$6m, probably the fault of the chap behind who said he wouldn't relax until we scored a second. Unfortunately, the team heard him and went into relax mode

Jackson doesn't know WHEN to make substitutions. He is reactionary, not proactive. He waits for something to happen rather than pre-empting and preventing it, be it with substitutions or charge gf tactics.

Nobody sticking their hand up then?

We do like making it hard for ourselves.

arghhhhhhhhh!

That's not bad a4e - the predictorships table based on form I look at has us bang on 76 pts (to play County in the play-offs, finishing 6th with 75pts)

Nick - latest form table shows Bradford, Donny and Vale in the top six (form-ways) over the last 6 matches. Walsall near the bottom. We're about 14th. So some teams are getting it right, at the right time. The problem for us is we've not really yet arrested the dip - two wins on the bounce would have given everyone including the team confidence we were properly on our way back (and an away draw next week would be seen as an excellent result, for example; at this moment in time it feels as though only a win will make up for today)

*24th

mackie - my 24tb Feb Fishy of 6th on 76 points is still viable, maybe even optimistic…. 😯

Suppose we are a goal or even two down in the 88th minute next week and the opposition get a corner. How many men will we leave up in the belief that a chance of getting one back is worth more than the risk of conceding again?

Form predictorships tables have us finishing 5th

Only one team wanted to win in the end and it wasn't Jackons.

All the promotion contenders are mis-firing. Look at the lead Walsall have squandered

Newport, Colchester, Barrow - 6 points right there, we’d be 1 point off top… 🙄🤦🏻‍♂️

Ogundere for Hutchinson was fine, If Browne had to come off, Kelly was the wrong replacement, neither fish nof fowl. As for Furlong for Tilley, words fail me. And we didn't pack their box for that corner, we had three back plus Reeves a few yards outside their penalty area. They had left two up and after Lewis's missed tackle they had two on two. The faukt was that it was a silly corner, Reeves should have come across and had Furlong pass back to him.

6 points off not having a playoff place they are not a guaranteed consolation prize for us.

A real trend over the past few months when at home is teams coming for presumably at best a draw, go behind but rather than us then controlling the match the oppo throws everything at us ... and we just seem to fold. The first goal today for Barrow came at the end of some good passing from our rubbish corner as they moved up the pitch at pace. The second goal was again them pushing forward quickly after winning the ball while our defence just got in the way of each other. Maybe it's due to a 'nothing to lose' attitude from the oppo, which we just don't seem to be able to deal with. Or it's that we simply panic. But it's not a sign of our having our own destiny under control.

Forget the play offs. If we don't go up automatically then we won't go up.

Last 4 home games = one good performance vs Notts C but two weak defeats and a throwing away of a two goal lead, all 3 against poor sides.. no wonder that we are all so fed up. Weirdly, we could still stumble into the playoffs, as most of the other sides at the top seem to be in poor form too, and once there who knows what may happen.

OI - I respectfully disagree that Lewis was MOTM today. Pressley gave him a torrid time.

9 points from 8 games,just amazing we are still 3rd, . 8 games left keep the same form might just get 7th place.

OI - Hutchinson was grabbing his hamstring so needed to come off. Browne looked like he was also carrying a knock from that assault by their number 5

We were asking for that all game, not just the last few minutes, a neutral would have guessed that Barrow were the team with something to play for. No ideas apart from pass along the defence a couple of times and then hoof it long to the opposition. I'd have had Lewis motM if he hadn't given the first goal away with a ridiculous challenge on the halfway line, so I'll withhold the award altogether. Two of the three substitutions were very negative as well.

It wasn't a poor performance up to the point we went 2-0 up. Barrow had had one chance and no shots on target and we were leading. We were getting the job done. We fell apart. I can see why Hutchinson and Browne went off - both were carrying knocks. I do not understand why Furlong came on. Barrow got lucky today.
