Radio Cumbria interview with Paul Cox.

Paul Cox understandably over the moon with today's result!

Supporters played their part in seeing us over the line.

Feel for Ross at the minute but he knows what I think of him!

Players still learning and we are trying to build this football club both on and off the pitch.

Moussa becoming a colossus back there!!

Told Simmo not interested where we are at the minute, we still need strengthening and in the next week or two we will look to do that!

Continue to improve get better and become more consistent but we have to be greedy and grab what comes our way.

Didnt ecpect a win today fantastic result.
If only we didnt concede those late goals against Bromley and Boreham wood, anyway couldnt be happier as we are doing far better than i expected up to now.

Absolutely made up. What a great win

Great day out. An immense performance from Barrow AFC. No fault of Dixon,it was a great double save. Mom Diarra. He is getting better by the match and marked Rhead perfectly. People might start turning up at Barrow now. Overjoyed.

Nor did I. I had this down as a certain defeat and Southport as anything from a defeat to a win. However, I did have a decent bet on Barrow to win the league before the season started based on the pre-season optimistic talk and Paul Casson's ambition. However, it's pretty obvious that Barrow missed a lot of their top targets (2 Lincoln players mentioned in the commentary today although I would never have wanted Rhead in any case and several others a couple who ended up at Football League teams) and I had given up on any chance of that bet coming in following the last 2 homes draws but, although I still don't think it will happen, it's looking a slight possibility again. If Paul Cox gets another couple of decent players which he's still talking about, who knows?

3 of next 4 league games are at home, let's get some points on the board boys and really make people take notice of us. Top result today well done all.

All the players are rightly over the moon ATM & We now always have a strong bench but with the Cup competitions & heavier pitches on the horizon added in with the yellow cards totting up slowly but surely, These next few weeks are ideal to add 1 or 2 more top quality signings to keep everything rocking.
Hope the fans flock to Holker St from now on

Brilliant today Barrow.

I would have been happy with a point before the game started; once the match began there was only going to be one winner - and it wasn't going to be Lincoln. Everyone in a blue shirt (or green in Dixon's case :) ) put in a Man of the Match performance.

And if anyone thinks Dixon was in any way at fault for the Lincoln goal - exactly what do you expect a goalkeeper to do?

For what it's worth, Joel is gaining in confidence and put in a faultless shift today.

Good to hear so many at the match putting the record straight on their goal. In the commentators defence though, they can only say it how they see it, that's their job to comment on something we can't see - plus they may have been in a slightly worse position viewing wise than many of our supporters.

Great result though and so glad things are slowly coming together. If we don't have a very good gate next week I don't know what will drag people in, we should be pushing 1,500 without counting whatever York bring.
We didn't underestimate them, we just didn't think they were that good.

Bit annoying to see BBC web site call it a shock win :(

It’s hands up from me (ye of little faith) . . . just seven short days ago I was one disillusioned man and just could not see this coming; not so much because of our position in the table a week ago (which was still very reasonable) but because of the way we were performing and the fact that we appeared to barely have any goals in us. Great credit to all for these last two results (and six goals!). After the terrible attendances at HS so far perhaps we can now hope for something very different next Saturday?

I would like to thank Fatt Rhead and Lincoln for turning us down. Therefor saving us a small fortune and enabelling Paul Cox to sign "Lord Byron" Harrison. If Carlsberg made transfers, "It would be the best non transfer in the world ever. " :lol: :lol:

Great result, Byron looking like a really good signing. Think PC brings the best out of the players.
Might have to fend off interest for Harrison & williams in January.
Last 2 home games quickly forgotten by 2 great away victories.
Roll on York. Hoping for a great crowd. York usually bring a few hundred. Corporate rooms already sold out.
1800 ???
