Thats a result in itself.
We have impetus, they have nothing to play for.

Game of the season anyone?! WOW!!

@Adam29 incredible commentary on the drive home! I hope your voice has returned for Saturday!

Given ourselves a real chance. Let’s go for the win again on Saturday now!!

What a night. Slowly calming down with a beer.

Bluebirds!

Wasn't confident when saw team,even less so with bench.
Heart sank at 1 down.
Heart booming at 2 in 2 mins to lead.
Heart sank again at 2.2.
Heart racing and @r$e twitching at 3.2.Shaking like a $h!tting dog...
Final whistle.....and breathe.
We don't do anything easy, do we?
Roll on Saturday....

And for most the game, plaid against 12 players!

So the victory is even sweeter!

Wow didnt see that coming.
Re Harper i think its his general mannerisms that make him look lazy, quite gangly etc reminds me a bit of byron harrison who had similar comments made about him.
Regardless let's take the positives. HUGE win tonight and if we can beat Walsall at the weekend we are in more than in with a shout.
I wrote these boys off after seeing them at barnet - i hope they make me eat my words
Also so so please for flash getting his goal. Shows if you chase stuff down and put in the work then things happen

The players gave it everything to get something from that game. It was an incredible end. Emotionally drained, we went through it all tonight.

We’ve got a life line!

You can never question Gordon's effort and in a better team he'd be more effective, has a never say die attitude which is what you need.
Shame he's out on Saturday who will come in for him? Hopefully not Newby but can Fletcher play a full 90? Possibly Barkhuizen back?

Holy shit.

Should have scored .
Stands off players ,not physical enough for me.
Not sure who could play but for me he is lazy.
Dior Angus was on commentary the other week and he said he thought Harper was a good footballer.

He's a great footballer look at his goal on Saturday, some of his passing too that's what he can do but he just stands off too much at times and doesn't impose himself enough. I'd say with his ability that lack of work rate at times is why he's found himself bottom end of league 2 having been a championship player and an U-21 international not so long ago. If he could do it more often he'd still be at a higher level, can be a very good player but incredibly frustrating as he has the ability to do more but at times just looks half hearted.

You hit the nail on the head Scott5. He has so much ability but as Pedro said he stands off people too much and is sometimes clumsy when he tries to tackle (Bromley's goal against us was due to a poor challenge). He should be playing higher up the pyramid but there's a reason for that he's just not consistent. That's why, like many other players with ability, he is in L2. If we get 3 immense performances out of him in the next couple of weeks we will stay up. But........

Well this Manchester Bluebird is making his way up on Saturday & for the Newport game (whatever the situation maybe then). I hope a lot more make the effort both in and outside of Barrow to go to the games. You all heard the noise we made tonight at the end my TV was rocking! The boys really do need fans to be inside the ground.

No Josh for Saturday (as Walsall is his parent club). So who will take his place? I hope for one more game we continue to be Walsall bogey team. Forget about them missing out on the play offs they will be hurting we must not presume it will be easy.

Personally, I'd play Fletcher up front with Rose, he definitely makes things happen

Is that our first EFL Tue night win this season?

Thank you boys and staff what a night you’ve given us sat in the stand so emotional, every fan singing and hugging so so happy. When we stick together WE can make things happen. Would love to hear AJ’s goal commentary but not sure if can get on bbc sounds?

Come on boys we can do it.

Whether we stay up or go down that was a genuine incredible Holker Street moment that will live long in the memory; the noise at the end with everyone whistling for full time will stay with me for a long time. Could we…….
