Shocking result. 1 try at home.

[Gerry]

look on the bright side you won the 2nd half 4-0

Bloody shambles. No commentary. Surely something could have been rigged up old school with a mobile phone. Amateur Club.

Never gonna win a game if you leave your best two players on the bench and bring them on 18-0 down Phillips after 25 mins and Dion 30, Newton is not good enough simple! Gonna be between us and Town for relegation. Barrow played conditions well and deserved the win.

[Steven DeMont]

We need the pitches to dry up and quick. Barrow played the conditions better first half.

Why was the pitch such a mess? It looked as though someone had been driving on it!

Abysmal two derbys haven’t been up for either 18 points conceded in first 20 mins then couldn’t get out our own half for the rest of the half 2nd half a bit better but a lot questions need asked I was told to not worry until after this game is it ok to now? On this showing it’s gonna be a very long year and are streets behind last year it’s embarrassing 1800 people at the game today and let down by attitude and half arsed performances they need to buck their ideas up and fast let a lot of people down today I can take getting beat but the performance today I’m just lost for words

[lastmanstanding]

Shocking 1st half we didn’t look like we
did against Town no grunt and aggression. Barrow were faster and tougher than us, second half we looked
better but still well short of Barrow who held on when we got some go forward.
Think we will struggle this year unless we up our performance.

Barrow just did the basics right and we didn’t there’s was nothing there to say they are better than us just everything went there way

[havenfan]

Barrow were the better team, much more savvy than us and used the wind well with their kicking game especially in the first half.

Poor discipline and daft decisions made us work much harder than we needed to.

That being said, there was much more effort in the 2nd half and the team showed a lot of heart even if we still made poor decisions . Had any of the three disallowed tries been given it would have made it a different game.

P. S I hope the idiot who threw the smoke flare on the field is never allowed in a rugby game again whichever set of fans they were from.

[Recre Faithful]

Beaten by a team who were up for it, our discipline is shocking and we won’t learn. Game went wrong when Bullman dropped the kick off which he didn’t need to catch. Please please please start with your strongest 17 as 33 minutes to bring Callum and Dion on when the game was all but over. Jonty get it sorted quickly or people will find other things to do on a Sunday

Dismal first half . Discipline again was poor . In attack we were awful not that we had many chances . There kicking game was much better and deserved their lead.

2nd half was much better but sadly we lacked that cutting edge . First 10 we threw the ball to no one when in a dangerous position . When we did throw the ball about we looked quite handy . Maybe on a  dryer pitch it will suit our players .

Not hitting the panic button but I am beginning to wonder if Jonty is up to the task . Hope I’m wrong
