Away for us, we don't win away so enjoy your three points Carlisle

Without checking I feel like our record against Carlisle is crap too. I'd happily take a point if offered one now. A nice boring 0-0 to ruin Carver's cup final.

no win in our last 5 vs them. 3 Wins, 4 draws 4 losses since 2016

Newport struggling for numbers in various spots and form. We're on the back of 4 straight wins and a great performance against Harrogate. Fantastic chance for win number 5. Doubt Bell will make any changes, only question mark is over whether Omar Bogle will be fit to face his former club, which I'm sure he'll want to do.

Would probably take a point, but hoping for another 3.

8th game of the season and already our 3rd 'top v second' fixture of the year. Won't pretend to know too much about Barrow other than they've taken Clemence and Connor Mahoney from our 23/24 setup.

At home we're unbeaten this calendar year in the league so no reason to fear anyone at Priestfield but it's obviously a game to be wary of. We had a comfy 3-0 win in the spring against them as they imploded at the back end of last season, but they've got the better of us a couple of times as well in recent times so there isn't really any form to go on either in that regard. I don't expect a lot of goals in this one as it's the best defence v the 2nd best, but it'd be cracking to score a couple and win comfortably which we're more than capable of.

As ever the injury list will be playing a massive role in who we can call upon, so any starting XI guesses will have to wait until late next week. I don't think we've picked up anything new from Notts yesterday, and we'll have Ethan Coleman back from suspension at the very least.

2-0 Gills.

If we're serious about a promotion push away at poor form Morecambe has to be a win.
Our record isn't great there but it wasn't at Bromley and we won.
First away game of the season and looking forward to it.

Mahoney is out injured - has been for about a month, so he won't be playing.
Clemence has us playing some attractive attacking football at present and we are also probably the most threatening i've ever seen a Barrow team from set pieces - particularly corners, where we've headed in 4 goals in the last 4 league games.

 

[クレイグ]

Sarcevic, Walker, Kelly, Baldwin, Byrne, Richards, and Adams all out injured. Jamie Walker is a massive miss. Still fancy us to beat Harrogate. 2-1 City.

Your sounding very confident about this one and I like that….but Barra is a different animal this season….if you get a point in this one youve done well, in my confident opinion

1-3

Like I say we haven't lost at home this calendar year so I think it's fair to be confident at Priestfield. I think we have a very talented, deep squad and we've picked up some very impressive results this season. A major difference between us and other sides this season that I've noticed is the strength of the players we've had available to bring on from the bench, a lot of clubs just don't have the depth we do - for example yesterday bringing on the likes of Jack Nolan, Jonny Williams, Jacob Wakeling and Oli Hawkins, a really strong quartet. We're also very effective on the counter, so if you come here attacking as your fellow Barrovian suggests then that will probably suit us.

Looking at your results, other than the impressive win over Port Vale I don't think you've beaten anyone particularly strong, which in itself doesn't mean much as a win is a win, but I think we've had tougher games than Barrow already this season and come through ok (bar the Doncaster defeat).

So in a nutshell, yes - I'm reasonably confident. But that doesn't mean a thing in which I think will be a very tough fixture, and were we to come up short then so be it.
