Squad

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.

Player ratings

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.

The dugout

Jack Earing keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Barrow AFC may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Player ratings

Isak Alemayehu runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 19. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match

Barrow AFC hit back inside 1 minutes

Tranmere Rovers held the lead for 1 minutes, which is not long enough to enjoy it. Barrow AFC answered before the celebration had properly finished, and the shape of the afternoon changed with it.

The dugout

No hiding place for Joe Anderson

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Joe Anderson, and the manager let it.

Squad

Words exchanged at Barrow AFC

Niall Canavan and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Match

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 dugout

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.

Squad

The knee: Danny Rose out for 36 days

36 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Barrow AFC lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

The dugout

Barrow AFC keep their word to Alexei Rojas Fedorushchenko

Clubs make promises constantly and the page usually only hears about them when they are broken. This one was honoured, and the dressing room noticed that faster than any supporter did.

Squad

Isak Alemayehu: “I am not a substitute”

“I have done everything asked of me in training and it has not changed a thing on a Saturday.” The most familiar complaint in football, and one Barrow AFC will have to answer with minutes or with a transfer.

The dugout

Jack Earing gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

The dugout

Killian Barrett asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Squad

The penny has dropped for Ryan Croasdale

He looks like a man who lives here now rather than one who is working here. It took most of a season, and at Barrow AFC the difference is visible from the back of the stand.
