    Understand the sentiment but that second half was a really difficult watch. We dropped so deep I thought we'd end up in Morecambe eventually. Just watched wave after wave of attack.

    Only real positive for me is Ridehalgh. Very little gets down the left side past him.

    Similar to us at home against FGR they didn't deserve anything from that game, did Salford deserve all 3 points at their place, did we deserve all 3 points at Mansfield, that's what makes football so unpredictable mate.

    If it’s a reserve Barrow side then maybe it’s an excuse we should start making about ourselves as for much of the season we’ve had 4-5 starters out injured. It’s a squad game I don’t like people making excuses for us when we have injuries, nor should we make them for other clubs.

    No sadly you don't think his position is under threat, so you'd be happy with yet another change of manager, he's the first manager since Phil Parkinson who is happy to tell it as it is, if that means running everything bring it on.
    He left Morecombe for a far bigger challenge than managing them in league one IMO. Ryan told us he did everything correctly during his pursuit of Adams, I wonder why the Morecambe chairman didn't fight a little more to persuade Adams to stay, he did with regards keeping Stockton.
    Not getting carried away with todays result Steve as you know nothing is a given with regards football we could go to Carlise next week play out of our skin and lose the game, but I'm more than happy to take all 3 points when we haven't played well, and I would hope deep down you feel the same ;).

    Good 3 points. Average at best performance.
    Lucky to not concede what appeared to be a good 2nd goal for them. Why we don’t appear to be able to block crosses in the first place I don’t know. Many examples of this. Poor effort / half arsed attempts to block crosses by Cooke gilleard and threlkeld in particular could have lead to goals. TBH I thought we were lucky today against a poor team. city need a good window and major improvement in the second half of this season. Otherwise it’s another abject failure to deliver on promises made to the fans at the start of the season. Ie promotion. It’s wearing thin. Many long standing supporters are in two minds for next season and despite what he keeps saying Adams results and football have fallen well short this season.

    Important result despite the performance. Understandable given covid effects/lack of games but then again we've seen many of those type of performances to believe it's necessarily a one off.

    Cook makes a huge difference so really important to have him back. Fair play to Gilliead, created both goals and was good defensively and he needed to be because Threlkeld was dreadful yet again. Wtf was that pass leading up to their goal?

    Don't know about anyone else but Songo'o continues to disappoint. Poor in possession and teams are still getting through our midfield in areas you'd expect him to be.

    Much work to do but good start to the year.

    ‘Never be enough’

    Don’t you think we’ve had it rubbish for years? Our fans aren’t glory supporters that’s for sure. Long suffering imho and deserve a bloody medal.

    The standard of Barrow’s ground was far from professional. Without doubt the worst shithole I’ve ever had the misfortune to visit.

    Your last eight words sum up my feeling. Succinct, to the point, game over, onto Carlisle.

    Why do I need to agree with you that today's win was remarkable? By extension any team winning today had a remarkable win.

    Of course you'd disagree, you're on the wind up as usual. If anyone doesn't agree with you then they're just wrong according to you. It's impossible for anyone to have a difference of opinion with you because any different opinion to yours is just wrong according to you. You're a bit boring really.

    Having a different opinion to that poster doesn't make us miserable. It just means we have a different point of view. Don't worry, let that poster clap for all of us!

    Tickets for City’s New Year’s Day trip to Barrow are now SOLD OUT.

    Derek Adams’ men will face the Bluebirds in their first outing of 2022, travelling to Holker Street on Saturday (January 1, 3.00pm).

    And 644 supporters will descend on Cumbria this weekend, with no more tickets available whatsoever.

    Tickets will not be available to purchase on the day of the game, nor will admission be available on turnstiles.

    Supporters are asked NOT to travel to the game without a valid ticket.
    https://www.bradfordcityafc.com/news/2021/december/barrow-v-city-sold-out/

    However if you are from the Furness area and are reading this, are happy to be with the home supporters, then this could assist. “Tickets are also available on the day from 12noon when you’ll be able to buy from the Ticket Office at Main Reception (card payment only) and from the Ticket Booth in the Fan Zone (cash and card).”

    This is two poor quality sides on show, neither who will trouble the promotion spots without activity in January.

    I hope he has a right back sorted. Threlkeld is a liability
