Looking ahead to next season, a couple of almost local trips to Accrington and Morecambe are on the cards. Both should be good days out.
We were Jamie. But even if we were winning 3 nil he would still find something to moan about.
It wasn’t long ago that you were complaining that other teams’ fans were saying we were sh tie when we were beating them. Now you are saying we are utter and totally rubbish when we are winningBarra Marra wrote: ↑Sat Mar 25, 2023 8:58 pm First half, we were utterly and totally rubbish. I still can't work out why PW went back to the men behind the ball, pass between the back line and then lump it forward tactics that weren't working earlier in the season. Absolutely nothing in the middle of the park, in terms of bodies or creative play. For me, Young just doesn't look like he knows what role he's playing and just seemed to randomly wander into areas rather than be playing in the 10, striker or wide roles.
It was as if we were set up to weather a storm against a top footballing side, not a poor Wimbledon side. It looked like we were playing walking football at times, and badly.
Second half, totally different. The spark came back, we started passing on the floor and pressing with urgency. The players looked fired up. When this happened Wimbledon just didn't look like they could handle it. We looked like side who knew what they were doing and doing it well.
For me, Kay is our best option out on the left. He and Brough just work well together and have done for a long time now. When they started linking up, Wimbledon were on the back foot looked panicked.
I agree with an earlier post regarding Warren. Why he started today ahead of Feely, I just don't know. It's time to accept he just isn't good enough and pick Feely for every game he's available.
Gotts needs to start more too. Nothing in the centre of the park until he and Foley came on, although Tom White put in a great performance in front of the back line, battling as usual.
Very very glad that second goal dropped to Flash Gordon. Kept his cool and slotted it. Would've been easy to snatch at it or just try and power it in through bodies.
A mention for Paul Farman as well. Could've been much, much worse at half time if not for a couple of important interventions.
All in all, delighted with three points and the turnaround after half time, but what a mixed bag of a football match.
I always find Goody’s comments to be spot on. He tells it like it is whether or not that favours Barrow or the opponents or the ref - whatever. I think he and Adam make a good team.
Which part of my description of the first half was incorrect? It WAS rubbish.Bingley Blue wrote: ↑Sat Mar 25, 2023 9:32 pmIt wasn’t long ago that you were complaining that other teams’ fans were saying we were sh tie when we were beating them.

Make your mind up.
Same here, Goody has announced his retirement at the season’s end & he won’t be easy to replace & whoever joins Adam has a tough job on his/her handswalneyroad wrote: ↑Sat Mar 25, 2023 9:32 pmI always find Goody’s comments to be spot on.
