Worthing v Barrow match thread

[mall]

A game of 2 half's 1st half i thought we did well battled hard but worthing came out 2nd half and out battled us should be winning from 2 up positions if we want to be top half of the league though 2 points dropped today still only 1 win in 7

" if we want to be top half of the league"
We're nowhere near good enough to be top half - yet anyway!

Good draw on the road.

Happy to hang on for a point in the end but a lot of work atill to do. We are chaotic and lack any control. What should’ve been a comfortable win ends up becoming a rather fortunate point in the end.

Positives Mikey Lane and the first half generally. Negatives our defence is all over the place.

Draw feels like a loss, we need a new CB with Pace

We tried hard tho, you can see the effort the lads are putting in........shame we can't defend or string 3 passes together !!

Some of these players aren't good enough but Murray has to admit he got that second half all wrong disappointing really!

[Jonty]

Two points dropped from a comfortable half time position. Not only did we throw that away in the second half I don’t like this ugly football we are serving up. It’s absolute dross. Is that really how it’s going to be? Throwing players to the ground, no possession at all, just kick and rush. It’s not good enough for top half never mind top 7

Hate to say this but maybe because our defence is so slow play with Williams in a back 3 ,I don't think he's mobile enough for this league at times Marriot was isolated, Ward doesn't do enough for me as for Walker just not strong enough, Whitfield can't do 90 minutes now ! , here's a thought let's sign another kidderminster player !

How much more money though does the club have to throw away bringing in more and more players. Football is out of control it’s a loss making business, the club is losing so much money but they haven’t had value for money.

I bet we have a top half budget - at this stage I’d rather see the club become sustainable and if that means we can’t compete so be. Still it’s a point on the road at Worthing

Just got back from the Worthing game. 2 points lost

This league is about turning draws into wins. Managed to throw away two points whilst picking up 300 odd yellows.

Very vulnerable at the back. Wide open. Might as well have had two wheelie bins at centre half.

Again though. Whats the game plan? Wide? Direct? Control possession? Long ball?

Lane is what we have needed. Cameron not nasty enough.

Plenty of anonymous players again.

Let’s have it right. We’ve signed a load of dross from the leagues below and expected them to become somewhat half decent. Absolutely shite recruitment yet again and it will bite us on the arse yet again. Keep repeating the same old rubbish and expecting new results, negligence from the board and the footballing people at the club. Played 3 newly promoted teams so far and have been mugged off dunno why I bother with this shite

Bet you weren’t saying that at half time.

Not stupid enough to think this team has got anything about it to get a positive result. Adam has summed our attitude up perfectly on the radio saying it’s a good point, we’ve gone from being little old barrow in league two too little old barrow in non league again, zero ambition

[Jonty]

Cannot believe we came out for the second half like the game was won. We defended a third of the way up the pitch and invited them to put a ball in behind. Totally unnecessary and totally wide open to pace. Fully on the Manager because that is a two points dropped. Whilst I’m on I’ll get it off my chest. - We play horrible football, yes you want commitment, but pulling, grabbing, kicking the ball away. The only thing we’ll win is the league table of bookings.

Its great when you are winning but looks dead shit when you are turning wins into draws.

[McMark]

They came out and threw the kitchen sink at us second half on a pitch they are very familiar with.
We were at sixes and sevens too many times and many faded. Much to do defensively for sure but positives for sure going forward,

It’s shocking to watch hardly inspiring. Five bookings this week seven last week tells you how we play

[Jonty]

The ref was very lenient. Yes I want to see players going in hard in the tackle, but they weren’t booked for doing that, there wasn’t a hard tackle all game. They have resorted to wrestling. Stop playing so high up the pitch and give yourselves a chance to recover without having to resort to pulling players back.

We’ve gone fully from a team admired for playing attractive football to however you would decscribe this

[Bob]

Awful fightball on an awful pitch. Unfortunately if you go man for man all over and someone doesn’t track their man the whole thing falls apart. And then when you have the ball everyone is marked so it’s really hard to keep possession and play anything resembling football. They’ll be tough to beat at home this season, so maybe not a bad point, but it’s a tough watch and really frustrating after going 2 up.
