DomRepWanderer Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Playing total hoofball under Parkinson, and total fuck knows under Hill, what he said above, it's hard to judge any player on the shit we've had to endure over the last few years, we don't know how this mon will pan out, but listening to him I'm more excited than I have been in the last few years about the start of the season.

Id bet good money crawford has never earned over 3k a week Hes not an expensive signing Lowe will get better offers than 3k imo Suppise it will depend whether hes happy playing for buttons and where he wants to live Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyrotten Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 2 hours ago, Matt said: Definitely and he’s cover for right back. Hopefully not. I'm hoping we never go down that road with Evatt. Full back gets dropped or injured, "versatile" midfielder fills in for a game or 2. Manager realises he's better than the regular right back. Never gets back to having his normal influence on a game in midfield and a lesser player takes his place. Happened with Lowe and Bridcutt last season.

Johnnyrotten Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 I think Lowe's underrated, in terms of his tackling and speed at getting around to cover other players mistakes. Every game, he makes great covering tackles and sets a great example. He's well above Div 2 level, but so are Crawford and Darcy, so you never know. We also need a captain in the place and at the moment we don't have any contenders, I can imagine Evatt will want someone of that ilk.

It's tough to tell just how shit our players have been for the last few years given there is no evidence that any coaching ever took place. To an extent, I'd agree. Be interesting to see if IE sees him fitting into the set up, and if he can change his game accordingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you watch a top team battling to get the ball back asap, it's apparent how readily attacking players seek to do this. A team ethos. This seems to be very much IE approach. Hopefully, the need for an out and out ball winner will be diminished to an extent. Guess we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I just remind everybody we're in the fucking 4th division. just close the upper tiers so you can go forth and multiply. Evatt got out of Non League playing that way and your point is?????

Fair point tbh, just think it would keep squad running costs down plus he’s a decent right back. Think he will get offers in the 3rd tier anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErnestTurnip Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Lowe had made plans to settle round here so think he would prefer us or somewhere local but the life of a pro is going where the work is I suppose. This Barrowcelona thing, do any of our non league followers know if Evatt embraces it fully and plays that way every game ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErnestTurnip Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 I'm feeling very positive about it, already said I didn't see how FV could appoint anyone else really and because we're still on the wedding night I wouldn't normally want to temper that in any way but... ...look at the comments about Crawford's signing and we're a couple more decent additions away from being in the same situation PP ended up in in the L1 promotion season where in the view of some on here "he should piss the league with that squad" and so he was in a lose/lose situation for those lot ...Barrow have got promoted for being 4 points above Harrogate, in a normal season they would have still had to play Harrogate at Harrogate and they got dicked 3-0 at home at the start of the season so they haven't romped away with it due to them being by far and away the best team in the league Evatt's got the chance to build something long term here with his own players and own style but it might not be an instant hit and we shouldn't expect it to be, ideal situation for me is him still here in 5 years with a core of players who buy in to what he is trying to do and with us getting results more weeks than not.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted July 4, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted July 4, 2020 I’d rather have the pressure of everyone thinking we are the best team in the division rather than being a surprise package.
