BARROW V Orient match thread

[blumooncrab]

We went for it in injury time !!! Jesus .
Whatever Dunn is doing, he is not inspiring this group.

Plus points : Kay, Hardcastle, Zouma, Taylor , Dixon, Brough.

Minus : Jones, Gribbin, Beadling, Angus.

Too many back passes. Too negative . No leadership.

Drawn and lost against 10 men .


3 points in 15

Boring, dire, pedestrian football. Dunn appears to have made us unbearable to watch.
Only players that had a half decent game were Luke James, Kay & Zouma.
Poor effort against 10 men for 80 mins.

[blue nige]

we'll never score goals if no one is prepared to actually go into the area and commit defenders its all too safe lack of confidence all round we really need a forward / midfield player to take players it must be so easy to defend against us so depressing!

[Steeley]

It's a bit worrying we seem to barely be able to score. Maybe Quigley and the new chap might change things

[Ste Story]

Awful.
Inexcusable.

Thats over 2 hours of football now vs 10 men, and we've scored one and conceded one in that time.

Where is a win going to come from? Very worrying at both the lack of options from the bench or direction from the dugout to change what was clearly becoming a very stale and uninspired second half...

[Kieran]

Hardly call that support bud

Support isn't blindly praising the team no matter what Mark. If it's rubbish then people have every right to say so, and that was.

I support the club as a whole, in many ways and not just the players on the pitch. That doesn't stretch to pretending we're not serving up shite when we are.

[MisterPleasant]

Very disappointing. We've played in the last 2 games, what?, 120 minutes against 10 men and scored 1 goal. This was begging for a 3-0/4-0 win but our powder-puff forward line just can't do it.
We still have been nowhere near a full-strength line-up but it's the job of the replacements to step up and fill the gap. Just not happening.

[Jonty]

Absolutely no fire power up front. James and Angus totally ineffective.

[TaylorBAFC]

Minus : Gribbin

Gribbin who didn't feature at all today? Strange that.

[bigmac95]

We lack someone who can keep the ball under pressure and make clinical passes in the final 3rd. Never replaced Rooney and it showed today (and every other day so far). I don't think now is the time to sack Dunn - I don't even think that is close yet - but things have to improve. I think a change of formation is needed to a 4-3-3 with Kay attacking left and James right. I have no idea whether this will work but it must be better than what we are watching.

I honestly dont know where this team goes from here.

[PerthBluebird]

No Quigley in attack = we won't score.

No Platt in defence = opponents will score.

Elementary my dear Watson.

We have scored every game he has nt played bar 1?

Mistakes are being punished and the mistakes are coming from all over platt is nt going to stop that. Missing open goals in quiggs against colchester and kay today.

No Quigley in attack = we won't score.

No Platt in defence = opponents will score.

Elementary my dear Watson.

No no no-we are p!ss poor all-around the team.
Those two players alone will not alter how the rest of the dross out there perform.
Five games in now and its plain to see there is nothing there.

[Middleton Nick]

Two points absolutely thrown away. After the first half we were poor but still had chances to win the game, Kay in particular and then a last ditch tackle at the other end saved us. Not good enough against ten men. Positive performances from Zouma and Taylor and James gave his all for the cause.

[spirit of 1990]

It’s not great at the moment BUT....some crazy comments on here.

[Toid]

Someone’s going to give us a good hiding very soon and unfortunately that could be Harrogate followed by Bolton.
