Accrington Stanley v Barrow, match thread

[LCBAFC40]

Just garbage again ! Cba saying anything else

[Barrow afc 2018]

You can have all the possession you want but from a poor Jackson cross Accy undid us with three passes and it’s in our net. Accy played to their strengths and deservedly took the points. We need to address this slump pronto, we seem to have lost all confidence.

Where do you start?, first that goal embarrassing!, our formation needs looking at ,there's hardly any clever movement up front, Dallas/ Aqua just not good enough!, our building up play far too slow, too many passes, nobody actually runs at defender's to commit them time after time hopeful balls crossed into the area but no one seems to understand when to twist or bust to make a run ,who the F**k is coaching our front players because our play in the final third is just so bad, but this has been going on all season , we seem to lack energy or desire to bust a gut ,Accrington are nothing special they must be missing themselves now, tough decisions in January if this carries on !

Trying to work out who was more pathetic, the referee or Barrow.

I don’t know about needing a goal scorer. Our build up is too slow and we never find a player with a decent chance of a shot before the defence is all back and organised.
That said, today we made it difficult by conceding the early goal, then Accy just defended their lead and did everything to break up play.

Totally agree Jim far far too slow tippy tappy with little or no end result, who scores first wins, League Two purgatory at its best frustrating as hell.

January window can't come quick enough tbh, need a proper attacking midfielder and should break our transfer record again for a proper striker.

You can analyse this game all day long but the bottom line is one shot on goal in 90 minutes of football tells the story. We are toothless in front of goal

[Wintergreen]

Incapable of putting the ball into the net. Like someone else said, we go one nil down and it feels like it’s game over.

You are the third poster to say this but if you cast your minds back we recently beat Cheltenham 2-1 after being 0-1 down at HT. However, you do get the impression that this is the case away from home. We're toothless, directionless and with a distinct lack of aggression and purpose. We are indeed starting to look like relegation candidates - so over to you gaffer.

As roy keane would say
Why the [SwearFilter] are we being nice and shaking hands?

Why is clemmence walking away without having an absolute go at ref???

Nah, this is poor

I said at the beginning of the season that we're far to nice, that includes the crowd especially at home , people don't fear coming to holker st anymore,

Couldn't agree more..

It's a fine line as to how far you go but yes, too nice!

Today's game shows that there was not enough passion and aggression (not violence btw) toward the ref, toward them.. we have to be as one and for example when that elbow in the face happened, be all over them and the ref because realistically it was assault that they got away with! The incident with the keeper where he dropped it and Aquaman took the ball, there was nothing in it and we didn't question the ref!

To be fair, we play good football but we either lack confidence or the instructions are wrong?

Both Garner and Telford had snap shots, that's their job and ffs, all our strikers should be turning and having a go!

Oh I dunno... Disappointing with results but you can see that we are not that bad..if that makes any sense?

The fact that Accrington have won 3 matches in a row proves just shows the level of this league. The fact that we completely dominated the match and created next to nothing just shows the level of our attacking players. We have absolutely nothing up front in terms of pace or skill whether it be through the middle or out wide. Jackson is our most creative attacker as he's a full-back! Our most likely scorers are Vassell, Canavan (when fit) and Eccleston from Jackson's corners. Garner, Telford, Dallas and Kouyate give the team absolutely nothing with Newby and Acquah giving not much more.

However, we were robbed today with a definite goal disallowed and a certain penalty not given BUT even those chances were given to us by a woeful Accrington team and not created by our forwards!

Not much wrong with our defence as the goals against proves and will be even better when Canavan returns. Stokes has been a decent deputy but is no Canavan and not much wrong with our midfield either but nothing from up front or wide.

We will soon be re-named as Barrow Nil!!

Could be worse, we could be bottom! We are not.. not great today at all but we are not relegation fodder just yet

Our final balls in were embarrassing, poor decision making let’s be honest Accy won’t have an easier game. We are as soft as Pooh.

Tuesday now is a must win game! Never thought I would be saying that...
