Swindon Town next up.

Post by 32mile_cul-de-sac » Wed Apr 03, 2024 4:06 pm

Swindon Town a team with only three wins this year travel to Holker Street with not much to play for. Barrow on the other hand HAVE to make the next two games count being both at home. A lacklustre display at Morecambe has derailed Barrow's progress so we need to bounce right back on Saturday and Tuesday. Will our captain come straight back in? or will PW ease him in gently and put him on the bench. We talk about must win games but I really think if we have aspirations of an automatic promotion we have to win the next two, don't and its the playoffs at best.

Canavan was in the stand on Monday and said he won't be training until Thursday so not sure he'll be put straight into the starting 11

Two massive home games coming up get 4/6 points and that`s probably a play-off place secured, if we don`t 3 very difficult away games, we have not won any of the last 7, hopefully come the final whistle on Tuesday all we be a bit more clear, IMHO can`t really see us going up automatic. :scarf: :scarf:

Meaning what? That’s his first session in 4 weeks or just that the squad wasn’t back in until Thursday?

Yeah, to be fair it never crossed my mind that the team might not be training until Thursday rather than it would be his first session on Thursday.

Next 2 games are a must win for both - they are both in poor form and we are good at home so we need the points !
3 away after that and I could honestly see us getting 0 with some of our away performances recently but this is the time when we might 🙏 pull off a shock and go on another good run and it goes down to the final game for 3rd (we can hope 🤣)

The way we’ve been away from home this year we probably need 4 points from these two games just to make sure of our play off place, could well get a bit twitchy otherwise.

Poor weather for Saturday very windy so hopefully we just win, 1-0 will do, don`t know how many home fans will turn up somewhere between 3,000/3,200. Ref Ben Toner.

Desperate for some good weather but it's monsoon season and we aren't due a good spell of weather for 2 weeks, hope the pitch holds up but it's gonna be another wet one, thinking 2-0 to us as they're on awful form.

Unfortunately can’t make this one, but trust us to make things right. 2-1 win. Stockton and Spence for us. Glatzel for them.

There’s no such thing as an easy league two game we’ll have six very hard battles to gain the points required. On our game we’re more than a match for anyone, with our will and support we’ll get right behind the lads and get them over the line.
