Clemence Hopes Bradford Draw Can Be Barrow’s Turning Point

Barrow, managed by Stephen Clemence, last secured a League Two victory on October 5. The Barrow head coach, Stephen Clemence, expressed optimism that his team’s hard-fought League Two draw against Bradford City could serve as a foundation for better outcomes. This point followed a series of defeats, yet it prolonged their league winless streak to eight games. As a consequence of this run, they have fallen from the automatic promotion positions to 13th place, with a home fixture against MK Dons scheduled for Saturday. Speaking to BBC Radio Cumbria, he stated, “It’s something to build on.” He added, “If you get points on the road and win your home games, then you are going to start moving up the table.” Robbie Gotts initially put the Bluebirds in a position to secure three points against Bradford, but Andy Cook’s equalizer ultimately prevented their victory. Nevertheless, Clemence commended his players’ demonstrated resilience in holding on. He remarked, “When they equalised in the 79th minute, we still had 15 minutes to deal with.” Clemence continued, “Maybe over recent weeks or the last month, we might have caved and lost that second goal, but we didn’t.” He concluded by saying, “That is a good hurdle to get over.”
