He's not on his own though is he ?
He is guilty more than most hence why Cooper dropped him
The reason is the way Cooper set up he was a wingback when he went forward someone from the back 3 has to cover this just didn't happen because they're all too slow so they stay central so it made him look useless, now we're in a flat back 4 he's struggling but he wasn't brought in for that role but this is down to Cooper he brought players in to do a specific jobs but didn't have any back up plan if player's got injured and I can think of other player's including our goalkeeper! who has had his fair share of gifting goals!

When was the last time one of our strikers scored a goal?

Sea late for bus on two occasions hence not in the team
Think we did to not getting a forward.
If the team could perform as well as Brown talks we would be in the Premier League.

Let's be honest Sir Alex would have struggled with our absolute pi** p**r forwards!

Banks, Hutton and Holloway absolutely dreadful. The rest not far behind, probably only Kay comes out with any credit as he was the only threat we had.

Unless something drastic happens we're going down. Someone suggested sacking Brown now and letting Taylor take the last 6 games. That's not as crazy a suggestion as it sounds, something needs to happen.

The system is horrendous. Holloway gets isolated and 2 supporting him don't get close. I thought Gotts was crap again today, runs a lot but has little impact. Get 2 up top and 2 wingers in a 442. We need goals and we won't score with this set up.

Just heard the managers interview "The Players don"t Believe" he"s dead right whats new its been like this for at least 10 games game upon game of gutless performances and senior players playing without care or fight in them it has been beyond a joke that nothing was done about it and we have been left with this lot of jokers with no pride who are prepared to let us go down with a mere whimper its heartbreaking for all those over 50 years of age who have waited so long for league football to see it all go up in smoke because the club could not get it right on the field and we had the chance to rectify this after last seasons debacle so we should not be in this position but what do i know.......

Imagine a Barrow team without Hutton and Brough though, the only width we would have is Josh Kay cutting inside from wide and blasting it over the crossbar

Oh and go with your runners. We aren't good at that either.

He is dead right; but Banks has been absolutely [SwearFilter] awful the full time Brown has been here yet starts, Holloway was [SwearFilter] awful today and yet still stayed on the pitch, we brought a centre back on at 1v0 down for some bizarre reason. Christ even when we had a long throw in the 92nd minute why wasn’t he waving everyone including Farman into the box?

If we go down - I think we need to poach a good current National League manager for next season - someone with a lot of contacts who's had some good progress with their team. If we give them a good budget to work off, and keep a few of our better players who know's we could aim for a playoff position.

Big changes needed and whether we go down or stay up, just want this season to end now to be honest. Atrocious

We have no pattern of play so lets have at least 2 to hit and feed balls in. Agreed about Banks been poor recently.
