Rochdale 0 Barrow 0

MARK COOPER hailed Barrow’s battling spirit after keeper Paul Farman stole the show. Farman saved well after just two minutes to deny Tahvon Campbell, with the stopper also frustrating Jimmy Keohane, Max Clark, Eoghan O’Connell.

“I can never question the attitude or commitment of the boys – they were fantastic. They are desperate not to get beat and it showed,” Cooper said.

Rochdale boss Robbie Stockdale said: “We are creating and on another day might score one or two of them.”
