We need to steam roll Barrow tomorrow night. 13:15 - Dec 14 with 3432 views | OriginalMarkyP | Put down a marker on national TV that this team has some fight in them. Forget tippy-tappy smash them with Bonne and Norwood from the start. Put the tackles in. Remind them they're in a proper game. We need controlled agression from all our big players and to wipe them off the map. It needs to be the kind of game that if it were a boxing match, the ref would tell Barrow to stay in their corner for the second half. Far too much weakness this season. It's time to show our teeth.

Why would you be annoyed? It's absolutely the correct thing to do. It's a massive journey up there, not sure that getting back at 5am on Thursday morning isn't ideal preparation for the weekends match, especially given the first team could do with a bit more time on the training field before then.

He's actually played 3 games on the bounce and scored in all 3. He looks to have kept himself fit and may play from the bench but I would be very surprised if McG doesn't have him play. |  |

Absolutely fine thanks. Your overaction to Norwood's 30 minute contribution and tap in from a corner was bizarre. Let's see how he's does in the next 23 matches, if he manages to play 23 matches. That's before we start on the fact than many don't think he should be playing for us anyway, there is more to consider for many than just performance on the pitch even if you don't think there is. As for this thread, it's just weird. We shouldn't be sending a full strength team to Barrow on a Wednesday night, it's just not worth it. SB [Post edited 14 Dec 2021 13:28]

I think (and I maybe wrong) the last time we were on National TV (and I don't mean Sky, I mean national TV) was against Lincoln in 2017 when they were non-league. I believe that shambles was televised. We can't let that happen this time. |  |

Well apart from kidnapping their families and holding them until the final whistle I suppose we'll have to try to outplay them. That's us fecked then. |  |

Not really. I've been consistently right this season and will express my opinion whenever I like, I'm also more than happy to admit when I'm wrong. SB seems to have decided that I need to be put in my place, which is pretty hilarious from a person who I assume is an adult on a messageboard but might well have their own particular set of problems that makes them behave a certain way. |  |

We need to steam roll Barrow tomorrow night. on 13:34 - Dec 14 with 2142 views | usm | Well yes, that's what we should do, but we won't. We should have done them in the first game but didn't. I suspect a team of Reserves and U23's will gallantly lose by the odd goal. |  |

Hang on here. My posts were perfectly civil, I just disagreed with your assessment. You referenced historic debates which have nothing to do with this, not me. The only person behaving "a certain way" is you and it's pretty pathetic to be honest. SB |  | |  |

I love how you've down-graded his goal. Earlier this week you called a it scrambled goal. Now it's a tap in. Funny that the ex-pro commentating on it called it a great finish, but hey what'd they know? You really are a funny one. But I like you. |  |

Also. All my OP is saying, is that (i believe) we really need to beat Barrow and not get embarrassed on National TV. Again. I'm sick and tired of my football club sleep walking into mediocrity. There is so little sense of urgency it's bizarre. We have a game on Wednesday. On National TV. Against easily beatable opposition. That gets us further in the world's greatest cup competition than we've been in ages. It's a chance for a team that has clearly suffered a loss of form and confidence to put down a marker and say that this season isn't over yet. There is more to come from this team. My team. Your team. Everyone on this board's effing team. So let's try and win it with players equipped to win it. Or no, you know what? We could just send up the stiffs, lose by the odd goal, crawl into a corner and wait until August for the whole tedious pantomine to start again. |  |

He posted something on Instagram the other day about having his spine manipulated which made his legs line up better or something? Think he had an inch or so difference in length of legs which may have been the underlying cause of some injuries? |  | |  |
