Barrow's results from their last two home games:
v FGR 4:0 v Sutton 1:0
Can they pull off the hat trick against promotion contenders on Saturday?

Oh that's right, you're on here following Elliot. Fair play, I'm sure we'll be following his career from a distance from now on too. UTG! Never know if we win promotion we might get him in on loan until January window. He’s brilliant for this level sure but I don’t think he’d walk in to Newcastle’s squad next season just yet. A very good young lower league player who will probably go on to play in the Premier league perhaps even England but small steps are probably his best bet. Most likely he’ll be loaned to a championship club next season though which is probably the level he’s at in his career.

We're still 2nd favourites to finish 3rd but this morning were probably 4th favourites. Barrow isn't an easy place to go so it's not inconceivable that Northampton will drop points. All we can do is take care of ourselves and see where that takes us. I'm sure the bench will know exactly what is happening at Barrow, if we need to go gung ho and go up via goals scored I have no doubt that's what we'll try & do. I'm convinced we'll see an attack minded team start the game although possibly not quite as attacking as the last 20 mins at Rochdale !!

Winning on Saturday is our only real chance of automatic promotion, if we go all out and lose, which is likely, then we won't achieve that. Despite being bottom of the league, Scunthorpe are not mugs, and are still capable of beating a team throwing too many players forward. Why are we likely to lose if we go all out to win, don't we start most home games with the intention of winning them? Regardless I doubt JB will be reading Gaschat this week in order to get tips on how he should approach the game from fans. 😂😂 loved the JB quote..

Northampton are in even better form than us? They are favourites, and should probably win BUT it won’t be easy. All we can do is win and hope.

But this is football and you always get drama - if Northampton win, then fair play to them tbf. But I have a funny feeling it won't be easy and they may draw OMFG roll on Saturday.... Buzzing!!!! And literally sh*tting my pants

lets face it Rovers always have lots of chances to score in any game that we play but the problem is that we don't take them. That will not get any better if the players feel under pressure to score a bucketful. Better to accept that we are now in the playoffs - kill the pressure- and just enjoy the day .

I thought we were top of the form table since we haven't lost for over a month. I like where we're at. Win on Saturday and I don't think we should be too downhearted if Northampton go up. We've not been 3rd all year so nothing lost. We are the form team going into the playoffs if that's the case.

The media only mention us when Barton is in court, or says something stupid in interviews. Quite often then. ...but its improving..

I don’t think kill the pressure is in Joey’s mentality. He’s a winner and if we need to up our game and take our chances. Cant see Joey taking the enjoy the day approach. Win the game, then get the goals we need. We will score a hatful one day. This is the time.
