Cheltenham Town v Barrow, match thread

[blue nige]

Funny what a day makes...

A few days back everyone was applauding the spirit, the team and the fight... Today we want the manager out, the players out.. ffs. There is fickle and there is fickle..

It's none of that but it's just sheer disappointment of the fact that 3 points today would have more or less just left us a couple of wins off safety not that we won't do it but it just takes off a bit of the stress!

Stress comes with being a Barrow fan. It's one of the things you sign up for when decide to support us. Its always been the same and that's speaking as a fan of nearly 50 years. You just have to learn not get to high with the highs and to low with the lows and you will be fine

At 1-2 they’ve got their tails up and we’ve panicked. The subs - Acquah for Presley? What’s the thinking there?

Adam asked the question and Whing said Pressley and Whitfield had worked their socks off and possibly he should have taken them off even earlier. It's a good interview and I hope Adam will put a link on here in due course.

Another excellent interview from Whing; would encourage anyone to have a listen

WHING OUT

How pathetic

Your comment was disgusting. Should be banned from the forum and the ground

He mentions not stopping the cross several times but it happens time and again, it transcends managers and players.

Except first half when we rode the wave of Cheltenham’s attack we could have easily conceded 56 second into the game and rode our luck at times but mostly efforts outside the box before scoring two good goals.
I have criticised us for being too deep defensively on many occasions this season. Today was the opposite we were very cavalier in our approach second half and got caught out through defensive naivety and individual errors. Lessons have to be learned quickly along the way. Today was my banker for a result but we never do anything by the book, we came away with nothing. Have to find results elsewhere and be tighter as a unit. It’s a scrap for ninety plus minutes not just forty five plus mins.

I do apologize Keir.

Games are never won at 2-0 did you except Cheltenham to say game over, just glad we won the last 2 home games and still 11pts above Morecambe, credit to Cheltenham who had better subs than us. Our home form hopefully will keep us up.

Cheltenham seem to have an ability to come back. Earlier in the season, Swindon were 3-0 up and cruising at their place and in the end we were hanging on to win 3-2.

What is this o am here that the lads that bought Mark Everton 10% sure is now been given away in blood and his director, but he’s not putting any money in

[capman]

What is this I am hearing the lads that bought Mark Everton‘s 10% sharing in the club. It’s now been given to Ian Wood sporting director just to keep him in a job when he’s not put any money up.

[Yanto]

Who the hell is Mark Everton???

Now now we all want the same thing Barrow to do well
Keir like Scrogham is driving people into the arms of that snake oil salesman Farage aka Trump.
Transcend the politics the scales should have dropped from our eyes to see the reprobates in Hartington St will get a deserved spanking in May.

Meanwhile in the real world as the Gloria Gaynor song goes Barrow AFC will survive.

As disappointing as yesterday was, credit to Cheltenham. They looked good from the start, positive and direct, especially down the wings. I think 2-0 flattered us as we were never that comfortable. I said at the time that if we conceded one, it could all go wrong. All their goals were at the end away from us so I didn’t see them well, but Farman’s initial save on the first goal was excellent.
I understand taking Pressley and Whitfield off, they both looked tired and Acqua has had some good games recently.
Quite a compact ground with a decent crowd filling their areas so it had a bit of atmosphere once they scored.
Very disappointing, but not a disaster.

Yeh fair comment. Sometimes we don't credit teams enough and they could quite easily have capitulated but they dug deep and took the points.

Was disappointing but still early days with Whing and we can all see a different attitude out there but at least we are getting goals and seeing effort.
