Barrow v Bradford City, match thread

[olbarrafancumbak]

Battling performance today and you can see most of the players really are giving their all but got to agree with the comments about the substitutions, Acquah and Dallas where both working their b***s off and Clemence replaces them with 2 of the laziest players we have, Garner & Telford who are both really starting to boil my p**s. Really hope they're moved on but who'd want them?

McDonald's are hiring???

[blue nige]

Dallas and Aqua were absolutely gone ,Clemence couldn't really do much more ffs these lads are playing on empty and all the injuries we're getting are really hurting us yes a crap second for Bradford, I thought Farman could have done better but I'd have to see it again, Robbie Gotts outstanding Garner what can you say no heart whatsoever!

Maybe have taken Aquaman off as he's a big unit who ran all over last few games yesterday but I would have left it longer. I would have taken a chance on leaving Dallas on and perhaps left him up top alone to be a nuisance and to hold the ball. I certainly wouldn't have brought the two goofballs on.. would rather see bluey play than them two.

A tired Acquah and Dallas would have given more effort than a fresh Garner & Telford

[Methuselah]

Good battling performance,just a pity we keep giving the opposition a leg up with poor defending for both of Bradford goals.Hopefully that problem will be solved in the transfer window along with a player who can transform our team in attack.Hoping we manage to take 3 points off Harrogate.

Clemence just said on Radio Cumbria that Aquah had a tight calf yesterday but said this morning he wanted to give it a go. Clemence said he never expected him to last as long as he did

We were nowhere near good enough in the first half - second best to everything but given a way back inthrough the penalty. Second half we started a lot brighter and were finally winning individual battles. Acquah scored a good goal that would have been a worthy winner but for some insane mix up defending we let them back into it. We ended the game with a makeshift back three so we have a lot of injuries building up. Garner and Telford totally ineffective again for their cameo second half performances and they both need to be moved on.
The way the first half panned out id have settled for the point. Full credit for getting back into it and giving them a game second half but the first half was way way short.

P45 for Clemence.

You still at it??? Bloody hell man..

He is a nice guy but the only coach he will be doing when he goes is Stagecoach

He played his socks off to be fair, scored a very good goal. So if he's put his hand up to soldier on, then fair play to the lad and shows his true colors!

[MisterPleasant]

Clemence's comments post-match said it all. He took Acquah off to protect him for the next game (and he obviously rates him) and because he was shot so he put the others - Garner/Telford - on so they could "...run around for 10 minutes." He clearly wasn't expecting much.
Recruitment this window will err towards experienced heads and those that see they have been shoved down the pecking order will look to move on.

Perfect summary . Credit to SC for sorting it out at half time. A fully deserved point. Gotts , Newby, Acqua top performers. Reasons to be optimistic despite the injury list .

The loss of Feely completely scuppered our rhythm.

Real fighting effort today

I can forgive a lack of quality but one thing i cant is fully grown men pulling out of tackles. They should be embarrassed! We need players with hearts that arent the size of a pea. Same ones week in week out, one being Mahoney, the other gets let off with everything coz hes from barrow

[Mozz]

P45 for Clemence.

Bradford City, annual turnover £8.5m, commercial revenue £900,000, squad size 29, squad value £3m, average home gate 17000.
Barrow get a decent draw against them and some football know all calls for the mangers sacking, absolutely dense.

What the hell was FARMAN doing for their winner? No need to come off his line and get embroiled in any of the chaos.
