Match Thread

Quoted from Les Brechin

These match threads always make me laugh when I don't go to the away games.

Town go behind and most people start slagging them off, saying how shite we are, etc, etc but when we score and start getting back into the game the same posters and all sweetness and light and praising the players who they were slagging off only a few posts ago.

I'm sure some people don't realise that games last for 90 minutes.

I'm sure Birmingham City fans would be the same playing against us when 1-0 down at ours or there place.  

Similar thing really, teams that get around at least 3 times the gates, except 5,000 to 18,000 instead of 1,000 to 3,000+

It's true what Trevor Francis said on TV once, "we (Birmingham City) should be beating the likes of Grimsby."  We (Grimsby) should be beating teams the likes of Barrow, no disrespect to Barrow.

Interesting about Cook... what do you think of him? From the matches I've seen this season he's been absolutely shite!

confidence player, when he finds it hes great but its getting him to find it.

Quoted from aldi_01

Players at this level are here for a reason, ...

so are the teams

Quoted from 470

Well to be honest, I doubt it makes much difference anyway whether a team is full-time or part-time, but with 1,000 gates the staff/players can't be on much, surely they have second jobs?

lol.

no which is what makes supporting us all the better,   we can only give 42 week contracts as we cant afford to pay players in the summer, hence why we lose players like cook and mackreth every summer, and only get our squad assembled last minute out of unwanted players.

bottom of the food chain, but at least its a common sense approach without piling up debt like most in this league.

Absolutely. Don't think anyone is criticising Barrow but just bemoaning the fact that we have a HUGE budget every season and still struggle to beat the teams who don't.

A huge budget? No ofense to you, but really? I think and thought our budget was something like 300k, that's not really alot.

Barrow had 3 loan players tonight. Two from Barnsley and a CB from
Colchester. Jackson the no 12 scored their second and I seem to recall he scored against us last season last minute. Apparently he's a local lad but can't get in the Burnley first team.

A fair result Barrow got their tactics right tonight and only the introduction of our subs changed the game in our favour. A bit of intelligence in CM and creativity, Soares attacking LW which balanced with Colbeck RW and Elding not trying to play through a mass of defenders but moving the ball across a stretched defence.

1566 at Lincoln, not less than 1000 as was stated on here

A links echo reporter assumed it on Twitter taking into account st holders that didn't trun up
