17/18 VNL - Barrow 0 - 1 Maidstone Utd

[blue nige]

We haven't been hood winked, I genuinely believe (despite all the crap they come out with now) that Paul Casson wanted to get us promoted, he just didn't realise how much it would all cost. Cost FGR £10 million to get promoted

That's total rubbish he was made fully aware of the cost of getting out of this league when he at first took over.

[Bingo]

Radio Cumbria talking relegation, they would love that - they love stirring up shit

We have 33 games left yet and probably a top 10 budget - I'm certainly not throwing the towel in just yet

[blue nige]

Few regular posters who are quiet tonight

That'she because previously they tried to intimidate /humiliate certain posts because they were too close to the truth and even they can't defend the manager or that pathetic second half display!

[Soulboy]

You're correct about radio Cumbria. James Phillips can't hide his pleasure when he talks about our club having problems.
Carlisle get loads of coverage.
Anyways we're still in the duchy of Lancaster se

You can't blame them that's how most of us feel, as for the budget do you trust us to spend it wisely?
I'm sorry but at present this squad have no fight in them and they know that we realise that.
I don't know if you have been to the last 3 home games if you did you might have a different view!

[Soulboy]

The age old saying of putting a good shift in doesn't apply at this current time at holker street and away. Paid a lot of money these lads. They need to earn it or clear off

I was at the Torquay game and at Sutton last Saturday - I can't say I'm impressed, if we had 5 games left I'd be getting worried about relegation, think we will be ok.

[Lowtower]

We wont get relegated.

We wont finish better than 7th either.

[Soulboy]

If we get a Manager who knows what he's doing and sets the standards off and on the pitch( rules a few ex ones out...edmo inc)then we can climb the table and who knows? Lots of games to come however I'm not the only one to see and feel things are not right. Apathy, lack of confidence, no pride in playing, no leaders, no connection with the fans, no responsibility, weak manager who lets them not warm up etc. This is evident to see and it's no wonder disappointment results.
The reality is here..... ostrich syndrome to be ditched along with fans syndrome. Take some big decisions owners and save the club of the people.

If we get a Manager who knows what he's doing

At the moment it seems as simple as signing a left midfielder (hopefully with some serious pace) and we could play 4-4-2. In Dunne, Barthram and Jones we have 3 decent defenders but I'm not sure any are really comfortable in this system

[Soulboy]

We have injuries to key players. Yussuf will come good. Nieskins and moussa vg together.
We haven't conceded many goals so far but need to create and score a lot more.
532 doesn't work. Players not used to it and too many gaps on flanks.
442 away and 433 at home ?
Fitzgerald needs to play out wide with maybe Harry on other side or up top at home.
Return to effective tactics not total hoof ball but play percentages and use height.
We have some vg players but they need a kick up the arse and some direction

[mall]

By the time those 'key' players come back we are gonna be well and truly in the mire, then it'll be too late.
The writings on the wall,been going to Holker st long enough to see that.
Its not the manager's fault,-truth be told I feel bloody sorry for him,-its the fault of the people who installed him.

[Soulboy]

Yes they installed him but he wanted the job.
Therefore I don't feel sorry for him.
He's seen an unforeseen opportunity And jumped in. By his body language and words he is not up to it. He's paid like the staff to perform like any job. Yes the writings on the wall as you state but we need a solution yes?
A manager has to stand up and take responsibility for poor results as well as the accolades for good ones... we were promised a better manager than Paul cox...... time for owners to redeem themselves and actually bring a better manager. Moore is out of his depth.
Come back coxy?

[blue nige]

You're missing one big part goals yussuf will never be prolific and he's injury prone we haven't replaced Bennett and Williams not withstanding their goals their work ethnic puts these imposters to shame.

[Soulboy]

Bennett may return on loan or transfer?
He's not scored once and got sent off yesterday. The "fans" up there don't like him either especially cause he came from us.
Hope he returns.
I did mention not scoring enough.
Yussuf has always scored....he will deliver.
Williams stays on bench unused at dale...can we get him in too?
Anderton doesn't get on bench at tangerines.
You're correct in work ethic. Money on false pretences? Can't see Mickey Mouse shouting at them afterwards.... he doesn't do it during play.
Conference north the plan then?
