Glad he's starting Ironside instead of Faal, I'm still not sure about Faal, gangly, clumsy on the ball at times, shockingly bad at going for headers. I know he's young, and has a lot to learn, but I feel Joe is the better option up front to hold the ball up and give oppo defenders a hard time. COYR!!
-
Still Lawlor not fit enough for bench at least.
Biggins starts I thought he was poor last week Broadbent was better when he came on.
Marsh or Faal both gave the ball away last week not much to pick between them
-
It almost feels like we are back. Very positive about today. Not said that for almost 2 years
-
Optimistic but I’m aware we may well be making 2 steps forward and 1 back for a little while.
-
Good point about Biggins Steve, maybe GM thinks Biggins offers more of a goal threat, but Broadbent is stronger in midfield. Nice alternative's to have for our midfield.
-
No commentary on ifollow, anybody else with the same problem?
-
Does it not usually start nearer to kick off?
-
Unfortunately I have to miss the commentary today as off rowing. But I hope when I get back to see a 2-0 win! However, think I’d settle for a 2-2 draw!!

I’ve still got that sense of impending doom, might take a few more weeks to shift that

A 2-0 win would see Barrow with 3 points! Let's hope for a 0-2 instead eh? ;)

I hope you have an oarsome day, PR.
OK, I'll get mi coat.
-
Still nothing from the Rovers commentary. Pretty poor really.
-
2 minutes to go, oh I supposed I ought to talk to the fans, they might want to know what's going on.
-
Pathetic sort of service, the opposition ALWAYS are broadcasting way before ours can be bothered.
-
Is it Liam Hoden on commentary today?
-
And you still keep paying!
-
Rovers commentary on now. Couldn’t get it to work on mobile though for some reason, was no play button.
-
3' | First chance for Rovers as a corner drops on the edge of the box and Harrison Biggins takes aim with a first time volley but it's easy enough for the keeper.
0-0
COYR
-
10' | Rovers look to be working a set-piece routine from the training ground but it doesn't quite work out and Ben Close fires the ball out of the stadium.
0-0.
COYR
-
1-0
-
Bugger 1-0
13' | More on the goal, it's a first real chance for the hosts with a cross into the danger area from the left and Tyrell Warren heads beyond the grasp of Louis Jones.
1-0.

Got to look at the keeper there a floating ball in his 6 yard box and stayed on his line
-
Jeez
-
This is the reason we have to forget about having a successful season. We concede EVERY game without fail. Nixon's gotta do better to stop the cross and Molly doesn't track the runner. It really is pathetic defending week after week. We need to score next or its game over.
-
No mention of a second goal anywhere?
-
I'm guessing that was a clumsy thumbs posting..
-

There hasn't been one yet.

If it goes 2-0 we won't come back it what i am saying.

someone posted 2 nil then deleted it..

22' | It's been a cagey spell since the opener with Rovers looking to regroup as Luke Molynuex wins a freekick just to the left of Barrow's box.
1-0.
COYR
-

24' | Molynuex does well from the resulting set piece and fires the ball into the goal mouth but Barrow eventually clear their lines following a succession of Rovers crosses.
1-0.

27' | YELLOW CARD
Zain Westbrooke is the next to pick up the yellow card and Barrow have a free kick from 30 yards out.
1-0.

Need to get back on level terms while have the good spell
-
A cross in to the box and we concede, it’s like Groundhog Day.
-
32' | YELLOW CARD
There's a good passing spell for the hosts and it comes to an end with a Harrison Biggins foul.
1-0.

If that’s your attitude every time we go a goal down then you might as well Jack it in.

34' | So close for Rovers as Molyneux's neat footwork sees Tom Nixon with an opportunity to shoot and he sends the ball at goal but it's crucially deflected behind at the last.
1-0.

Wouldn’t be surprised if someone gets sent off today - Ref is waving the yellows around a bit to easily

That’s something that McCann needs to warn them and to use against barrow

Really have to be careful here, this ref is a red card waiting to happen. He is giving free kicks and yellows for anything.

I read your post. Your first thought when we go a goal down is that if we concede another then we won’t come back.

Barrow very solid defensively and we are just not being anywhere near creative enough to out manoeuvre them so far.

Sounds a pretty 50-50 game. We're in this.

4 fouls by us 3 yellow cards. Funny how I see persistent fouling against Rovers go unpunished many weeks.

At last, a positive post!…well done, Chris! :)
-
Half time 1-0
COYR
-
They could have had a couple sent off hopefully we can get in behind so they either let us in or pull us down
-
Not 50 50 at all, we are the better team, with all of the ball. The worrying thing is, they have had 1 cross and scored. Tom totally lost his bearings.
-
Molyneux has been the best player on the pitch by a distance. We need to keep getting the ball to him high up the pitch
-

Sums it up though for me molyneux should have done much better for the goal, his man got it.
We've been alright though I think just need a better final ball. Tricky conditions, pitch very poor and ref not helping.

A mate at the game has text me a message saying virtually the same as this.

That would make it 2-0 then wouldn't it. We concede every game and are notorious low scorers. The general play inbetween is great. 9/10 we are the better team but this is why we wont put put the points on the board required for the top end of the league. Its not an attitude, its fact. We were very good after the first 15mins. Damage was caused on our behalf before that.
-
That sounds more encouraging. As a disclaimer, I am listening to the Barrow commentators!
-
Keeper should be coming for what is a very average cross.
Nixon is poor. Yet to see him beat the first man from a cross.
I'd bring Rowe on for Biggins. Sort of game Faal would be useful in as conditions worsen instead of Marsh today.
We haven't been dreadful and could have had a goal by now. Molyneux best player going forward by a mile.

barrow comentry far better, who is our comentator hes very raw
-
There is one worrying problem I have seen for a couple of years now - lack of movement, the Barrow commentators are almost laughing how easy it is for their defence, it is also noticeable how frustrated Close and Westbrooke are when they get the ball - they lay it off and instantly have a go at the front 4.

I haven't read anywhere that he said his first thought was that we'd concede a second. The point being made is if we do concede again we will struggle as we don't score many at the moment. Fair opinion I reckon. Or is it too negative for some again.
-

Molly has them on toast. Balls are being played into the right areas but, strikeforce isnt potent enough. I would be seriously looking at bringing Roberts or Deji on, on the right and give us a threat on both sides. If we score, i feel we will win.

In defence of SA, just before he posted someone else posted that it was 2-0, a post that was later deleted.

55' | More on the goal, Louis Jones gives away a free kick for handling the ball outside the box and Ged Garner fires the resulting set piece past the wall and the Rovers keeper.
2-0.

That must be game over, Barrow don't concede at home.
-
If we were more free scoring, id be more inclined to think we could pull this back..

Sounds like another avoidable goal / individual mistake

Need satona on for marsh, seems out of his deprh at the minute

2-1 Ironside

Get in!

Comical goal for them.
2-1 Ironside, game on!

JOE IRONSIDE!!!
2-1.
58' | More on the goal, Rovers put the ball in from the left towards the back stick, it's headed back across the box and Joe Ironside is there to head beyond the keeper and into the right of the net.
2-1.
COYR
-
Good stuff Ironside! That gives us a chance.
-
Lets hope this rattled barrow....
-
4 changes … Rowe, Faal, Roberts, Broadbent on
-
4 changes! Protecting ourselves from the risk of a red and going for it at the same time

59' | First Rovers changes...
OFF: Ben Close, Harrison Biggins and Tom Nixon.
ON: Tyler Roberts, Mo Faal and Tommy Rowe.
2-1.
COYR
-
Yes Joey.
Didn’t sound like a game for Close or Westbrooke.
-
Games are never over until they're over.
-
And Broadbents first touch is blasted way over the bar.
-
Let's see something from Roberts. Hasn't really got going this season.
-
Gm really going for it with the subs, and saving yellows turning reds.
-
Fun Stat - that is the 2000th goal Rovers have scored in Tier 4 since it started in 1958-59

We will win this.

We have spent most of my lifetime in tier 4 (1957-present)

We’ve lost momentum since the subs.

Barrow OFF: Ged Garner and Dom Telford
Barrow ON: Ben Whitfield and Emile Acquah
Rovers OFF: Louie Marsh
Rovers ON: Deji Sotona.

Wrong subs. At least leave 1 of Close or Westbrook on to control the game.
-
Yet more atrocious refereeing
-
Wrong subs. At least leave 1 of Close or Westbrook on to control the game.
Guessing with them on yellow cards McCann didn't want to risk a sending off
-
I agree with wrong subs - I can understand it, the ref is appallingly bad, for both, but we have conceded control of the game since.
-

Totally lost the midfield with those subs. We’ve done virtually nothing since then bar giving the ball away continuously
-
82' | Rovers trying to find a route for an equaliser here but Barrow have every man behind the ball when the visitors come forward to get in the way.

Real lack of quality from Rovers.

What a disappointing game

End of game
-
We really are shite at the back.
-
We are shit at defending simple as,
No idea what bailey was doing then, i do wonder sometimes if anyone actually watches the loan players we get play
-
We're just too easy to score against.
-
McCann completely to blame for this defeat. Naive at best.
-
Tom has been losing his man all game, two goals are his fault now. The first one was a good cross, but Tom stil lost his man
-
I think we’ve been poor today, particularly second half. Very uninspiring performance and lacking any sort of quality in several positions.
-
Awful to watch. Nobody willing to put their foot on the ball, and as usual rubbish at the back.
-
They have only had 3 shots on target and have scored with all of them. We have had 10 shots, 3 on target and scored 1.
-
I was all for the 4 subs but we have lost our way completely since that happened. Low and behold we concede the 3rd. Praise this team all you want after last week but this was always on the cards. We simply can not defend. The manager has a lot to answer for the goals going into our net each week and the lack of at the other end. Its on him. His players.

Anderson missing in action for the third

Rovers throw everything forward in the last few minutes but goals from Joe Ironside and Mo Faal don't prove enough to take anything home.
