A clash of two limited sides . Not expecting much for the second half

Just shows how hard the club have stuck it in reverse this season - reletively happy with effort being shown, even though based on that 1st half performance, the best you would probably expect based on chances on goal is a draw.

No matter what improvements we see for the rest of the season, papering over the cracks of this shit show of a season is just not possible - and this is why we need to hear from the club on what the fuck they are going to do about it, if anything.  Giving one of your youth prospects his first pro contract won't cut it, and if they think it will, we have bigger problems than we thought.
Even Sandro is here today, all the rumours of ‘good news’ just seems like a load bollocks. Seems like they thought the EFL award and the youth contract would be enough to make us all happy again.

Barrow dont look a side challenging for the play offs, they lok a very limited side but are creating chances on the break still.

We know we are a mid table side, the game is not beyond us but we need a bit of luck to win this. Not creating enough chances.

Not saying this is an end of season piss about, but the Barrow keeper just did a 360 spin before taking a goal kick for... no reason at all.

I also don't think its a coincidence that we have gone 4 at the back and look a better side today.

Makes it even more frustrating that we found a way to fuck up a season in such a poor league in which in previous seasons we would comfortably be in the play off spaces at a minimum.

Absolutely, this seasons league is as poor a standard as I think I have seen us participate in.

We should easily be in the play offs, even with this limited squad.

When he first came into the team McEachran was a good dead ball taker, that seems to have disappeared recently.

I think the reason why Williams stood out in the first half is because he is the only one moving and pulling the defence around. Everyone else wants to receive the ball motionless and play a slide rule pass to a static partner. Williams looks to be trying to run into space.

Austin drifting wide a lot, he's put a couple of decent crosses in, but you really want him in the box rather than delivering into it.

RHM goes to ground in the box, no penalty though.

Reputation precedes him, you'd imagine. Didn't think there was very much in that. Nice ball forward from Hutton to him though!

Town stepping up a bit in the second half.
