Permutation’s for Saturday.
Re: Permutation’s for Saturday.
Looking at previous few weeks form for all the teams around us I can't see us or Tranmere winning on Saturday but could see Harrogate, Newport and Crawley picking up points and we are gone. Just hope by 5pm on Saturday theres still something to fight for

Re: Permutation’s for Saturday.
Take your point Jonty but Sam’s not changed his demeanour in all of his interviews it’s just his personality.
Let’s just hope it’s his poker face and he pulls something out of the hat for us.
Tranmere against Cheltenham was like us against Bromley, unless we can produce another performance like that we are Donald Ducked.
Re: Permutation’s for Saturday.
Still not given up it going to the final day but not sure we could get up for it judging by last sat would be better being away. Still have hope
Re: Permutation’s for Saturday.
He's hardly fired up in his tone is he. He’s talking like it’s just another game when it’s the most important game in our recent history. Do any of these players get that??Barrow afc 2018 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 23, 2026 9:22 pmTake your point Jonty but Sam’s not changed his demeanour in all of his interviews it’s just his personality.

Re: Permutation’s for Saturday.
Cambridge now need to win so hopefully more pressure on them
Re: Permutation’s for Saturday.
I think Salfords a good result as means they are right uo for it last day against Crawley. So have to hope Crawley lose on weekend and then we got a shot.

Like a rabbit in the headlight,he is no Rob Kelly.
Weve known what we needed a Centre forward and the midfield replaced.
All we have heard is everyone wants them .
This season the recruitment has been abysmal we've prepared for failure.
Look were the majority of our ex Managers are Cooper at Chelmsford and Brown Peterborough sports .

Problem there is Accrington were the most on the beach team I’ve seen against us, and that was weeks ago never mind now

Foley nice guy but he's nowhere near a Manager not his fault though!
January killed us we had one last get out of jail card but blew it!
I feel at present as if I've had any optimism sucked out of me , if we go down surely we're not just going to appoint Coglan without checking out other possible candidates??
'blue nige', you are correct.

'blue nige', If you are correct in saying, ................"once again the players got their way !", and I suspect you are correct, then what chance do the club have of competing to be up and around the playoffs' next season-which is what we would all be hoping for I would think, if a certain clique are being allowed to influence others within the group, most of whom are contracted for next season so I believe?

Hi Mall I was going by Paul Hornby giving an answer to why Dino went and he said there were a couple of instances where he'd gone over the top with the team, I think that some of us would think he didn't go far enough!mall wrote: ↑Fri Apr 24, 2026 9:45 amblue nige wrote: ↑Thu Apr 23, 2026 6:29 pm

One of those instances being when he brought the full squad up on the Friday morning to train in Barrow rather than training in Manchester Friday morning then giving them until 9.00 pm to be all at The Holiday inn as has been the norm all season, Went down like a lead balloon apparently it has never been done sinceblue nige wrote: ↑Fri Apr 24, 2026 10:09 amHi Mall I was going by Paul Hornby giving an answer to why Dino went and he said there were a couple of instances where he'd gone over the top with the team, I think that some of us would think he didn't go far enough!mall wrote: ↑Fri Apr 24, 2026 9:45 am

Re: Permutation’s for Saturday.
Nerves are kicking in now. We need a lot of luck and results to go for us tomorrow, something that's been missing for the majority of the season.
Best we can hope for is it all goes down to the final day, and we can still decide our fate.
Then one way, or another, we'll deserve what we get.

Re: Permutation’s for Saturday.
I know the owners are the ultimate bosses of the club and as such can dictate what they want to the head coach.
Those bosses include our DOF who I believe has been interfering much of the season and indeed has made some bad signings.
However, what has gone has gone, and it’s been said by Hornby that next season we will have a new DOF, so hopefully they will make a difference whichever league are in, although if we go down, do we need a DOF?
Why not get back to the system we used to have of having a manager or if they must, call him a head coach, and put him in charge of choosing the players that we sign?
