May I say thank you to KLD for that excellent match report.
The sort of thing that I really enjoyed reading.
Details and not platitudes.
It goes without saying that the lads tried their best, of course they did.
What matters is what happened and if possible why it happened.
Why are we struggling in attack?
Why did we fade so badly last year?
These are the issues ... not trotting out lame cliches like coaches do.
What have players like Smeaton and Ricketts and Carter brought to the table?
It would seem very little thus far ...

It seems our decision to sign players of a lighter stature in the forwards is our downfall on these muddy fields.
Other than Peltier, our props would struggle to break wind never mind a solid defence.

Next week for me is do or die for Spiers and Boyle a poor performance from either and I would be into the loan market like a shot.

Did anyone listen to the match commentary on BBC Radio Cumbria
the Barrow coach Paul Crarey was the co commentator.
You might still be able to listen to the match on BBC Radio Cumbria Listen Again catch up.

Feels like a missed opportunity.

Wouldn't we have had a different ball number than Workington .

Chance that it could be Castle Park, the Knights are at home on March 14th, if there are no problems getting the ground ready it could be played the following day. Just a guess, and if so, like Wanderer says that is a real missed opportunity.
