Barrow

I shall start out again. LB/RD, need to pick the strongest side and press from the outset. I will be positive and go for an away win 3-2. No penalties however.

I do believe the chances of LB/RD pressing from the outset are absolutely zerp. Their tactics in the modern game are so outdated I am amazed the Chairman and Directors allow them to continue.

I really don't know what will happen next. Barrow was where we got a glimpse of the dire fare to be served up last season. So anything but that please. As for Jack Lankester, I'll believe that when I see it. As I've said before, it's important not to pile too much pressure of expectation on his shoulders. He's been out a while.
Re: tomorrow, the onus will be on Barrow, as the home team, to come out for a win. This SHOULD allow the Alex to press but I'm not convinced. There has been no intent since we lost to Gillingham.
So, at best, 1-1.

Well, there has been over 600 views of this Barrow forecast and yet just three posters adding a message and if just 10% replied, that would be 60 messages. Yes, pigs will fly and if there was a real good reason for this site shutting down then that is it and its not fair that the same posters are adding things here and hundreds just sitting on their ars*s

Shut it down and stop the lazy fans watching for messages that don't exist!

I can only guess its inexperienced amateur coaches and managers trying to tell professional footballers how to play and so my guess is I dunno to be honest. I cannot see a win coming after the last 4 matches. Possibly 0-0

It was a great day for me to watch us play Barrow away in around 1960 and may mate was supposed to turn up at Crewe Station and he didn't turn up and so I went on my own and sod the fans here who said that I should not comment on matches that I don't go and watch when the highlights and radio commentaries are quite good enough to get a flavour. A couple of games ago the opposition scored when three of our players were ball watching and not covering the away player who was standing behind these two players and a foot away from the goal keeper. Question for our own million pound academy coaches and managers....If you cannot cover the basics of HOW this game should be played then you really should not be employed as coaches and managers. Possibly a job at B&Q may be more beneficial?

Oh the Barrow away match I went to in 1960 or could have been 1961. It was real foggy when I got there. I saw not one other Alex fan there and I could only watch the game across half the pitch. It should not have been played but I was told we won 3-1

The train back was terrible and no trains from Preston where I had to change trains for 3 hours and so I went to the flix in Preston until about 9pm and then got back in Crewe about ten oclock...My mate knew what to do when he failed to turn up!

The good old days when fans mixed with each other...And some here think the the game is better now and the players better? They are fitter and that is the only thing they are better at. They cannot play football that is for sure but they showed they can in the first four games...

But Mike RD stopped them playing football after the first 4 games when he demanded that they improve in every aspect of their game.

Strangely on his press conference yesterday he said we must return to the way the team played in the first 4 games. Talk about clueless. From the top of the league down to eighth. It would be a miracle if our players are not confused. Sorry Mike but amateur coaches is far too complimentary.

[gazan]

Didn't see the game today due to a weak WiFi connection in my accommodation. However: 10 goals in 4 games followed by 2 in 5. I bet there was no press again today!

[lukcour]

Well based on the current trend we will in theory be relegated by Christmas. 5 games, possible 15 points. 1 point gained.

Oh yes lets all be loyal supporters iand back our excellent management. Fact is our club is a shambles from the 1st team to the under21 team.

The question sadly has to be asked. Are our Chairman and Directors the bosses or not?

Easy to comment after a loss but I am not going to say anything I didn?t say a week ago. I buy my season ticket to be entertained, not interested in the technical aspects. I appreciate to win you sometimes have to win ugly and it?s not entertaining and also in playing entertaining football you lose at times. But this is not entertaining in the slightest and we are not winning. I say again, there needs to be change within the management team. Either LB makes a bold call this week and changes his back room team or it should be him going in the coming weeks. The record since the end of January is appalling and I doubt many club owners would put up with it. Forget four or five games at the start of the season before everyone worked us out, we are back to where we were again.

Good post, and a well presented view of a concerned seaspn ticket supporter.

Hope the Owners of our Club read your post.
