Dunn joins (Blackpool) (Barrow) Fleetwood

[LeftWinger]

They've gone 3-1 up against Bolton after 20 minutes. Assume Dunn still isn't allowed at the games?

Is that why they're winning ?

Finished 3-3

Barrow have been in good positions and just can’t buy a win!

[Tom]

Another draw for Barrow after being 1-0 and 2-1 up yesterday, either they aren’t far off and are unlucky or they have a soft underbelly!

I think they've drawn all their home games.

Morecambe Bay derby this evening. 

Occasions like this really must hurt the fans not being able to be there for their first ever meeting as league sides.

Fair point. I must say that watching Rovers beat Preston in front of an empty stadium watching on a laptop screen, I was made up and very happy of course but at the same time I was a bit gutted not to be there.

[Tom]

1-0 loss tonight and 2 wins in 15 but still above a few others

He needs an upturn in results though or Dunn may not see January!

[frosty]

His win percentage overall as a manager - Oldham and Barrow - must be in single figures.

Sounds harsh. You'd think they'd just sack him.

Oldham and Barrow is 5 wins out 40 - so 12.5%.

He won 2 out of 4 at Blackpool though as well - so that bumps him up to 15.9%

BBC saying he’s been fired from Barrow. 

[GHR]

Confirmed by the club themselves about an hour ago. Judging by social media it's quite a popular decision!

Will be interesting to see what happens next for both parties.

I'm not surprised. As a manager he has demonstrated hopeless ability.

[A Northern Horde...]

This Manager lark is not for you dear Dunny...better off propping up the watering holes of snuffy 'Arrod!

[JHRover]

Surprised Barrow can afford to fire him. I keep hearing about how due to closed grounds and the pandemic that paying off a manager isn't possible.

In all seriousness I expect that will be the end of his managerial career. Distinctly poor record at both Oldham and Barrow. To be honest I was very surprised they gave him the job in the first place. They're still outside the drop zone so must not have much confidence in him turning it around.

[tomphil]

The impression i get of him is that he'd make a good coach but not manager.

Probably needs to 'get real' in his ambitions.

Like it!

[Tom]

Not surprising, his team seemed to regularly implode and have just the 2 wins.

David Hopkins the manager at Morton has just resigned to help the club financially and safeguard the playing squad for the club . Clubs are brassic ..

He seems to have moved on from those boozers now, I’ve seen him boozing in Whalley and Clitheroe a few times though...

I've got to know a bit about Barrow through a pal of mine, who's son plays for them. Some of which surprises me.

To say they're skint, they hire a training ground in Middleton, Manchester because all their players are based round Lancs, Manchester or Cheshire. They stay in plush hotels, the night before every match home or away, travel either first class train or fly to away games etc..

Paying Dunny off won't be a problem, even little Barrow and those associated with it, live in a completely different world to the one we all live in.

So they're flying or first class training it to games and rovers are bussing it? I find that hard to believe
