Barrow form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Barrow so far with only 10 points returning home. The records show 3-1-10 (win-draw-lose).

Two travels in a row for Barrow, whose manager M. Jolley could celebrate last time after the League Two win against Oldham Athletic. Preceding that, the 1-2 home loss versus Morecambe.
