Re: Tranmere Rovers v Barrow, match thread
I suspect similar to the meltdown on here when they walloped us 3-0, when the “pantomime” was in town (ref Gavin Skelton’s text to Adam in commentary). Anyway, it’s always sweeter when the tables are turned. Their meltdown on twitter is fantastic “manager out, board out, players out, grass out, whi...

Re: Tranmere Rovers v Barrow, match thread
Scott Smith is also showing why we signed him. Great to see Ben Jackson back and playing well too. The Tranmere forum is in meltdown - lovely!

Re: Tranmere Rovers v Barrow, match thread
McCann and Smith gave some real energy and set the tone for the closing and harassing. Harper made a big difference returning also. Fletcher seems more astute than Hemings, more mobile and able to keep possession with ease. Huge couple of weeks ahead. And if we show as much spirit in those two week...

Re: Walsall v Barrow, match thread
First time I’ve seen Stanway in a live game and I was very impressed, so much more imposing and commanding than that appearing on the telly box. Some of those saves were next level, we are lucky to have him at present, fingers crossed we keep home for a little while longer so he can develop more and...

Re: Wild or Whing?
I honestly do not understand the unnecessary vitriol towards Ian Wood, I understand the frustration, we are all frustrated with the start to the season, injuries etc. but, what we have to accept and this is irrespective of whether we shouldn’t be calling ourselves little old barra’, we are a very sm...

Re: Tom Barkhuizen signs
I think you have your understanding of 9 and 10 out of kilter…Innes Cameron is definitely a 9, the 9 doesn’t have to be pacey, it’s about putting the onion in the bag, a target man, focal point, up top leading the line type of striker, a la Cowps. Your 10 is a slightly deeper lying creative player ...

Re: Tom Barkhuizen signs
Have we not got Cameron and Hemmings? Neither are a no 9 (both are more like a no10) think we need a pacey no9 to run behind defenders. The fact the no9 shirt is still available might mean we are still waiting 🙏 I think you have your understanding of 9 and 10 out of kilter…Innes Cameron is definite...

Re: Rickie Wallbank OUT
Give the lad a break. He let me off once when he was still working for the filth. It was a cold winters evening, you know how it is when you’ve had 6 pints of worthy’s and then stood in the cold watching a game for 2 hours. I was in 2 minds if to have a [SwearFilter] before I left the ground. I did...

Re: Tyler Walker
Another big gamble ALL players are gambles FFS, even more so if you pay money for them than if they are on a free. This is EFL2 and the reality of where we find ourselves given our finances and stature. Just roll with it, some will be good and some not so good but thats part and parcel of the game,...

Re: Welcome to Barrow AFC Isaac Fletcher.
13 goals and 9 assists at this stage of the season is phenomenal for a midfielder. Feel like this could be a replacement for Spence which is not ideal but who knows. This is definitely the way forward getting non league gems, look at Walsall for example absolutely flying and signed a few from the n...

Re: NEXT 3 GAMES.
Why even think of replacing him? Give him 2 seasons to build a team and a style of play. Stupid speculation by panic merchants Totally agree Wild was on a 3 year plan till he blew up Clemence should be given time and be allowed input into some new attacking players Yes, very much so. The knee jerk ...

I can’t find a reason not to agree with you there, Russell. It looks like it’s gonna be a proper contest this season with many challengers.

Re: Hot Shots! Pt.94
Why do we need to be so reliant on A single goal scorer, it’s far better to have multiple scorers surely, look at all the major successful clubs may have an amazing CF but there goals come from all over the pitch, and in EFL2 it is definitely not alien to have a CB that scores from set plays, surely...
