That Barrow match last season was a bad combination of factors against us.
People forget that Barrow were in the midst of a purple patch of form at the time.
But to me the game was given away down our right flank - after a long lay off Roberts returned after injury and was massively out of sorts - infront of him was the ineffective McGlashan who defensively was extremely poor.
Conceeding early goals compounded the problem - two of which came down their left flank against Roberts / McGlashan.
In all probability our worst 45 minute display at home all season - not sure it was tactics but rather underpar players pitted against in form fluent ones at the top of their game.
