Goals from Jordan Stevens and Robbie Gotts have given Barrow a 2-0 half-time lead over woeful Town at Holker Street in this evening’s FA Cup second-round replay.
Wretched Town suffered yet another embarrassing FA Cup exit as first-half goals from Jordan Stevens and Robbie Gotts saw League Two Barrow to a 2-0 second-round replay victory at Holker Street. The Blues deserved little more having been woeful in a first half in which Stevens netted on 26 and Gotts nine minutes later. Town huffed and puffed after the break but never looked like getting back into the match.
Boss Kieran McKenna knows that winning tomorrow’s live-on-Sky local derby against Norwich City at Portman Road will be massive for Town supporters, but says he and his staff have sought to treat it as much like a normal league game as possible.
Conor Chaplin scored twice as Town beat Peterborough United 2-1, only their second ever victory over Posh at Portman Road. Chaplin’s flicked header gave the Blues the lead on 21 but Frankie Kent levelled for the visitors 10 minutes later, however, Chaplin won it with his 10th of the season in the 58th minute to send the Blues to the top of League One.
