Barrow 1 Morecambe 2 [Wildig, Mellor] LIVE THREAD

[dannymorc1]

We are giving them every incentive to go forward, hope we don't pay the price!

[Keith]

Letheren saved really well, turning the ball on to the post and the rebound falling nicely for us. Barrow commentator said "I was just thinking, we can get a draw out of this".

We need a second goal to kill this game off.

This is a very, very familiar performance now. Go 1-0 up, then sit back and try to hold on. The way things are going they're going to score around the 60th minute, maybe grab a second, and then we'll finally start attacking again for the final 10 minutes.

Called it

[Keith]

Can't say it wasn't coming.

[Keith]

GET IN!

[tim-sanchez]

Get in!!! Incredible how different we are drawing vs winning, lets hope we learn our lesson and double our lead this time

[RapidShrimp]

Was just about to comment how we’ve done fairly well this second half and unlucky to find ourselves conceding to that chance without scoring one of our good chances, but Mellor gets us back in front instantly! What a response!

[Keith]

Now keep attacking Barrow. They look poor at the back and we're far better when we go forward, so stop playing deep. ATTACK!!!

[tim-sanchez]

One good thing about listening to home commentary is when we're winning the schadenfreude is fantastic. "Now there's no reason we can't win this" he says as we take the lead

[Born again Bill]

Great response but still need another to be comfortable

[dannymorc1]

Come now, let's keep going forward. We need more goals!! GD still negative.

[tim-sanchez]

I can't believe we're sitting back again on a one-goal lead, when will we learn? I hate being negative when we're winning but it's so frustrating to watch

Gotta say these commentators, and the Bradford ones, have been very good. Although these barrow ones are quite critical of their team and setup, which you don’t normally hear.

[dannymorc1]

Bradford written all over this. We're making them look much better than they are. Should be winning this by a mile.

[halfwayprawn]

oh for gods sake

[dannymorc1]

What a strange substitution.

[tim-sanchez]

Stockton's been excellent but I don't mind the sub necessarily, Slew looks fine as a central player.

What I'm more worried about is that we've dropped Songo'o into CB, we're clearly sitting back. I think Songo'o is much more effective as a midfielder breaking up play.

It's DA's way of playing. They must be playing to instructions.

[Born again Bill]

Good god can't letheren not keep the ball on the pitch , his distribution is shocking

[tim-sanchez]

Yes! Very relieved with that win, we deserved it but it should have been much more comfortable. I think Barrow might be the worst team I've seen this season, they looked very poor.

[BigRedOne]

We made hard work of that .

[dannymorc1]

Boy do they make us suffer! Great result in the end. Well done lads.

We were warned when D.A. came, he likes to defend 1 goal leads !

Frustrating & anxiety provoking, but that's fine when it works. Barrow almost nicked a draw and possibly even deserved a point. Good to get three points.

38.4% possession.

Absolutely right. A heart stopping way of playing and it doesn;t always work BUT we are 4th in the league.
