[Chief Rocka]

I'd be over the moon with a point here.

 

[BarraMatt]

I'd also take a point in our game, we really need a win as it would extend our winless to 8 games but it will be hard going in possibly one of the two toughest away games on current form. It would be typical Barrow all over though, have a combination of poor results against teams around/below us and then get a surprise win somewhere you're expecting to lose.

 

[denzel ecfc]

I suspect we will make a few more changes, looked a few tired legs out there yesterday but our squad depth is pretty good.
Colchester will be smarting, though, and our record at their gaff isn't brilliant.
Will be a tight match but hopefully we can nick it.

 

[valefan16]

Big game for us in terms of needing to bounce back from two poor results. We played well up until defending our box but the return of Smith from his ban should improve that over Martin who’s been crap. Two of our most shoddy defensive performances he’s been to blame.

Obviously a huge game for Walsall with the Clarke thing but doesn’t really affect our side of it but will have to manage that.

Dazzler looked absolutely furious in his post match interview so hopefully a huge rocket up their arses for this one.

 

[Monkey Tennis]

No way we can improve enough to get anything from this game. Our only hope is to defend deep for 90 mins and hope we can cut out the stupid mistakes. Maybe try and draw a red card out of that idiot Adams.

Started Diallo instead of Adams yesterday and he played excellently, so you might need a plan B. Our home form is the patchier though, so there's that.

Bringing 1600 on a Tuesday night is unexpected but good must be the Clarke effect.Myself i dont hate him like some nowhere near the worst we have had.

 

[leedsvaliant]

Walsall are going to be bang up for this and with a decent following.

Play to our best and we're easily better than most in this league but defend how we did yesterday and we're in trouble. We need to ride out our injuries and hope to pick up some home wins.

Walsall have hit a bit of a patchy spell after a really good spell, so they're clearly capable. We need to win as it feels like this could be a turning point in our season.

 

[WilsdenBantam]

Wow 21/10 on a draw in our game, any betting people on here there’s your tip. Think we’ve drawn 1-1 5 league games on the spin.

You will give us a good hiding if you turn up, I'm sure.

 

[Soup Ladle]

Personally think we'll get absolutely battered.

Players to me looked drained on Saturday, effects of the midweek Wycombe game plus lack of pre-season rest possibly for some of them.

We'll be missing Sterry and our backups are barely National League standard so we can't change things up much.

There was evidently a lack of belief we could get anything off FGR on Saturday and with two long arse trips to stronger sides coming up, can't see anything other than a heavy defeat.

 

[Fedora Dale]

Stevenage at home on Tuesday. They are reputedly not very good.

Since we've drawn at home with Scunny and Colchester, and lost at home to Oldham, I'm not expecting too much...

 

[E10rifle]

All signs pointing towards an overdue away win for Orient. But I will never, ever back us against Scunthorpe, especially at their MFI hellhole. An O’s win there would be one of the thirteen signs of the apocalypse. Thankfully it’ll be a draw. Can’t be doing with winning two in a row.

 

[RiftHouseLad]

I'd be over the moon with a point here.

I,d be over the moon with players taking pride in the shirt.

 

[AR27]

These two away games this week feel very much like must win games. We've drawn far too many, and most of them at home, albeit we've had a tough run of fixtures in the last 5. Now we're playing teams around/below us we need some wins on the board.

 

[Chief Rocka]

I,d be over the moon with players taking pride in the shirt.

I don't think things are quite that bad, it was a poor performance from players and staff, there'll probably be a few more pastings this season such is our lack of depth and general lack of quality, the goal this season has always been survival.

 

[Kauto Star]

I fancy us to bring home the 3 points from Tranmere on Tuesday. A tight affair I'm sure with neither team exactly free scoring and defensively sound overall. 1-0 win to the Bantams with Angol to net a 2nd half winner

I agree I don't think it was a lack of effort but it's clear there's a lack of confidence and belief. Didn't agree with the muppets who booed them off at half time either

We've been dicked a few times over the last year in this manner so up to them to show they have the character to bounce back. We will get the answer to this question over the next week.

 

[Cas]

Songo'o own goal, four red cards, one attempt on target and six subs used in a 2-1 Tranmere win.

Its the fans who will be up for it no doubt some will give Clarke pelters already been warned against one chant about him by the police.

Hope your right, if one or two have an off game you can cope.
But for me there were too many off.

Shouldn't be a lack of confidence really after the replay.
As for people booing, Please stay away from the club your not wanted.

 

[MadJohn]

I'd like a repeat of my last Tuesday night visit to Swindon, when we won 1-0 courtesy of a hilariously soft 90th minute penalty, and I was one of 72 fans who left the ground happy, though not quite as happy as I was when I was one of almost 1500 Poolies who witnessed a 1-1 in 2004.

No expectations other than a comfortable defeat this time, though I won't be there to witness it. Swindon's home record should offer encouragement. It doesn't.

 

[Chris FGR]

Started Diallo instead of Adams yesterday and he played excellently, so you might need a plan B. Our home form is the patchier though, so there's that.

Yeah Diallo will probably start, he’s had to wait a while to get a run in the team, but Edwards clearly rates him having had him at Wolves U21’s and now he’s playing well can’t see him being left out. Think Ebou might start too though, will be a toss up between him and Aitchison.

 

[Optimistic Poolie]

Hope we see some form of reaction from the players from Saturday, losing Sterry to that stupid sending off is a massive blow.

I really hoped we would have had some form of news on a new manager by now, I’d snatch your hand off for a point here but unfortunately can see another drubbing coming.

This might be controversial but i would like us to start without Spearing in the team because i think he slows the play down far too often. Several times this season we have had a chance of a counter attack and he has gone sideways or back with a pass when a forward pass would have been the right one. He contributes to our negative approach more than a positive one. Its frustrating at best.

Been thinking similar for a while now myself. No one better in this league than Jay for a sideways pass.

 

[Boz]

Don’t think that Lee O’Connor did as good a job as Jay Spearing usually does protecting the back line. There’s merit in what you both say but expecting Jay to be back in the staring xi v Bradford
