17/18 VNL - Barrow 3 - 0 Woking
Re: Barrow v Woking match thread
Against Halifax there were promising signs in the first half and we should have had a couple of goals but then the game petered out badly in the second period into a 0-0 stalemate. That might partly explain a very disappointing loss of around 400 on the attendance today. Well, they missed out didn't they if they reckon they had had enough after one home game? We showed a whole load of promise today. On the evidence of what I have seen so far we are a very different team this year (and not just in terms of personnel on the pitch). We are playing more football, showing more craft. Our style is far more pleasing on the eye than last season. We appear to have some decent footballers in the side. Let's just hope that as the season evolves we can also have the same steeliness that last year's team showed. Plenty to shout about today to those who have already decided to stay away.

Chin up Pedro, you can take the wasp out of your urethra for a day and appreciate the performance can't you?Pedro wrote: ↑Sat Aug 12, 2017 6:15 pmGlad they won but sad for you and your negative attitude to other peoples opions.
Maybe Moribund is right?
Where are the replacements coming from once we start getting suspensions and injurys?
5 bookings in 3 games.
The Goalkeeper seems to be better than what we have which Ive always said we needed.
RC said they wished it was a video interview with Paul Cox to show his suprise when told that they had asked Casson about players coming in only to be told thats it.They finished it by saying it will be a interesting discusion between Casson and Cox.
Is this another thing Casson forgot to tell Paul Cox
We do not have enough players so keep doing what most Ostrichs do.
I wanna take you to an Away Bar

I, on the other hand, enjoyed every minute of it.
Chin up though, we'll lose again soon, then it's your time to shine.

Re: Barrow v Woking match thread
I don't see what the problem is. The manager said we needed a squad of 22 players, we've got 21. There can't be any reason to go out and acquire a 22nd just for the sake of it, wait until the right one comes along. How many players do you want in your squad?Pedro wrote: ↑Sat Aug 12, 2017 6:15 pm

The discussion, anyway, wouldn't be between Casson and Cox, it would be Ogden and Cox.
It all comes 'round again.

Re: Barrow v Woking match thread
A deserved first win of the season against a Woking side who could knock the ball around without being much of threat. Having seen the three games there are definite signs of improvement all over and we seem to have the nucleus of a decent side.
MOM was spot on and looking forward to Tues.

Re: Barrow v Woking match thread
Really good day, Gomis was pivotal even better then shez when he played well for us, and I never thought I'd see that. One thing that is certain is that Cox obviously puts confidence in a player and gets their respect as a manager, let's hope the Casson's feel the same and back their man

Peter/Pedro,
Are you taking medication? If not I think you need to refer yourself to a doctor.
Why if you dislike it that much do you bother putting your sorry arse through the whole experience?
I personally had a great day as a happy clapper cheering the team on, shame that dark cloud over head was you.

Re: Barrow v Woking match thread
Don't get this hounding of Cox over bringing players in - are RC and co trying to drive him away (on Hartlepools' early showing they may succeed if they are not careful).In the last two games we have had a player sat in the stand. We have four players at various stages of injury. Theoretically therefore if they all recovered at once we would have FIVE players sat in the stand. Does that say too small squad to you ? No doubt the usual suspects will jump on every word. Yes mr Cox would like to bring players in but so does every manager (listen to Curles RC interviews). I'm sure if we really got desparate Mr Casson would answer his phone. Have faith.
