Yes, it's really irritating . Why bring Akinola to the club than play Widdowson at CB . Square pegs into round holes again and we've already seen that this doesn't work .

This is dire. We haven’t put two passes together all half.

Ling has adopted anew defensive tactic. Instead of standing 15-20 yards away from the left winger, he is now getting about 5 yards away but then maintains that gap as he retreats as his opponent advances. It’s actually worse than the old policy.

Nice that Barrow have allowed fans in 👍

Vigaro made a cracking save from the free kick after Happe was sent off and has kicked well despite the atrocious conditions.

But that’s it.

Was initially watching with the sound off and I thought it was a yellow for Happe. One of those 50/50 red yellow ones. Probably a tad harsh. Johnson is working hard and having a good game. The rest, meh.

Let's still be positive, according to BBC stats, we've had 2 shots on goal of which 1 was on target. There have been occasions where both stats have been nil at half-time. :roll: :roll:

Why bother bringing in a CB on loan when we can play a full back out of position 😡
