Calling for Edmos head then requesting the inventor of anti-football take over (Cooper)...lolz. Have a think before throwing about any old name.

We were one nil down after 4 mins how the hell can the ref change that.

Because of the dithering over whether the game was on or off apparently we weren't switched on.

Behind Halifax as the second worst defence in the league ......minus 16 not good - relegation form.

so if we had scored after 4minutes would it have been mentioned then?


anyway that statement makes edmo look stupid because it means that they were switched on!

Rothery plays at guiseley because he is from up the road! Today was woeful, I'll be the first to admit the ref was dire, but the way we played when we went one nil down was inept. Not good enough...you can make all the excuses in the world, but this is a results business and the table at the end of the season has no mitigating circumstances column.

I think that anyone who goes to an away game after today needs admitting to Dane Garth

Fylde was my one and only away game this season. Never again...were we worse today?

Ref was a homer but that didn't cost us the game! Errors throughout and not being able to adapt once again cost us!

Not proud to say I left my first ever game early, fifteen minutes early. It's becoming too painful even for the most optimistic of supporters to endure!

Plenty of time for a successor to salvage our season, but whoever does it has to be brutally honest with the owner and the players after assessing the squad!!!!

Been to 5 away games this year.
Halifax, Alty, Tranmere, Wrexham and Guiseley today.
Sad to say I don't think I'm going to travel again in the near future.
Guiseley a very friendly club, a nicely organised team, and respectably placed for their size, with no pretensions.
Barrow weren't that bad in the first half, BUT FOR THE WHOLE GAME I CAN'T RECALL ONE SINGLE SHOT ON TARGET. NOT ONE SINGLE SHOT.
As a really positive and enthusiastic supporter of the team and club, I'm sad to say that's totally unacceptable.

The one thing that came through the radio commentary was that we have nothing to offer in the final third of the pitch.

I'm not sure I agree with that!! We had four guilt edge chances in the first half, two fired at the keeper, one from cook and think the other one was Howarth I think?

Just got in after another woeful performance.Two sending offs Mellor,no complaints ,already booked in the first half and went lunging in after two mins of the second half.NWA need to see again as it was on the far side of the pitch and looked worse than it was.Playing one striker (Cook) we are going to struggle as is Cook at the moment with no support.Today would have been ideal to pair Walker with Cook upfront and have a go.
We are conceding goals left right and centre and not scoring many.THIS IS RELEGATION FORM AND THINGS NEED TO IMPROVE VERY QUICKLY.

Ref didn't get any major decisions wrong (think the only thing he got wrong were a couple of 60/40 type tackles in their favour). Stupid of Edmo to bring the ref into it.

Dixon was crap, needs resting
Livesey and S.Williams were strangely awful in the first half, Anderton's tackle was needless and reckless, Mellor the same, midfield may as well not have bothered, Newby in the defence's pocket, Howarth and Cook fluffed their only contribution, and if I've missed anyone it's because I forgot they were playing.
Guiseley are not a good side (same thing most people say every week), yet we just let them run through the defence - midfield offers absolute zero protection, which considering we've got two defensive mid players is stupid.
With a couple of good additions, some motivation and cleverer tactics, we can be decent. The players we have aren't terrible on the whole.
Time for a change.

We should and could have scored twice before Guiseley first goal.
Defence very slow to react to their first goal and terrible defending from free kick gave them the second.
Our so called strong defence is woeful,especially the two centre back Williams strolls about ,both very slow.
Even allowing for 1st sending off we allowed Guiseley to run at us by dropping back and not putting a tackle in until they were nearly in box.
We encourage teams to attack us.
Another very disappointing away day which are killing off the hope i had for this season.......need someone to get them all together and sort it out....now where's DB
