No Edge in the squad, he must be injured.

it ought to be a cracker of a game which we are capable of winning.

As long as Gregson is not in the 17 & Max Roberts does not play in the pack. Props need to be Murray, Chapelhow, Billington &  Houghton. Lawton, Langtree, Wilde & Mc Whirter have to be in 17 if we are to win. We need size. Selection of small players against Oldham & Doncaster cost us. We cannot afford such selection mistakes again. Since we played them they have acquired the SL experienced Singleton & King always punishes us. Size required tomorrow. Edge will be a huge miss.

COYV!

100% agree with this ....barrow likely to have bullock ...singleton ...walker ...gillam as front row options ...Richards also although one is apparently being rested to make way for gillam ....will also have Robson and  king in back row ....all big units ....suicidal if we have gregson or Roberts in the pack ... they'll just roll right over us down the middle ...

Exactly what barrows coach has said he's watched how we struggled with Oldham and Donny and is going straight down middle to see how we cope -

therefore probably smallest pack we can find 🙄😂😂

Definitely our weak link Gregson rather have Mcwhirter or Hall there over him. I presume Mcwhirter is injured, and we need some loan players.

Why did Jack decide to go to the corner all he had to do was fall over the line ten metres closer 

AND why did the bring Connell back on at 38 mins!!!!

@pascal 

sure the commentators said that it looks like Fleming and mcwhirter could be out for the season - they mentioned another player but missed who it was

we are a bit thin on the ground now, prefer hall to gregson too

That is a shame bit possibly Sambou could be back soon? Looking at the squad it very thin now and decinitely need a few loan players. Good result today and lets hope we can make top 4. Doncaster played 3 less games than us could tbis take its toll come play off time.

A good win in the end, but the worst refereeing I’ve seen for years.

Did anyone see what Owen’s did?

And then why late hit and yellow?????

Luckily didnt cost the game as his wierd play has done too many times.

Some players have had 10 plus years experience...Owens has had one years experience 10 plus times

I also wonder if had Lawton ,another with same mindset as Owens, not restarted the melee and got a yellow would the ref have sin binned two Barrow players?
