Got to my annual game and this was it.
It ws a very spirited performance from the lads - lots of grit & effort. There was a lot of hopeful hoofing and the forwards did a lot of running to get in behind the Barrow defence and to hold the ball up (James Mc looks decent but a wee bit weak on the ball, Denham was everywhere!). On occasion, however, there was some superb play - notably for the 2nd goal.
I felt that Barrow wouldn't score - even though they had a couple of close headers - and I agree that Williams & Welch were immense.
Joseph had a decent game but for the quality of his crossing, Brown similar.
Lawton and Danylyk worked their socks off and Densmore had quite some impact on the play behind the front two. Coates looked dodgy on a couple of crosses but he seemed to be conscious about dropping the ball away from the forwards.
The subs also put a lot of pace into the attack and did trouble the Barrow defence
The large gap between the forward two and the rest of the team showed the lack of confidence as the midfield seemed intent on covering the defence more than getting forward, but this did improve over the game.
The players obviously have a great relationship with Kenny Mc and they all seemed intent on getting us out of the mire. Luck was on our side - but we deserved the luck on that performance.
The reaction in the stand after the final whistle was as if we'd won the FA Cup - there's a lot of passion at Moss Lane.
