer)
On that subject Bailey l have to report the we can't hear much in the way of announcements in the Holker End only a muffled echo from other parts of the ground. It was the same v Yodel. Maybe needs a new battery but I'm no expert.
Same on the Popular Side. It's a guessing game.

Totally agree, anyone who says this leagues close to L2 in terms of quality needs thier eyes testing

Many said league 2 was garbage we will just have too put up with it, fans will make up their minds to attend or not watching this dreadful football, how players can train all week and put out videos about how we will play but on match day just hoof it all game

I've also just watched it and it was miles above the Barrow v Sutton match as you will see at the end of the season because both those teams will be in the top 2 or 3.

Ive watched Boreham Wood twice now and although they didn't play as well today as they did when I watched them beat Boston they are a level above anything else in this league imo.

Agreed but whereas Boston just allowed White and Booty to pass the ball around without any challenge, those 2 were hardly allowed a kick by Carlisle which was a far better team than Boston.

Since the thread is much quieter than it has been after a defeat recently, what was your personal highlight of today? Whitfield getting back on the score sheet and a manager who fist bumps being a personal choice
Had to be Marriott’s well taken goal. The way it’s been going for the last year I was sort of expecting Sutton to get one back so to seal the win felt great!

How we playing not gone and not watching it or listening to it as walked away fed up too many times this past year or so lost all the enjoyment for me at the moment feels like somethings lost within the club lack of a connection with the team and fans

Was that the next manager sitting in the stand behind the dug out, making notes all game?
M.M. according to Google search....
The plot thickens...

Probably for the best as the rest of us enjoyed ourselves at full time today.

Is that a sign jacksons well and truly not fancied, not in the match day squad but posted a run on his Instagram tonight so hes clearly fit. Its a shame its not worked out as he looked outstanding in that first season. Best for all parties to part way? I think hes better than fairweather but desperately needs to find form
