Delighted with that. Best performance in a couple of years IMO. Walker fantastic, so intelligent.

Defence fine, midfield good!! ARH great but Paddy Lacey good esp first half.

Passion, pace and some passing! Great goals and the crowd lapped it up- so glad I made the effort.

We agreed on Saturday on the way back, after being very [SwearFilter] off with the team and staff that we'd put it to one side and really give it a go. I think we did that, but whatever that was a tremendous performance.

BARRA SOCCER

Much better performance.
Fantastic goal by Pilks but he faded quite dramatically the second half, Well worked third goal (think it was that one) best goal from a free kick all season (actually, probably even the whole of non league football) by Izak towards the end.
Paddy booked again but decent.
Great game by Danny & Grandy, Cowps looked pretty solid but with no attacking intent, on the other side McWilliams looked very good with plenty of decent crosses in the first half.
Howarth looked very dangerous and was unlucky with his shot. ARH - my MOTM, tackled well, passed well and scored.
Jase was busy and was very unlucky to see his effort just touched around the post, Cooky was equally as busy and looked a handful for their defence. McMillan was pretty steady and he'd get my vote for the last two games, not that Arron has done too much wrong but just for the experience T mac should edge it. Marcus caused them problems as soon as he came on, for a slight looking lad he can certainly hold his own. Good to see Ant Wilson getting ten minutes.

North Ferriby, sneaky, physical side and the ref played right into their hands, liner on the pop side was atrocious, couldn't make a decision without glancing at the ref first.

On another day we could've scored that famous eight.

Happy tonight!

Well done barrow,best performance bar the chorley game,same again Saturday and hopefully its party time.Wilson coming on was a big plus on a very good night. Bluebirds

Great show from all the lads tonight and deserving 4-1 winners.Decent crowd for tues night game and a great atmosphere.Roll on sat for more of the same.Lets see if we can attract 2000

Just what the doctor ordered. Intensity, discipline and quality when it mattered. Harvey and Haworth outstanding for me. Keeps the pressure on Kirkham & Wesham, and scoring four is a much-needed confidence boost for Saturday. One minor grumble - what was his rationale in switching back to Aaron Taylor? He still looks shaky to me.
Oh, and if anybody from AFCF is reading this, NFU didn't capitulate - they were blown away.

It was Taylor in net tonight Ian.

Don't know who picked the man of the match but dubious decision for me

!
Well deserved man of the match !! some very clever football played

Usually would be pretty gutted on missing a game especially a biggy like tonight, but strangely tonight's different. I enjoyed what radio coverage that I actually managed to listen too, missed about twenty minutes of the second half. Andy Wood and John Goodwin were very up beat from the off and made it an enjoyable experience. A fantastic result and pleased for everyone that has stuck at it through thick and thin as the last few games we haven't been getting the results and everyone has been a little nervy. Just hope Saturday can be a Massive celebration for all the fans. But if it takes Lowestoft then so be it

Well there you go- what a fantastic team performance. Hard to pick a Man of the match- Harvey was superb again, great balance and very good on the ball. Pilks - you could see what that goal meant to him when he headed straight for Edmo as if to say thanks for showing the faith in me gaffer. The Reid freekick- up and over the wall from 18 yards to top off a great night. Crowd loved it and got right behind the team from the off.

We can do it. Two more of them please.

Well played bluebirds attacking football, quick and lively that's how u open teams up! 3 pts v a plucky NF side. We play like that v Tamworth we will score 1-2 gls! Reid's goal was quality! Jase played well , and Ray Harvey brilliant and Grand and Livesey well u know ! The bench looks strong . Play that team in the last 2 please Edmo

Ermm, right, I meant Taylor but I also meant T Mac should be in goals but Taylor did well but I'd prefer TM...........oh [SwearFilter] it!! that's the last time I volunteer to do the pop side shop and miss the team being read out...........and them [SwearFilter] glasses are going back

How did Danny Wheatley do on the wing?

A fantastic team performance and Harvey was my MOM very unlucky not to win It.

Roll on Saturday hoping we can get 2,500 as its a chance to win our first league title since the last millennium

Tremendous performance tonight.

Passion, intent, intelligence, determination and bottle in abundance.

If we had played like that all season the league would have been wrapped up long ago.

Walker and Cook both wasted glorious chances but they didn't snatch at them. They took their time and were composed which is perhaps a suggestion that they aren't feeling the pressure.

The midfield tonight was fantastic as were the defence, except for the penalty.

I thought the crowd were fantastic, behind the team from the first minute and I think that assisted the players.

ARH man of the match for me closely followed by McWilliams.

Same again for the next two games please!

The crowd were unbelievable tonite , not when we scored , from minute one! Maybe the attacking line up got them fired up !

Just shows what can happen when you play your best team Edmo! Four excellent goals, could've been more.

Only negative point, Lacey was a disaster waiting to happen.

I thought Lacey played very well tonight. Didn't do much wrong , won the ball in air umpteen times against the giant and broke up play well.

Paddy had a good game. I don't know what the lad has to do before some people give him some credit. Brings the same things to the team that Kevin Proctor used to.
