Grimsby town v Barrow match thread

[WalneyOne]

This relegation battle must be the worst in a number of years. We should have been cut adrift weeks ago and staring mathematical relegation in the face by the Easter weekend. Inexplicably we are going to linger until mid April.

I have no idea how we win another game.

Its easy....score more goals than them.
Buddy Holly wrote a song about it.....

THAT'LL BE THE DAY

As mad as it seems, win our game in hand we are out the bottom two. …I am heavily sedated so don’t really know what I’m talking about.

Only trouble is we have to WIN that game.

[Barrow afc 2018]

Couldn’t fight their way out of a paper bag, zero excuse for not trying hope you got a nice sun tan boys you should hang your heads in shame.

Credit to those souls who made the journey those players don’t deserve your loyalty and support. To a man they have let our club down big style.
By some miracle we’re still in with a shout show some balls FFS.

How anyone can see anything other than relegation now is beyond me.

Cheer up everyone, we've only got Bromley next weekend they'll be licking their lips at the thought of playing us now.
Literally 1 win and we go above 3 teams but we are garbage. Starting 11 changes every match and don't think Foley knows what to do team wise. I do feel sorry for him because I don't understand why the club thought it would work because 1 point in 4 matches ? But conceded 8 this week alone is awful. A couple of 1-0 and I'd still believe but we have such a tough run in.
Sadly I do now think lads are or have given up and its just a few weeks away from the inevitable.

Feel sorry for Danny Rose.
Stanway needs dropping .
He has turned into Joel Dixon .
Steve Housham said Stanway could collect balls but dives all over.
He has developed the habit of kicking the ball to the opposition
Surprised at how poor Canavan has gone
Full backs are useless just let players run past he them

Another weekend down where we would still be alive on the last day

Canavan has been poor last 2 seasons he was saved last season by Vassell and Williams and foley covering for him ! Been mostly a passenger and an imposter acting as a captain no wonder anyone who plays in defence appears to be unsure of their role he doesn't help them one bit drop him now!

As previously stated Rob Kelly is not the Messiah. He reckons those players were good enough to stay in League 2. I doubt he was right.

That from someone who knows what he’s talking about seeing us for the first time this season. Brutally accurate.

We were tough to beat in the space of time he was here plus Reading (his new club) are doing pretty well now so I'd definitely have had him here if we could have arranged it - sadly it'll never happen

[olbarrafancumbak]

Be prepared for another 40 years of hurt... This lot have undone years of desperation and hard work..

We go down, I can't see us getting back up...

And they all still get paid?? What a bunch of absolute [SwearFilter]..

Trouble is too many wanted to believe it was just a tweak needed here a tweak there. PH summarised the transfer window “Kelly said (on leaving) - you don’t need to do much in the window”, and something about wanting to avoid different groups forming (which I don’t quite get what PH was alluding to)- whatever it was we wasted the window.

[blumooncrab]

We wasted the preseason before we wasted the window. God alone knows what the strategy has been but absent some miraculous recovery, in any other business the CEO goes .
