Useless scored for us.

which one?

If "Useless" Craney scored, what does that make those who didn't score - especially attackers such as Mullin, Clarke, etc. The Barrow unofficial forum says that if that was our first team (and I don't know if it was, though the fishy site might tell us!), we should be very worried.

Quite depressing overall today. Barrow were well in charge in the first half, where they not only scored twice (via Stanley 'reject' Jason Walker), but also hit the bar and the inside of the post. We didn't create anything, other than some poor shots from distance.

Second half was slightly better, not because we'd improved, but because Barrow seemed to let up and come down to our level.

The goal we scored was a Craney free-kick, but we created nothing from free play and as I said last week, I just don't know where the goals will come from.

The most worrying thing for me was when you looked at the bench, we had nothing there either. I know some people think that I always look for the negative and I admit that sometimes that is true, but today I saw some very worrying signs of what there is to come starting next week.

Anyway, here's a nice picture from today.

To add to the humiliation, some old bloke seriously asked us if Stanley had sent their reserve team. He couldn't believe that the players on the pitch were the best we have.

If I was you I'd be more worried if it wasn't the first team playing than the result. I know Coley says they have crammed a lot of fitness training in but there's hardly been an abundance of matches to tone up on match fitness has there ?

Barrow beat what they say was an Oldham first team the other night, so maybe the result wasn't that bad. In friendlies the lower team does tend to try a bit more than the higher team, especially at home.

the team further up this thread was the team that played today

Joking aside if it was ours, the way it's going we would just about fill it with home fans by the end of the season.

Looks like we can expect a good result against Everton (Reserves).
