Seems that corners are still an issue- not creating anything from them. Anyone there confirm? Had one second half that was fairly threatening. So many attempts at short ones either broke down or wound up going back to halfway. These are the games to try it though. Actually a really enjoyable occasion tonight. Really wasn’t expecting such a decent gate, and it really was played as a ‘proper’ game with a few meaty tackles and bookings. An advert for a pre-season Lancashire Cup if nothing else.

Site Supporter superjohnmcginlay Posted July 20, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted July 20, 2021 Loved that, thought that period after extra time was really good football. Sheehan is top notch for me. Brilliant to hear the fans. Brilliant to have a pint ordered at a bar, even if it was slow cos she didn’t know there was a game on and even better for a pie at half time. happy days.

Site Supporter desperado Posted July 21, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted July 21, 2021 Real plus points yesterday. Gordon looked a different player, on that showing more than a decent stand in for John Jones equally as effective on the right. Santos and Baptiste picked up from where they left off last season. Sheehan looked quality, as did MJ. Amaechi looked really threatening until he went off and actually we didn’t look any worse when Delf came on for him. Good showings too from Sarce and Dapo. Bakayoko will be a different option to Doyle, he won a few headers/flick-ons that came up to him and has a bit of power and strength. But the best showing was from the fans, as SJM said above great to be back, super armosphere for small crowd, never heard Preston once.

Site Supporter MickyD Posted July 23, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted July 23, 2021 Just arrived. M6 is renowned for being shit around Jncts 16-19 but fuck me, From getting on M6 from M65 it was stop-start all the way to A590 turn off. All down to dickheads on their way to lakes deciding they’ll saunter along at 50mph preventing HGVs passing. For that reason, I’d give yourself an extra half-hour or so to get here. Spoke to hotel receptionist, a Barrow fan, who reckons there’s plenty pubs around the ground for away fans. Is it only Bolton who don’t cater for away fans very well?

Not many immediately around the ground but only a short hop from the town centre. Shame Leigh White will be in Portugal rather than giving the guided pub tour in his role as Lord Mayor of Barra. Only finishing work at 12 so hoping the traffic will be kind. Car cans at the ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full time just gone at Barrow, finished 0-1 and the relentless Whites remain unbeaten in pre season.

No one wants to lose- winning always makes you feel good, but very successful pre seasons don't necessarily translate into great seasons. Jackburn will be a test, but important not to get too excited either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
