Barrow

[Wartman]

I think Barrow have coaches too!

I have slept on my thoughts of yesterdays game and this is my conclusion I was at the game yesterday and I can guarantee there was 538 visiting fans who thought exactly the opposite of what Lee Bell thought the away side was almost empty by the final whistle and the team came over to clap no more than about 50 fans of which I was one. That was an absolutely dreadful display I don’t know what Lee is looking at from the first whistle we were so negative sideways and backwards passing a feature of the entire game where I do agree with Lee is we did have a lot of possession however this was in our own final 3rd with no attacking intent, the midfield was ineffective and Hemings was comfortably managed by vassell, Tracey gets the ball and instead of using his pace either waits for support or passes it back. So many wayward passes I lost count poor control a lack of fight on the whole a very very poor performance and I believe Crewe have not won a league game since March ? The only positive was it was 1-0 if Barrow were any good we would have been hammered. I was talking to a couple of Barrow fans after the game who were laughing that they won the game they were that bad. On the evidence of that performance we won’t be troubling the top half of the table, add to that it is evident we are still 4 or 5 players short so I hope they have got plans.

Wartman, congrats on going to Barrow..

I suspect LB is far too close to the players and thought that last season. But then he is the so called Chief Coach and he was saying it should have been 0 bloody nil...God help us if he thinks like that!

I think we should go back to the old days...Yes, I know its my age thing but we had at least three shots on goal there in 1960 and none yesterday! I think we should sack all the coaches and have ONE decent manager who will allow the players to play what they are supposed to do and that is play the simple game...I mean every pound we spend on coaches, managers and RH is a pound wasted. it must cost the club at least half a million pounds and still we have no decent players and have to loan other clubs academy gradutes in and so what is the point of our academy when they are too young to play Pro football and then get injured..

Mr Chairman please get to RH and do what you are supposed to do...get control of these useless people who really have no skills...and footballers do NOT need coaching. I saw the same sideways passing on the highlights and then they pass the ball to someone who has three defenders on them and yet there was two wingers on each side of the pitch with nobody marking them....I could coach them myself better...ie the old days players were signed by their ability not what they may do in ten years...We won 2 games in the last 14 games, it shows how bad this league is for us to make the playoff final.

Academies cannot teach hard football and playing only sideways passing or back passing...half a million to be told that? Why was Long not playing 95 mins?
