LOWESTOFT TOWN FC V BARROW AFC.......predictions

[mall]

I believe their manager retires at the end of next weeks game after a hell of a long time in charge.
kirkham and wesham beat Lowestoft at Wembley not to long ago.
So,would Lowestoft rather see us as champions rather than kirkham ?.
Will Lowestoft wanna do well for their manager in his last game in charge ?.
tough one to call.

Lowestoft can't pick whether they're going to win or not. They might raise their game but if we raise ours we should have too much for them. I think people are giving Lowestoft far too much respect. I'm not saying we shouldn't respect them but let's not start worrying ourselves to death, they're not Barcelona.

Lets be honest it was always going to come down to the last day, it is Barrow AFC we're talking about here!
Fair play to Fylde, they showed great bottle yesterday after going a goal down. That said the last couple of games have piled pressure on Barrow as well and they have produced perhaps the best football they've played all season.
A long trip to Lowestoft isn't what most of us would choose as a decider but that's the cards we've been dealt and for what its worth I think its no trickier than Saturdays tie. Yeah they are in impressive form but they havnt come across the Champions elect in that time and when push comes to shove I question whether a mid table team with half an eye on their summer holidays can match the desire we've shown in the last two games. Having said all that I don't think it will be a walk in the park.
I have a feeling there will be no early goal to settle the nerves this time. Instead we'll have to wait to the start of the second half before a late goal settles it and sends the 400 or so Barrow fans home very loud and very happy. One thing is certain though, its going to be a long week in the mean time!

Lowestoft unbeaten in last 10 home league games so not a easy game just get it won go for the win Sheridan replacing Lacey only change needed ,up the blues.

Personally I would bring back Burnsy and move Cowps into midfield to do the Paddy Lacey role and get Paddy to do the pre match team talk

Totally agree with that Mark
Love or hate Paddy he has done a brilliant job for us this year with his 100% commitment, we will certainly miss him in there next week, push up Cowps and bring back Burns sounds good to me, 1-3 and 250+ from Barrow

[Jonty]

Sheridan to replace Lacey, alongside ARH. Keep Cowps at RB now. As little change to the side now as possible to keep the balance of the last two games.
Nothing stupid Barrow. Just go there and get it done.

[russell_anderson]

I would hope that the importance of this match will mean that the Barrow team will travel on the Friday and stay overnight. Does anybody know if this is the plan?

[Van Der Nipper]

Yes the team are staying in Norwich.

[behind the goals]

Should go on the trust bus and save some money

[Suffolk bluebird]

Massively excited for next weeks game and I'll be arriving early for ensure I get a ticket because Lowestoft say there is only 500 away tickets available which is likely gona be filled twice over despite the long distance. They are expecting a full house.

The ground apparently holds 2250 and the average crowd is 629.Even if we bring 500 that's only half full and there is no segregation.There will be Barrow fans all over the ground.Everybody who wants to see the game should get in!!!!!!!!!

Where's this 500 thing come from?
I don't think we will have 500 there anyway.

Lowestoft can't pick whether they're going to win or not. They might raise their game but if we raise ours we should have too much for them. I think people are giving Lowestoft far too much respect. I'm not saying we shouldn't respect them but let's not start worrying ourselves to death, they're not Barcelona.

+1, if we can't beat them, we don't deserve the league title.

Agree if we don't win we should refuse promotion and award it to Fylde even if they come up short as well.
