Who knows? I think realistically a draw is the best we can hope so, so I'll predict 2-2. Sharp.

This is even more a case of "Who knows" than normal, and if I was actually gambling money on the game, I go for a Barrow win. However, always the optimist, a miracle will happen, and I'll say we will win 2-1.
I'm not sure what we do with wide men who are playing well, and then have a large drop-off in form. Donaldo points out Molyneux's slump, and what happened to Hurst's original developing talent?
If I was the manager I would really shake-up the front line and go with what the DFP suggest: Ephraim Yeboah and Kyle Hurst out wide with Joe Ironside up top. How about Bailey, Kelly and maybe Broadbent in mid-field?
It will be interesting to see what Grant does.
First goal by Hurst if he starts, or whoever starts of Ironside and Sharp if Hurst does not.

Ditto. Not confident at all. I'd be happy with a draw but think it's going to be another defeat. Something's not quite right in the camp. Though if the wheels come off barrow they'll get nowhere. I'll guess 2-2. Hurst, Sharp, Ironside.

Rovers 2-1 Barrow
Sharp to score ⚽

Expectations exceeded. Barrow were not nearly as impressive as their league position suggested.

One real positive was we did not have a ref that believed in the "no contact" game. He let play go on after challenges that some refs would have given a foul, and some challenges others would have given a yellow, he just gave a foul. His only real error was when a Barrow player slipped on the wet turf and he gave a foul against a Rovers player even though there had been no contact. I suppose from the ref's view point he could not see the distance between the players.
As far as the Rovers, we at least saw more enthusiasm and effort than on Saturday but not enough real chances created. Billy's effort that hit the bar was not easy for an average player, but one expected Sharp to hit the target. At times he showed a burst of speed that was amazing for one of his age - I hate to say that as I hit 80 in a few months!
Sbarra's miss was a far easier chance from a great cross from Billy, but he was the smallest player on the pitch!
Our defense was good except for early in the second half when a stupid back-pass from Olowu, and a couple of playing out-from-the-back by TS-L. Of course the wet and windy conditions meant players had to think more.
For Saturday, we have had good results in Grimsby - can we repeat that the year?

I thought Clifton's goal was Sharpesque. What a hardworking player he is!

I would have taken the result at 7.45 pm.
Let's hope that the sticky patch is over.⚽

According to their manager Grimsby are playing like AC Milan!
