Just had a read of the BN commentary. 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.

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.

@Rudy If Amaechi's done his metatarsal what kind of timeframe do you reckon we're looking at?

Depends which one and severity of the fracture. Usually wouldn’t be back training for at least a month

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.

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?

We don't even cater for home 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.

Just killing time now for transport to the airport for the 06-15 to Faro.

Blackburn at home next Saturday. Can’t see many Whites being up for this one, maybe 5k or 6k on including 500 dingles.

After the match Evs will no doubt say “It was nice to get the fans back in the building” 1-2 tert Roverrrrs. 
Full time just gone at Barrow, finished 0-1 and the relentless Whites remain unbeaten in pre season.

A weird one this. 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.

Blackburn got beat by Bratfud 2-0 today
