Our entire club is down in the dumps at the moment but I reckon a new manager (who isn't Micky Moore-esque) will sort it. The new manager will be sorted soon and we can get rid of those who've used us for a wage and can't be arsed. It's hard atm but we have got to keep positive. A lot of vitriol aimed at the club for the way they manage things but this is a chance to get it right. E.g. Just look at Forest Green. Spent £££ but struggling now. Lots of people were green with envy at the money doesn't guarantee success. It helps and stuff but is it worth £5 million spunked just so we get to play Gillingham.

The Cassons have a big chance to get it right and if we announce who I am anticipating (thanks sources and Barrow Twitter cock ups #NotYet) then we will be fine. Apologies for waffling on but thought it's about time we started looking forward with positivity.

If the preview hasn't lied to me then my cryptic clue will remain intact too :lol:

...yes I am bored.

I would've said before...in fact, definitely.

I sat at the last Q&A session that he did knowing that he was not answering some fans questions with (lets say...) the full facts. If he had then there might not be as many on here thinking he was the equivalent of some sort of football messiah. He answered fans questions with the "right" lines. Laughable.
We didn't underestimate them, we just didn't think they were that good.

It probably reads easier for people on mobile. The answer is actually in there.

Not being privy to all the information about Cox and Ogden that others seem to be (and if the club had all these problems with Cox why not say so when he left?) I still can’t see we would be struggling as badly as we are with Cox still in charge

Re Cox Quote from Guisley Web site
Quote"I have neck ache after that. Probably the worst game I’ve seen for many a year at guiseley. Even with less talented footballers we have always played ‘football’ not head tennis and hoof it!!

If that’s the game plan in October my god I will have lost the will to live by December!!

We have people capable of changing games but the tactics will never allow them to do so. Very disappointed but will persevere and hope it gets better.

If we can field a 4-4-2 with:

Moore
Barthram Dunne Diarra Jones
Fitzpatrick Gomes *New Midfielder* *New Winger*
Yusuff Harrison

We'll comfortably stay up. Of those, three are injured and one suspended, so getting them back and keeping everyone fit and playing is vital.

All about opinions this game but mine is that Barthram looks poor, Fitzpatrick has barely played and Yusuff looks uninterested at times. I think 4/5 strong players up for the battle are needed, in yr face rough n ready fighters weve too many jib out when the tough gets going.

Well thank you for the intriguing post,having read it again looking for clues
I think maybe the answer may be found in an Abba song title from the past
Am I on the correct track now?
