Well it's looking like appointing a wanna be Manager is going to cost us the league
Malcolm looks like a Emile Aquah style player
Weve had no new Manager bounce.
I can see us going down with Newport.

We just have to make our games in hand and home advantage tell it’s totally still in our hands.

Agree it’s not good but now is the time we’ve just got to make home advantage tell. If we go down let’s go down fighting.
That's just sheer optimism our home form is just about the worst I can remember
Going back to Paul Hornby and his interview think what he said appointing Clemence was a mistake he didn't know league 2, we then appointment Whing, who obviously after few weeks of this season they must of realised oops we've messed up again, rewind to now we appointment Gallagher who knows league 2 oh wait a minute not sure ! He then talked about Rob Kelly who had a calming influence and organising skills so we WHY do we seem to appoint people who haven't been in this position the board think it was a good transfer window 🤔 we needed a right sided fullback/ wingback didn't get one ,we needed some steel in midfield, these were 2 important positions yet we carried on with this delusional vision that we'll football our way out of this !
We needed some aggression bite ,yes we signed promising highly rated youngsters ok if we're mid table, I feel by not signing certain player's/ positions we've made a catastrophic decision, I so hope I'm wrong but the signs aren't good and why all these constant changes I feel Gallagher won't last long at this rate !

One win and eight defeats tells you everything you need to know. Its not good enough whatever the board or the manager says. We don't need draws we need wins and it needs to start on Tuesday night. I'm dreading going but will be there.

Massive effort needed to stay up now. Gallagher appointment was suicide. Needed an experienced man to keep us up. The BOD have shown their naivety and this will come home to roost. Never mind according to PH the stats are going in the right direction! The light at the end of the tunnel is unfortunately a train coming.
I’m so mad about how this has happened and how everything has been handled and all of us who have seen this coming keep getting lambasted for being negative.

Totally agree mate I listened to Paul Hornby talking about Manager appointments and our recent transfer window and thought to myself Nero fiddles while Rome burns he's a nice guy but I can't honestly see our board accepting this situation we've messed up big time!

Our time in the football league hasn’t been as enjoyable as I thought it might be.

What ever happens it is still in our hands, at times today we looked good but we need to get some points

Something at the club is not right. Barrow fans and people are probably the most negative people I’ve ever encountered. Win 5 games in row and someone is going to pinch the manager and all the players, lose 5 and we are doomed. Having said that unless something changes we are doomed. I’ve always thought we had good players but just bad tactics and a new man would improve that but it’s not working.

They train well apparently as good as you can in hats gloves and scarfs.

Worth noting that as a full time manager, Mickey Moore’s record was:

Played 11, won 1 , drew 4 lost 6.

I'm not saying Raglan is brilliant but how can Gallagher make him Captain then not pick him next game it's madness, I thought this might happen because Gallagher will now feel pressure he's never faced as a player but it's all his fault he was backed in the transfer window and he's decided to play with Wingbacks but hey he won't be watching football in the national league!

We are on a painful slide back to non league. Hornby has been hoodwinked into thinking this squad is good enough. It really isn’t.

Gallagher bemoaning the defending for both Notts goals but was adamant the shot cleared off the line by Notts was over the line having seen it back
Whitfield out for a week injured in training Fletcher did a shoulder at Swindon out for a few weeks

Well I don't think we will be seeing a change of shape any time soon.

You're so right Jonty but really it's frightening we still as a club haven't realised that we won't do well in this league trying to play Barracelona yet we still think we can we've too many good players who are just not cut out for this league infact this team wouldn't get in the top half of the National League!
