Not trying to minimise the seriousness of our current situation, but we will not be the only team to come away from places like Swindon and Notts County with nothing. Now, if we don't get at least a point from Shrewsbury...............

I honestly think every single one of us would have a different team, and that’s always a sign of a bad side when no-one’s a clue of your strongest 11 (albeit injuries yes) by February
FWIW I’d go
Stanway

Jackson
Canavan
Anderson
Powell

Smith
Earing

Barkhueizen
McCann
Newby

After listening to the social today and hearing them discuss whether Gallagher is under pressure.

At the moment he’s been in charge for 4 games with no results from them.
if say we lose tomorrow how Many more games do you think the board gives him to sort it out before he’s shown the door ?
Surely the next 3 games (4 at a push) have to get some results or he’s gone.

Yep, whichever way you look at it thats how it works unfortunately.

The pressure is well and truly on.

It's all about opinions and we'll all have a starting 11but I wouldn't have Canavan anywhere near.
Too old, too slow,too much of a liability.
( plus due another sending off as too much if a hothead)
Controlled aggression is one thing,being a hothead is totally different and we absolutely cannot afford any sending off.
It's hard enough 11 v 11......

Rating PG's performance so far, I wasn't expecting much from the away games at Crewe, Swindon and Notts County, but still disappointed not to even get a single point.

Crawley at home, I thought we played pretty well, would've been disappointed with a point, but the end result was still the same.

Tonight is huge, we've got to get something. Next 5 games, I am hoping for 8 points. Then we're back on course to pass the 40+ points mark.

When we don't have the ball, everyone has to work hard to defend/press and get it back. Cut out the mistakes and soft goals too. Finally, be direct!

Think if we don't get something from this game he will be gone.

Massive game tonight with our proximity to Shrewsbury in the league. 3 points against them and a home win against Harrogate and things will look a lot better especially with our superior goal difference and our games in hand. Lose these two games and it’s looking very grim indeed.

Massive game! Just hope someone’s told the players.

Told them and made it abundantly clear they need to show some actual fight for once. Go for the win.

This is a surprising stat, given Shrewsbury are 22nd:

No team have recorded more home clean sheets in League Two so far this season than Shrewsbury Town (7).

Doesn’t come into play tonight, but it’s the team with the worst away record (Shrewsbury) against the team with the worst home record (Barrow). Both are bottom of the away and home tables respectively.

Hope we start well tonight, like we did against Tranmere away. Come on Barrow! :scarf:

Raglan in for Smith.

No Smith in the squad.

No keeper on the bench.

Whits and Harper back on the bench.
