Match Thread vs. Barrow 07.03.20

[crazyfists]

I think the board is fine how it is, if people want to get into heated discussions with people then that's life.

... away from boring little spats ... there was a football match. Barrow failed to bully us and the ref. Maybe they have bullied other teams throughout the season and this has been a component in their success. Outstanding for us was Rawlinson who, I think, held the defence together leading to increasing the frustration of the desperate Quigley and, perhaps, his shocking two footed challenge. The wind was the great leveller in this game. It lessened in the second half. Notts were full value and bitter Barrow, their bubble now burst, could well fail over coming weeks. COYP

Looking on the Barrow board half of their fans think he was entitled to go for the ball and a red card was harsh, the other half think it was a definite red. That usually means it was a definite red!

I've seen it on the highlights programme & it looked a red to me although I would say that some refs would have let it go,you win some you lose some but what a great result, see you Tuesday boys. COYP

Watching that their penalty was stonewall and McCrory was lucky not to see a yellow card at least. Rawlinson got back just in time to be classed as a covering defender. The red card also looked clear cut, Quigley didn't get near the ball and took the keeper out with a two footed challenge. Nice goal from Roberts, he created something out of nothing.

Talking about defence though, is it a shock Lacey comes back in and we keep a clean sheet again?

All will be revealed over the next 10 games (is that's how many is left ?)
so having teams miss penalties against us isn't lucky ????????? maybe just a little bit lucky ?
Having 3 cleared of the line although resolute , is maybe a little bit lucky ????????
I think my reference to NA's appalling tactics were more than him being clueless away from home , they were based over seasons worth of games where he failed to win enough games to keep us up ...and then carried on with the same formula to keep us in mediocrity..
and which if it was carried on would leave us struggling to reach the play offs !
will normal service be resumed on Tuesday or will the new Dynamic Ardley be revealed again where he dares to play for a win.?
All will be revealed !xxxxxxxx

What is normal service?
We’ve won more games than we’ve drawn and lost so I assume you mean we will win?
It’s pretty obvious nothing NA does will change your mind. You feel it’s solely his fault we got relegated and whilst I disagree you’re entitled to that opinion.
What annoys me is when people state as ‘facts’ that we will never get promoted with NA as manager and we will be lucky to finish in the top 10.
You stated I had been fooled by our 5-0 cup win and did I seriously think we would win any of our games in hand. A win on Tuesday we go 3rd.
We’ve lost twice in the last 17 games!
Stop trying to search for the negatives and just enjoy an exciting run in.
NA is far from a perfect manager but he’s far from being as bad as you make out. And if you’re having to refer to goal line clearances to try and make your point, I think that proves it!
All will be revealed.

Isn't that what defenders are for to make goal line clearances and defend? The same as keepers are there to make saves, it isn't luck it is what they are paid to do.

I wrote this for Laddo , but you try reading it and it will answer your questions I think ??
Morning KTD
I'm sure the realists amongst us will not be swayed by two victories.(with huge portions of luck involved)
Barrow was a great result and one that some were not expecting , not only the sceptics !!!
Now I'm not sure but it seems that NA has adopted a new footballing philosophy/ brain where he starts chasing the game late on instead of settling for that respect the point approach.(if only this happened last season)!!!
we will see if this continues, if it does and it carries on successfully then we can all be happy.
My fear is that its took him over a season to reach this conclusion , and maybe it would help if we could adopt this policy much earlier in a game .
Anyway all will be revealed against Aldershot , if they come and get a win or draw the knockers will be out !!!!
ooooohhhh matron !!

PS I've never stated finishing to p10 as a fact , more of an opinion based on how Ardley set his teams out to play for the point.
as I said before , what a shame he didn't adopt this new lets win at all costs approach last season , we wouldn't be where we are if he had !
sorry no normal service is playing for a safe draw ,
In this league I would hope we win more than we lose or draw xxx
