⚽ Match Thread vs. Barrow 04.03.25 [EFL L2]

We sound absolutely shocking, what on earth is going on?!!! Surely we can play without JJ and Didzy or are we just an average team without them?

Average? Your being too kind

[hissingdwarf]

Definitely seem to be going backwards, literally and metaphorically! Poor energy by the looks of it. No tempo again.
Be interested to see the attendance tonight. I couldn’t make it, and I reckon it’ll be lower than normal. A slow slide down in figures.

High possession again and 0 shots. Says it all.

Let's hope it's roles reversed. 1st half crap 2nd half better. We'll it won't be hard

[Pie-eyed&legless]

Where’s the blueprint???

[marky]

The team are playing like they don't want promotion. Fans are running out of patience. Total crap. Daft as it sounds I still think we'll win.

I must have missed that one, what happened?

Easy header that hit cross bar but should have been buried

Ah yes. I saw that one. It came at him fast to be fair but it did look pretty straightforward.

Very Burchnall-Notts.

Whitaker needs coming off. Barrow have just sat in a 5 and 4 and given no space. When he drops off he just gives it away.

Hinchy on to play in a more conventional three with Palmer and Abbott, allowing Abbott and Palmer to drift and Hinchy to hold. Push Gordon and Jarvis on as high as possible. Bedeau and Macari to push on.

Jarvis is (slowly) growing into it, but no more than 10 minutes with no significant improvement.

Just watching a replay if the goal and it was a disgrace. Their player alone in the 6yd box ffs

[LeftPeg_Pie]

The basic idea is there, shift the ball, move Barrow from side-to-side and get it to the wide players. We have just done it with one pass too many, and Gordon and Jarvis are engaged as soon as they get the ball.

A bit braver and we will get back into this.
