Well, that was horrible.
We got away with it at London last week and got found today. We were an utter shambles for 65/70 minutes of the game. Don't let that 10 minute fightback distract anyone from what was, for the most part, an utterly toothless attacking display. I lost track of the amount of time we put up a high bomb for Gill to contest. We looked absent of any creativity near the Barrow line for large parts of the game. Lets also not forget that Barrow played a quarter of the game with a man down as well. We were dreadful going forward today.
Crossley not playing the ball correctly with us in great field position to win the game is unforgivable. An absolute coach killer from our captain. Our discipline was very poor today with us being penalised multiple times for dissent giving Barrow easy field position.
Patton looked off it all game with a heavily strapped knee and Lilley never really got over the knock he took early in the second half. I felt we played better when Hall went to full back and we played a lot more expansively with him in support. Hall should start next week ahead of Kear.
It always hurts more when you claw your way back into it and still lose. It would have been the heist of the season if we would have won that game.
