Braintree (H) Match Thread

[prague bluebird]

3 more solid points, well done Barrow.

[glasgow_blue]

Very very solid and organised. I know it's often said on here but Jesus Christ those officials were [SwearFilter] terrible

[boyliegladbach]

Alex Ray Harvey was excellent and a deserved MOM.
Great goal by cook.
How were they chasing a playoff place. They were rubbish.

[glasgow_blue]

Difference is that we going out to win the game now instead of trying not to lose COYB

That was a fantastic game to watch. The effort Cooky put in for his goal was awesome to watch. He, Livesey or ARH would all have been worthy MOM. ARH has turned into a right little monster!
I didn't see on here just how [SwearFilter] awful Grand was (again). Did that not come across on the radio?

[Nigel Bamford]

I didn't see on here just how [SwearFilter] awful Grand was (again). Did that not come across on the radio?

No, it didn't (other than a howler in the 1st half). They just said that all Grand had to do was stand next to Livesey and the job was made easy.

[GTBLUE]

Livesey was absolutely magnificent. Best by a country mile.

[Moribund]

Harvey's always failed to impress but these last few games he's convinced me he's worth a contract. Cook still my MOTM though - the way he battered and bruised one of the league's meanest defences was thrilling to watch.
Grand was the weak link once more - not just the one mistake as alluded to above, but terrible, terrible passing in general.
Braintree though were useless - how many teams look good though in this league?

That's pretty much what he did for the majority.

great result. could not make tonight. cook on score sheet again must be near 20 now. one small gripe scrape 1000 when winning every week. cassons free entry for a game. why not show case side now in improving weather while winning every week. may attend regular next season if impressed. season dead not going to attract punters this season.

[spirit of 1990]

What a performance by every single Barrow player tonight, determined not to lose a tackle throughout the match.....heads in, feet in, bodies in.
ARH quite rightly motm although Jordan & Cooky can't have been far behind. I would go so far to say that is without doubt ARH's best match since??? He's put on some timber lately and looks very strong in tackles and isn't so easily shoved off the ball now, perhaps this is just what he needed as was always a little bit lightweight.
Jase was another who had a very good game, non stop chasing throughout the game. Got to mention Cookies goal, the way he held off their defender and hit a virtually unstoppable shot was simply fantastic, he wont score many better.

What a run this is turning into!

[saltcellar]

excellent stuff! 4 wins in a row

20 points from the last 8 games.

[HenneysKnee]

ARH was absolutely superb tonight, massively deserved MOM
Been a month or so since I've seen us and the main difference is just how blooming hard we work, from the strikers right through the team we don't allow the opposition a moment to settle on the ball. Great fitness as well especially from the full backs charging forward and back up and down the touchline.
Great finish from Cooky, get that man tied down to a new contract!

[GTBLUE]

Livesey was absolutely magnificent. Best by a country mile. Rob Cairns (sponsor) would"nt know a special player if he tripped over one. A.R.H did have a smashing game as well and the Cooky monster, well, what can you say.
Another ten thousand on his transfer fee. Paul Cox did say after the game he has been offered big money for him. Why has has his contract not been renewed. Bonkers.
