I feel sympathetic for Ian Evatt. Having known his Dad and Grandad for donkeys years and through this followed his career from playing Kids football, signing for Derby to present day his managerial career at Barrow. There he has managed to turn Barrow into a team playing in the Football League again.
However that is where it stops. If you look at harsh reality they were further in front a few weeks ago. Now its only 4 points. So therefore there is a likelihood that they will drop further points, in 9 yes 9 remaining games, and other teams lying in waiting ready to pounce.
Older bears can possibly remember the Pools Panel when they sat, when a number of games were postponed, and predicted how they thought the games would end up. Home Away or a Draw. These predictions weren't transferred to actual League points the games still had to played and only these counted towards the League Table.
To me the games have to be played unless it is Mathematically impossible for the team to caught, or teams to be relegated and have no possible impact on placings for Play Offs or Cup Qualification.
If the above can't be met then the competition must be declared Null and Void
