Re: Barrow v Forestgreen Rovers match thread

Feel sorry for Marriott as probably the quickest goal he has ever scored will now count for nothing!

It’s a shite draw don’t pretend it’s not
Nobody is saying that its a great draw, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't be trying to win both games!

Think its a bit too important to be thinking about giving first teamers a rest against a team from only one league below.

Re: Barrow v Scunthorpe match thread

I think last season and the poor start this season put people off. There is also financial constraints on people. The no cash on the gate will put some off. Yes they are improving, the way to get the gates up is to continue in this vain and importantly have a good cup run. Suprising how many turn u...

Re: Charlie McCann

What really is the point of this thread? I think it is reasonable to have an interest in players we have sold on (especially if there is a sell-on clause) as it might give us a better understanding of what went wrong last season. If they do well at their new club it might show that our set-up was t...

Re: MJ Gone

Perhaps it also comes on the back of one or two people reading too much into certain situations and comments, or lack of them, from the club! One or two slightly iffy performances seem , for some people, to obliterate the memory of many good ones in a poor team. Whether MJ stays or goes, he does not...

Re: Whitfield

For what its worth, I think quite a few on here are rushing to judgement at a very early stage. I can't comment on Saturday's game as I didn't see it, but from some comments you'd think we'd been hammered to a heavy defeat instead of coming away with a point. In my opinion an away side has zero obli...

Re: Barrow v Sutton utd match thread

I’d rather see the long ball so called anti football and a win than [SwearFilter] around with the ball all game and losing It’s a results game It doesn't have to be a choice between one or the other! Anyway, I thought we played some good stuff at times today, not sure what all the criticism of our ...

Re: Barrow v Sutton utd match thread

Maybe its just me, but I feel the criticism of Walker is a bit overdone. Yes, like most wingers he sometimes runs up blind alleys, but he still got some decent crosses in, particularly in the first half. He works hard, and is often available as an out ball for the defence. As for Ben Whitfield, that...

Re: Danny Rose

So you think if an employee is on let’s say £2,700 a week and can sit on it till his contract runs out. A team approach saying they want him but are willing to pay him £2,000 a week, he wouldn’t ask for a payout on their original contract to move on. It will of saved us money in the long run but ba...

I have been told HE HASN'T refused to train he was excluded this has come from two people I really trust and the person who wanted him excluded wasn't Murray as the saying goes you do the maths! 😀 I was shot down for posting after the Workington game that the decision Barkhuizen was surplus was not...

Re: Danny Rose

Not too fussed he's gone. Had the odd decent game, but despite the reputation he came with I don't think he did too much of any significance for us. He certainly wasn't the sort of action man the Grimsby fans talked about.
He'll probably get Exeter promoted now! 😄😄
