What are the odds Scunthorpe suddenly hit form and smash us 3-0. Would be typical

fingers crossed swa swa

 

[RiftHouseLad]

You don’t get nowt for shoulda, woulda, coulda, we’ve been poor in most aways this season, even the most optimistic can see that.

So is it going to be Shoulda Woulda Coulda
Or is it going to be HAVE IT.

lets hope it’s the later.

Barrow should have had the League Two title wrapped up by November last year.

 

[Bottega Don]

Jamille Matt has as many goals as our entire team does this season, today is not going to be fun

 

[valefan16]

Same XI today.

 

[Chris FGR]

Jamille Matt has as many goals as our entire team does this season, today is not going to be fun

Jamille Matt has been superb tbf. On and off the pitch. Probably one of the best strikers ever to play in league 2.

 

[denzel ecfc]

Going 442 today by the looks of it.
Shame we don't have Amond available to do that.
I wonder if Robbie Willmott will turn up today

 

[kieran_vale]

Would have probably wanted to have Jake Taylor in there today.

Shame Rodney not quite fit enough to return. Will have been quite a while now including his (deserved) suspension.

Looks like we're lining up:

__________________________Howard___________________________
Feeney________Whelan____________McDonald________Armer
__________________Guy_______________Mellish_________________
Gibson_________________Clough___________________Dickenson
________________________Alessandra___________________________

Bench: Jensen, Devine, Riley, Charters, Toure, Abrahams, Young

Bit of a guess though as Whelan and Feeney are both centre-backs while if we needed a right back then why leave Devine and Riley on the bench. Surely though Skelton wouldn't be so silly as to go 5-3-2 against one of the few teams who have scored fewer goals than we have... at home... surely not.

I'm not sure how that front four will set out either, but that's how I would set them out.

No idea where Mellor went. He was carrying a knock but on the bench for the last couple of games, now he's out altogether. Thought Young had done enough for a start too.

 

[Bottega Don]

Lots of issues surrounding the start of the game as one of our fans has put a padlock on our main gates as a protest against our chairman

 

[shoddycollins]

Michael Knighton is in the director's box today. Just a courtesy to a former owner who is in the city following a talk he gave last night. Apparently some of those who attended the talk chanted Knighton in, and I bumped into someone on the way to the match today who was telling me he'd have Knighton back.

Not sure I can get behind that, but I understand with the current situation and the custodianship around the club why people would be nostalgic about the time a money man bought the club and started talking about going up the divisions.

The last thing we need is something else to divide the fanbase. Like waiting a decade or two and asking the Swindon fans if they'd have Power back.

 

[BogDaddyO]

Question for Walsall fans, how much did it cost you guys to bribe the ref today? Keen to arrange something similar for our next game, would be nice to be 12 v 11.

 

[shoddycollins]

Can see why Tranmere haven't scored that many. They did manage to carve us open and put in a cross to nevitt who had a free header from the middle of the box but he somehow managed up head it out of danger and launch a united counter attack

 

[Monkey Tennis]

Ollie Banks has buried a free-kick for us. 1-0 up against Vale. Sounds like it's been dreary apart from that.

 

[Andy Proctor]

If vale lose to barrow then I'm going kill myself and let barrow football club live with responsibility of them ending my life

 

[E10rifle]

Jamille Matt has been superb tbf. On and off the pitch. Probably one of the best strikers ever to play in league 2.

Steady on

 

[BogDaddyO]

Get in Barrow

 

[valefan16]

Terrible half, flat, two sides knocking it about but not much else but find ourselves one down to a poorly defended free kick. Think that’s about the only shot either side have had.

 

[Bottega Don]

We've not actually played horrendous. FGR look streets ahead of us but they've not created much so far. Fully expect that to change.

FGRs gamesmanship does seem very unnecessary considering how much better they are than us, especially the jumping into players after the header is already won.

 

[Soup Ladle]

Absolute dogshit this from Pools. Miles off it all over the park. No one knows what formation were playing, nothing up top as usual. Diabolical.

 

[E10rifle]

Squalid first half in E10. Walsall organised but devoid of quality, Orient less organised and devoid of quality. Both playing long ball to enormous CBs who are being allowed to foul the forwards with impunity. We tend to be a second half team so I’ll hope for better in the next 45. Officiating has been… bizarre is the kindest word I can come up with.

 

[denzel ecfc]

I thought we were doing ok until the second goal, which knocked the stuffing out of us. It was an absolute howler.
Expecting some early substitutions and a change in formation soon.

 

[Pablosammy]

Absolute snooze fest at Carlisle. Don't think we're going to break our away goal duck unless something changes. Lots of posession as usual, but all at the back, or facing our own goal. Safe and boring, and begging for a cheeky Carlisle winner

 

[valefan16]

Terrible half, flat, two sides knocking it about but not much else but find ourselves one down to a poorly defended free kick. Think that’s about the only shot either side have had.

Like to see the lad with the man buns foul again, looked a red, I anticipate Clarke throwing tea cups after that. Far far below the standard of recent weeks.

Oi!! Absolutely no need for that abuse over a game of football. Grow up.

 

[Agombar stool]

We've scored a first half goal!! Poor first 10 but dominated against Rochdale. Fantastic volley from Gladwin. More of the same second half hopefully.

Embarrassing

 

[BogDaddyO]

Oi!! Absolutely no need for that abuse over a game of football. Grow up.

Classic Vale fans, you get used to it. Probably one of the racial abusers from the other week. Burslem is truly grim.

 

[kieran_vale]

Politic equaliser, cracking strike rate for that lad.
