Great Barwell effort hist upright. Let off for Ilkeston on 12 minutes. Then great move by Ilkeston wth several players involved almost brings reward. Much better now from Ilkeston. 15 minutes gone

Matchman · 28/1/2017 3:22 PM

Barwell keeper has to race out to clear. Even game so far with a lot of offsides.
Goal for Barwell on 21 minutes, scorer Callum Ball. 0-1

It's gone very dull and the lights are on. Ref accidentally in the way and sets up a Barwell chance.
Brandon beats offside trap but his shot is just wide. What a chance! 30 minutes 1-1.

Down comes the rain. Good pressure by Ilkeston. Barwell looking vulnerable to Atkinson's speed.Good work by Brandon in midfield. 40minutes 1-1.

Matchman · 28/1/2017 3:44 PM

Brilliant save by Eve keeps out close range Barwell header. And again Eve repeats his save. Two top class saves by Eve.

Matchman · 28/1/2017 4:06 PM

Dwyer on for second half replacing Luis Rose.

Matchman · 28/1/2017 4:09 PM

Barwell first to attack. Dwyer tangles with defender. Good chance for Barwell but it goes wide. Ilkeston not yet settled. Eve saves Ilkeston again blocking close range shot.

Matchman · 28/1/2017 4:12 PM

Dwyer inches wide from Ilkeston break. It looked like it was going in but went the wrong side of the post.

Matchman · 28/1/2017 4:17 PM

Barwell have started second half lively. Dexter creates chance for Morris but Morris fires wide. 55 minutes still 1-1

Matchman · 28/1/2017 4:19 PM

Eve saves again on 59 minutes. He's made several good saves.

Matchman · 28/1/2017 4:25 PM

Great run and cross by Dexter but Morris can't turn it in. Gordon having excellent game. Ilkeston penalty appeal correctly turned down. 65 minutes

Matchman · 28/1/2017 4:32 PM

Another Barwell chance goes begging.Barwell pressing Barwell keeper thwarts Dwyer on break. This could go either way.

Matchman · 28/1/2017 4:38 PM

Barwell looking more likely but Eve has been outststanding. Ilkeston attacks are becoming rare.as Barwell now dominate. 10 minutes left.

Matchman · 28/1/2017 4:42 PM

Dexter booked for kicking ball away in frustration. Goal Barwell close range header finally beats Eve on 82 minutes

Matchman · 28/1/2017 4:46 PM

Reece Horne replaces Connor Walters. .Ryan Head booked. 3 minutes left. 1-2.

Matchman · 28/1/2017 4:50 PM

We're into added time.

Matchman · 28/1/2017 4:54 PM

Ryan Head sent off after two seemingly undesrved yellows. The ref's decision for both yellows seem harsh to say the least. Full time and its another narrow defeat.

Ilkeston more than matched Barwell in the first half but Barwell had the better of the second half. Ilkeston spurned three really good chances; Clarke in the first half and Dwyer and Morris in the second half. On the other hand Dale Eve made some outstanding saves in both halves to keep Ilkeston in the game. Atkinson showed some good skills up front but was caught offside too often. He was also needlessly booked for kicking the ball away. One had to have some sympathy for Ryan Head who had a decent game and was most unfortunate to receive two harsh yellows for what seemed trivial offences. Barwell probably deserved to win for their second half performance but it was a good effort by the Ilkeston team which was recognised by the supporters at full time.

Ilkeston officials were made to wait for an explanation by the referee regarding the sending off of Ryan Head. Apparently the second yellow was for something he saw but others didn't. I'm not saying he was wrong but the first yellow was definitely harsh. Even the Barwell supporters around me said that.
Although away support has diminished somewhat, the ones that still go give magnificent support. No wonder the Ilkeston CEO made sure that the players thanked the fans before they left the pitch. Some of our away supporters took the opportunity of speaking with Nigel Harrop before the game.
