It's not football that we love this. Its fucking wank. 

 

It really is gash isnt it. A normal matchday feels like a long, long way away right now.

Be like a dog with 2 dicks this lot given the circumstances 

You can just see which way it’s going to go 

I’m struggling to see another point coming until Mansfield at home in November

Fuck me

Glad it isn't just me. 

Not worth the hassle at the moment. 

Watching in silence is an improvement on that useless twat who played the odd game for us. Money for old rope. Shit player, worse pundit

It's when you get used to it and accept that this is the norm that's the problem. If it gets to a point when it's just easier to do this than actually go to a game then it's dead.

I don't want to be enjoying this ifollow experience, I want it to make me miss going to the match more and more every week.

Kin hell this is where we're at.

It's as daft as that line on the concourse at Hull that you can't drink past because there's a small view of the pitch near it 😆

I’m really trying to not fall into this negative mindset (although as I sit here now, at home, pissed watching MOTD) it’s hard not too.

As sad as this may sound, the Saturday afternoon 3pm game for me and the 3 kids (15, 13, 11) is the highlight of our week. We work hard at work/school all week, exercise, do our sports to try and keep healthy during the week. Then buy in the treats (plenty of beer for me) to log in and watch the game.

When we won a fortnight ago we were loving it. it’s shit when we lose. When you’re not locked down and you’ve had the match day experience you quickly get over it, I’m finding defeats while wallowing and arguing on here are really pissing me off!

Im generally a really positive individual, but these defeats, Ifollow experiences and being locked down are really beginning to get me down! 

Which seems ridiculous considering the hardship that folks are really going through in life.

I suppose the one real positive thing through this experience is that the club means as much to me now as it did 35 years ago! 

I suppose I’ll really start worrying when I don’t give a shit.

I’m going to buy the Barrow game now and tell the kids about the exiting night in on Tuesday 🤣

Give or take the kids, I'm with you. 2020 has been a shitter which I've hated most of.

Its not been easy mentally. Basically with my job I have to see whats going on. Mainly depressing then get God knows how many phone calls/emails in how to deal with it. I get paid for it so can't complain, its the negative side of digesting it which gets me.

I go off on one when we lose. Keep saying I've had enough but know full well ill be back soon. Not watching the next 2 though, need a week off

As Martin Tyler keeps saying every match, we've got to be grateful theres football on at all right now and I suppose hes right, because really if you start properly analysing the amount of travelling and mixing these players in all sports are doing it doesnt really make much sense within what we're being told to do. Elite sporting bubbles my fucking arse.

So it's better than nothing obviously, and if theres ever a time I'd like to be banned from going games it's when we're truly shit like now but I do worry about how much damage this whole experience is doing to keeping people especially young kids invested in the idea that going to games with your mates, travelling and getting into adventures is infinitely better than watching it on telly WhatsApping about it.

Is it just me thinks Brocky ain't good enough/ready yet?

He's looked a bit out of his depth thus far imo.

Sarcy could do with losing a pound or 3, then he might be able to get around the pitch a bit better

Evans will shape a team out of this lot soon.

Really? No Doyle. Unless you are creating a load of chances that he’s failing to finish, you don’t drop a proven finisher at this level. It’s tantamount to the morons who were saying drop Anelka after 5/6 games 

I’ve got sympathy for Doyle because of the lack of service but I thought his all round game yesterday was crap. His control and touch were crap. Every time the ball is played to him it bounces off him. We need to change this formation because the three centre halves isn’t working. If we need to go one up top I would go with Delfouneso at the moment because he’s the only striker who looks like scoring a goal at the moment.

I feel your pain and fair play for keeping the kids involved.

It has been a rough ride for so many years but hang in there mate👍

Barrow 3

Bowton 1

 

 

Pleased we’ve another game so quickly, but no idea what the results will be. 

Another Evatt tactical masterclass to sit through with same result Barrow 3-0 Bolton.

The turning point,he returns to haunt his old club and we go on a run.Keep the faith ✊

I want to be confident but the last few years watching Bolton has knocked any confidence I may have once had, another defeat another rant from the manager about not working hard enough in the final third, hope I am wrong but sadly I doubt it

Brockbank should have got a block on the cross for their first goal 

His booking was just petulance after being sold a dummy by one of theirs

He was turned easily by a cart horse of a number 9 outside the box & the cart horse even got a shot on target.

His passing is very decent but never a centre back in the memory of man.

Taft is a bit of a lump but probably knows how to defend better.

Problem with the wing back system is it's not working .Gordon is either hiding or not good enough.The lad from Luton did ok & did manage to get behind their defence for our goal but it's too spasmodic .

Comley started ok but got worse & Tutte at least looks like a footballer.Sarcevic does looks like he is on full stretch ,gave the ball away a lot first half yesterday but improved second half he teed Doyle up who should have scored.

Somehow Evatt has to get our midfield working together .At the moment they give each other suicide passes or just get turned over all the time.

Omg! Chris Taylor plays for Barrow, just watch him have a blinder.

Brockbank is shit but who else is there unless Taft is brought back

I guarantee 3 weeks ago the fact santos was dispossessed for their goal wouldve been brought up

If we play our goalkeeping coach in front of the lad he has brought in i think he will lose a lot of the backers.

3-1 wanderers....it has to happen at some point.
