Barrow v Carlisle match thread

[blue blue boy]

Some of you lot are deluded.
Players, just like managers, don't just turn shit overnight. The reason for a lot of the things you guys are picking up is totally down to a lack of confidence which comes from not having results go our way this season and then panicking, not wanting to be the one who makes a mistake and looking over our shoulder. I have seen the same with my daughters under 14 team for goodness sake.
Mark Cooper has a proven track record and we know what the likes of Platt, Rooney, Brough etc are capable of.
We know we can't hit a cows arse with a banjo up front but the players need supporting not bloody lynching for every single little mistake.

Assuming we stay up (which I think we will) I think you will see a lot if dead wood out of the door and a focus on obtaining a potent strike force. With some confidence and a couple of strikers I really don't think we are a million miles off a decent team.

It was absolutely crucial that we started this game with pace and aggression in the first 15 minutes with the fans at their noisiest and right behind them. They didn’t do it.

[Kieran]

What the hell has happened to a Brough? He’s a shadow of himself lately.

Mark Cooper has decided to play him in a position that doesn't suit him. Get him and Hutton back at wing backs and start getting some decent deliveries into the box again. Early in the season when we looked a threat, most of it was coming from their deliveries.

Gotts is another one being wasted currently. Bizarre decision to play him completely out of position where we he is completely ineffective.

There's been some weird stuff happening all season but I just don't get decisions like these at all.

[McMark]

Two poor sides, they were happy to catch us on the counter attack and capitalise on our mistakes and inevitably we oblige. Just thankful that sides in and around us are stuttering too!🥲

Nobody wants the football. As soon as they get it they are looking to offload it as soon as possible.

Why do we play so defensive at home? the second goal what was Farman doing platt waited for him to come but he stood rooted to the ground !
Why is gotts at right back and why the F,**,k do we play with 3 at the back with 2 wingbacks who aren't wingbacks and Carlisle only had one up front!
it needed changing but Cooper did nothing !
Banks only started playing the last 25 minutes, it was an absolute mess some harsh words need telling but it won't be Cooper's fault the wind and a defensive side mistake!

[spirit of 1990]

I said it months ago, Cooper is absolutely clueless and if we stop up it’ll be more down to good luck than him earning his wages and doing what he’s supposed to be doing. If we sacked him (which I don’t think we will) or if he walked (which he won’t) I’d rather see out the season with a couple of the senior players taking charge…it really cannot be any worse than this.
How people can keep defending this clown is totally beyond me, maybe they’ll wake up when we’re swapping places with Stockport.

To the game - utter shit, no passion, no skill….just total rubbish. That shambles of a second goal summed the afternoon up.

Please Cooper, just go before you relegate us.

Awful.

There was some interesting analysis from Goodwin and Lumsden on Radio C. I can't remember it all, but the gist was that Brough is suffering from confusion with his role and Glennon's, and Brough should be the wing back not defender. Lummy (I think) mentioned that Banks was better playing just behind the front two, not where he is playing now. Gotts also not being used to best advantage. It's worth a listen to the half hour of post match from 5pm.

" no passion, no skill….just total rubbish." and no fight, and no one willing to shoot and no one who didnt look anything other than cant be arsed which was evident even in the warm ups.

[popular side]

I Have been a supporter for 50+ years and will defend to the hilt my club but i cannot today thats not a team i know at least teams of old gave there all especially in derbys this lot and that performance says to me they dont care.........

[Jonty]

Given Hutton and Sea were on the bench and we needed some pace and movement up front I felt those subs were 15 minutes too late.

I don't think it's they Don't care they lack organisation and it shows for christ sake we messed about with the subs forv16 minutes it's a joke ! Cooper should be dragged before the board for the team selection/tactics today and if they can't do that they're letting us all down!

If they can see what is glaringly obvious to most then why can’t the manager. We just don’t hurt sides no penetration until we are backs against the wall

[Bingo]

We are just too slow, by the time we get moving with the ball everyone else is back. We constantly pass back from forward positions.

They wont sack cooper, we are in a position that we have a manager sat in the stand through is own actions, whilst we are announcing that sexism is not tolerated.. should have got rid then
