“STILL all to play for,” was the verdict of Barrow boss Paul Cox after his side could only draw with relegation threatened strugglers Woking, writes Bob Herbert.

“The dressing-room is a little bit disappointed – but we look forward to a very important Bank Holiday weekend.”

And he hinted that star striker Byron Harrison, who has been out injured since January, could play some part in next weekend’s Easter double-header.

“It is going to be a big week for Byron,” he said. “There might be that little ray of light where we could involve him – maybe Friday or maybe Monday.

“That would be a big plus having one of the best strikers in this level of football returning to our squad. The reaction will be very positive if we can get him back.”

Looking back at the Woking game, he said: “We deserved to get something out of the game. If we had had 11 men on the field we would have won.

“We are getting used to teams coming to Barrow and putting men behind the ball and trying to slow the game down. But when teams do come and sit deep, we have got to be a bit more clever.

“We have a lot of young players who, in certain parts of going forward, show a little bit of naivety.

“We have got to be more mentally resilient and a little bit more risky and take chances. That will come.

“We are still hanging in there. If we can put some points on the board over the coming weekend then who knows what will happen going into the last two games of the season?

“Look at the remaining fixtures. Something has to give. All the big boys are playing each other.

“Our boys are working extremely hard. They want to force the issue and want to be in the play-offs.

“When we got back into the game at 1-1 we were on top but we probably snatched at a few chances and that is unlike some of our players. They are usually decent in front of goal.

“With ten men and the heat, a few of our boys looked as if they were running on empty. We got sloppy, a little bit laboured and they made us pay for it. This group never know when to back down and after Woking scored again, we went up the other end and scored.”

He wasn’t totally happy with the officials, saying: “Right at the end I don’t know how the referee didn’t see Moussa (Diarra) being dragged to the ground in the penalty area. It was a big decision and once again we talk about referees and the lack of consistency. It was a blatant foul.

“And look at the time wasting. It was embarrassing but none of the four officials did anything about it. Even though it was hot we wanted to play at a high tempo but you need a strong referee.”
