6 saves: Alexei Rojas Fedorushchenko was the team
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 6 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Jake Richards, 19, steals the show — 7.72
Marked 7.72 at 19, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Honours even between Barrow AFC and Tranmere Rovers
1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

The view from the dugout
“We did not lose. Some weeks that is all you get, and I would rather have the point than not.” Matthew Jones chose the glass-half-full version of 1‑1; the supporters left with the other one.
