Maybe our toughest home fixture of the season. Looking at various posts on Barrow they seem to be at their most dangerous on the counter attack. Something I'm sure we are aware of.

Those 37 of us who made the trip to Holker Street in October (perhaps the last time for a while) saw a decent display and Barrow rather fortunate to get all 3 points.
Needless to say that a team 7 points clear at the top of the league isn't going to be easy and part of that is the fact they are very good on the road - only Dover have a better away record in the league this season. Dover have also been their last 2 opponents in the league where the home side won on both occasions.
For a team that have won 20 out of their 34 league games, I'd be really happy if we got a point out of this.

No i think all three points are a distinct possibility on our own 3G and there are no outstanding teams in this division this year.Barrow have been more consistent than others but they certainly are not a Leyton Orient or a Salford City.

One consequence of last weekend's postponement is that the final match of Craig Eastmond's suspension carries forward to this game.
We last played three weeks ago (at Ebbsfleet on 1 Feb). Barrow have played three games since then. Matt seemed confident in his pre-match interview that this wouldn't be a factor tomorrow.

We always seem to raise our game when playing the top teams.
Have we ever been really slaughtered against a top team?

Blessed is the person who having nothing to say abstains from giving us wordy evidence of the fact.

Massive point today!! HARRY BEAUTYMAN! His first goal was a beauty, man.
I love the pace of Alaofe as well. Great loan signing by Matt. |

Superb second half from the boys, today. Full commitment, real belief, not a weak link.
Barrow are a very tough team and if they go up it'll be well deserved. But we had them in that half.
Great match for telly, I'd guess.

Really enjoyed the game under the lights. Such a spirited and determined fightback against a very good team. Good vociferous support from the Barrow fans although they became quieter in the second half !

Thoroughly enjoyable game. Barrow showed they were a very good side in the first half and after it went 2-0 you feared another 1 was coming before ht. In fact it went the other way and we got a vital goal back with the last kick of the half. Excellent 2nd period and could easily have won it, twice striking the woodwork. Brilliant spirit, work rate and no little skill shown in the 2nd half. Thought both wide players were good, Rob Milsom did exceptionally well in the centre where Harry also came to the fore. The front 2 both put in a big shift. If we want a blueprint for the rest of the season that 2nd half was it.

Really enjoyable match, absolutely brilliant effort in the second half. Proud of every single one of them.
Hats off to the Barrow fans, decent numbers, loud in the first half and fair to say far noisier than they were at the reverse fixture earlier in the season.

You got that spot on although it was a shame we just couldn’t find the net with the great chances we did have once we got going. I did think that with Barrow when they controlled the game as they did in the first half they were unstoppable, but come the second half and we went forward and harried them they seemed to lose composure and didn’t like it up’em. To succeed in the EFL you’ve got to be consistent in both halves. |

One of the best matches of the season so far. Barrow looked a good team in the first half but seem to wilt after we got the first goal. Must watch it all back on the TV later. I think they will win the League and i certainly won't miss a trip to Holker Street.  |
