It's Barrow. 15:06 - Dec 3 with 715 viewsOriginalMarkyP

"I enjoyed Barrow, I enjoy how well coached teams are now.

They were by far the better team last week at Sutton, they lost 1-0. They missed chance after chance.

They’re easy on the eye, they have a real identity in how they want to play, they try and have a possession-based game, keeping the ball.

“And they were good. We’ll have spells, no different than Crewe, where Barrow will have the ball, because they’re good at what they do.

The most important thing, as ever, we’ve got to make sure we impose ourselves on the game and our style and our identity comes through."

Barrow. Not Liverpool. Not Wigan. Not even Cheltenham. Or Morecombe.

Barrow.

Of course, if he came out and said they were 5hit you'd be the first one to criticise him for making their team talk easy!

don't all managers big up the opposition beforehand?

Ok so we're over-analysing these particular phrases now are we?

What's wrong with what he's said? He hasn't said they're world beaters, but they are coached well and have a passing game but rubbish up front.

edit:

Also, when asked by reporters in a presser about the opposition, what should he have said? He didn't blow smoke up their...

Can you provide instances of where managers have trashed a team before playing them?

In fairness, it seems our players routinely need re-persuading that the opposition are also all professional footballers who will play football if you let them. Against Oldham they managed to forget not once but twice!

I just never thought I'd see the day an Ipswich Town manager was bigging up Barrow.

So if you’d done the press briefing you would have said

‘this mob are a bunch of mugs that barely know what a football is. They’re there for the taking and if my lot don’t put this game to bed in the first 20 mins, heads will roll. I’ve told my team not to bother changing. That garbage are just not worth the effort. I am hoping we get a good draw in Round 3’

Yep, that’d work. I’m sure that if we get through and get drawn against say Chelsea and the manager says something like that we’ll tug a collective forelock and gratefully know our place.

I’d actually love a manager to do that just to see what happened.

i'm struggling to think of a credible manager who doesn't big up the opposition

Exactly. I understand some of the angst towards PC at the moment, but some just don't think through their points before making them, so end up looking like mugs.
