No composure on the ball, just constantly launching it forward into no mans land, 2 cb's who just blast the ball out of play at any given opportunity, and zero creativity from anywhere on the pitch.
It's gonna be a long season!!!

It’s National league in general in the main it’s poor fair Boreham wood excepted
The noise for three up has quietened down a bit now most of the big boys have managed to get out of it. Whoever said the quality was EFL standard was clearly not watching the bottom half. No wonder half decent teams regularly get around 100 points.

That was a poor game of football. 8 yellow cards and hardly any decent play

Already 8 off the play offs. Dont think this sides anywhere near the quality to be up there but the season could be over before we even get started the way we are going. So devoid of plans going forward. The floating fans wont pay to watch this dross

All over. Another game where we've failed to take full control when we are in the ascendancy. Five points dropped from winning positions this weekend.

If we were even somewhat reasonable at home, draws at Harrogate and Kiddy wouldn't draw too many complaints.
Popular side since '03.

If we had held on for the win, could have looked forward to next week with a bit of optimism, not now, there will be people that have already thrown the towel in.

We are a laughing stock of a football club that will deservedly be relegated at the end of the season, it’s already that obvious. Couldn’t organise a [SwearFilter] up in a brewery.

Still not sure what the game plan is.

Is it to get the ball out wide?, route one long balls?, break through the middle? pass into space?

Still looking fairly toothless in front of goal. We also seem to get on top for stages then it peaks and after that its just seeing the game out for like 30 minutes

That 2nd half was really hard to watch. Im not sure why we didn’t have players running at their pretty much fully booked midfield.

Whatever isn’t happening for this side at the moment the fact remains. No wins from 5 and only 2 points from 15.

With Sutton coming to HS next week I do worry

We never look like scoring, and every time team's attack us I feel nervous!
Walker, Latty-Fairweather, Oakley far too weak, nice touches etc but nowhere playoffs standards,Latty-Fairweather came on as sub taken off enough said!
We need a general in midfield, decent right back and a couple of lively forwards who'll get in your face!

5 games in 9 points dropped from winning positions, think the chopping block is coming soon....

Us at start of season: Got to give manager time, its not going to happen over night

Us now after 5 games and still in 1st months of season: It's all over, 100% getting relegated

Its not been great but bore off with it. Even Kidderminster commentators were saying they glad they playing us now because they think Barrow will do well this season

"Kidderminster commentators were saying they glad they playing us now because they think Barrow will do well this season".
Well they cant have been saying that on the basis of looking at the Barrow players today!
