Us now after 5 games and still in 1st months of season: It's all over, 100% getting relegated

Its not been great but bore off with it. Even Kidderminster commentators were saying they glad they playing us now because they think Barrow will do well this season

"Kidderminster commentators were saying they glad they playing us now because they think Barrow will do well this season".
Well they cant have been saying that on the basis of looking at the Barrow players today!

Unless, of course, their glass is half-full?

On an unrelated topic, some posters are surprised that this year's team at Tier 5 is not as good as last year's at Tier 4. Is it hard to understand why that could be the case?

(As it happens - and I realise that it is ridiculously early to suggest it - I disagree.)

Jesus what a bunch of whingers.

This team is running their socks off to get a result. Yes it’s not fluid football yet but how could it possibly be.

What do you want? Get rid of Murray and have a repeat of last season? Let’s give them a bit of time and support, eh?

What’s fine roasted coffee got to do with it. Love a game of Catchphrase though.

Ian Evatt should’ve been sacked when he only got 10 points from 10 games but he wasn’t and we finished bottom of the league didn’t we.. oh no

I don’t think anyone is really saying sack Murray.
And the Evatt scenario was totally different he had had a year already here to build.
10 game mark is always a good pointer but it’s evident already there’s areas we need to improve in, and a few question marks around certain players. I like some of Murray’s words and ideas around who he needs to bring in and his enthusiasm. I have to disagree with him today I thought we were poor after Kidderminsters goal and fortunate to get a point. On the plus side we didn’t totally throw a lead away and lose again but a better team than Kidderminster would’ve punished us.

Overreaction but ok

Let's be honest ,we were given false hope by the friendly results.
The majority thought we would start better but we've not

Personally I think Murray will succeed but it's going to take time.

I am as frustrated as the next person but we saw the turmoil last season brought chopping and changing.

Let's give the man a chance.
We know he knew what he was coming into but he was left with last year's players who some were not good enough.

Sorry Rose does not figure in his plans I had high hopes for him.

Yep it's a work in progress and to build anything of significance takes time. There is a process not a magic wand and even trigger-happy board members might have learned this also. No one on the Forum has ever sacked a Manager - ever.

Obviously no actual idea but if he wants some more pace up front (which we definitely need) it might just be that he feels Rose is someone other clubs will actually want if it’s a case of 1 in 1 out

I’ve watched the majority of games in which rose has played for us and I’ve seen about 3 balls into him with any real quality. Everything else has been boomed into him 7 foot in the air or he’s been completely ignored. I’m not saying he’s innocent in catching flak but it’s been very tough for him here

Its not where you start but where you finish.

Overreaction but ok

5 games 2 against newly promoted teams and we’ve got two points and still making mistakes game after game. Get your eyes tested

Don't care what the critics say,I thought we played ok and showed some improvement. First half was good, second half we had a couple of dips but still battled away at it. The lofted corners idea is rubbish give it a rest.
Big Innes needs supply Whitfield and Walker out and out wingers ? Reid and Keaton feeding off Innes.
To slow at the back all the time,are they really fit. Why do you supposed good players come here and become rubbish.
Something's still not right about the whole set up, It's really quite worrying.
