FAT: Brackley Town Match Thread

[ant]

"In their faces." That,s when Barrow are at our best! Tough working class town. That,s our heritage, That,s how we we should appear to our opponents. If we cant beat em playing pure football, put the craps up em!

My interview with Ady tonight

Pennock said the players were asked to stay overnight last night AT THEIR OWN EXPENSE. That’s not the players being unprofessional, it’s the club.

Or it could be that the club got tired of the players taking the [SwearFilter] after they brought in a system of paying for them to stay overnight, presumably to bond together for one thing - and how do they repay that outlay - by playing shite. I know it was a bad night but the club cannot survive on gates of 430. If something is not done pdq there might be no Barrow AFC, as the Cassons will also get [SwearFilter] off!

[Patrickblake326]

Dixon- Average, better than Moore
McDonald- Barrow’s best player by a mile.
Bignot- Rubbish
Audel- couldn’t even kick the football
Diarra- shit, got bullied. Can’t defend
Diagne- Couldn’t play in the Furness Prem
Makoma- weak
Bauress- Might as well of stayed at home he would have done a better job.
Harry- ineffective, not interested
Gomis- how people think he was good tonight is beyond me. Everytime he touched the ball he gave it away. I would pay for his taxi out of here tomorrow.
White- Can’t kick it, can’t head it. No movement. Doesn’t even look he knows what scoring is.

That’s the starting 11 who are all bar Callum MacDonals very very averge or worse. Everyone knows what will happen Saturday. Cox will stick it on us time and time again knowing we have mistakes in us and we will get beat and then crumble. The only way we will get out of this is if Casson puts his money where his mouth is. Time will tell how much Casson really cares about this club because we are falling quickly and money on players to get results is the only thing that’s going to help.

[ant]

Don't care if players didnt stay overnight. It's not the reason we lost. It's a 7-45 kick off, car park was full of cars at 3pm when I drove past so all must have been here in plenty of time.
Brackley sat on a bus all day for [SwearFilter] sake, arrived about 45 mins before kick-off.

Not the point.! They are full time professional footballers. They should want to stay over night. Anything that helps them in their performance on match day they should bloody well jump at. So, not professional in their attitude? Come on, they are (supposed to be ) professional athletes. Payed full time wages. We are not talking pennies here. Take a pride in the profession you have chosen and give your best in a job you proclaim to love.Us poor sods on the terraces can only dream about it.

My interview with Ady tonight

Couldn't give a monkeys about staying over/not staying over as long as they do it on the pitch- but most of these players don't respect us or the town at all, why should they I suppose, but why should the town give a shite about them?

In terms of the interview, I think, frankly, a lot of people will take the next week or so to see if 'Paul and Andrew have been top drawer' in terms of signings especially.

I'll buy Cox left us in a mess (despite great success it's clear like himself, it's a load of selfish chancers he signed who would try and bolt/ down tools at the first sign of bother) but equally there is no way I am buying another January of 'manager's fault' etc. Diagne etc should get out of our club. it was awful.

I'm at the stage I don't really believe anyone connected with the football club past or present- and that's where the apathy lies in the town in many ways. Unfair or not.

It was our absolute core support there tonight, no one else would be stupid enough to go, in terms of the town and shifts etc permitting and we lost a good few I think.

I genuinely think the next month is critical for the next ten years or so, just MO

Pennock said it would've cost them £25 to stop the night and accused the ones that didn't take up the offer of a lack of professionalism. Gomis has been woeful for the last few games but he's got his fans on here. He can be a decent player on his day but he gives the ball away constantly. How White is a professional footballer is beyond me.

Pennock said the players were asked to stay overnight last night AT THEIR OWN EXPENSE. That’s not the players being unprofessional, it’s the club.

But in any case, this:

"At their own expense". As Adi said, what would it cost £25? Don,t forget, they are being paid a premium because its barrow. Now if it was a part time player you could understand them if they said "sod that !" " Cheeky so and so." Just like we all would in any cheap job. But they aren,t been paid peanuts so.. no, sorry, for me its all about being professional and wanting to improve and prove your self to the club.

Gomis was absolutely gash tonight and most of Saturday

[McMark]

It's Saturday that matters, Pennock knows he needs to strengthen the team this might actually make Andrew Casson face facts and if we don't strengthen then we're going down!

Firstly credit to Brackley Town they earned their place in the next round, and good luck to them.
As for us this has to be the final wake up call for everyone associated within the club. Simply put there is too much dead wood within the squad. It needs a severe pruning out otherwise the consequences don't bare thinking about. We probably need to add a couple more than two or three. Adi needs to be fully supported and ultimately allowed to choose who he does and doesn't want and if that means a squad of twenty five players so be it as our current squad has relagation written right through it's core like a piece of Blackpool rock. Here's hoping that Adi gets the much needed support he needs from the players and his employers.

[ant]

We are treating these players better than any have been in past and getting poorer results.
P Cox gave us this legacy!!

i`m never usually as talkative , but this is a good thread. So, i have to defend Cox a bit here. Just in four words....Williams. ...Bennet... Anderton... Diarra ...improvement 100pc harvey...

[extrover]

Would like to see this lot play in the maroon strip at home next Saturday and in all subsequent home games until they are deemed fit to call themselves Bluebirds. All recent reports and comments suggest ineptitude and, what is worse, disinterest, which is unforgivable. I am minded to show my own disinterest on Saturday unless somene can give me a reason to brave the shame.

[paddy71]

No it's not,tonight matters.did you not fancy Wembley?

Staying in this league is far more important the only people who wanted to go to Wembley are most of the people that never usually watch or support the club!

Yep you're right,both Wembley trips were ?I remember when we stayed up though in 19??
