National League Fixtures - Opening Day 03/08/19

[MrGloverLover]

Absolute farce at Barnet, over 100 of our fans were locked out of the ground until 30 minutes into the game because there wasn't enough seating open.

 

[Fyldefan]

Gime Toure scores

 

[Soup Ladle]

And the league's best striker has pulled one back for us.

 

[#Beebot]

Naive adventurousness worn down by turbo timewasting. That pretend fight wasted about three minutes alone (not that we'd have achieved owt during that time)

If you're getting beat at home by us playing a flat 442 with 3CMs in midfield and a centre back on the wing, it's not a good sign.

You looked well short of quality today - suspect you will need some reinforcements soon to avoid getting into a battle down at the bottom.

 

[EnglishRed]

The problem with Wrexham is that they always try to walk it in.

Strangely we've been on top for most of the game. But Barrow should probably be 2 or 3 up.

Comedy airshot by Quigley the highlight of the game so far.

 

[Master D]

They are engraving Barrow’s name on the cup as we speak.

We are nervous as fuck, playing right into their hands. Plus we can’t defend any kind of set-piece.

 

[Southern Shayman]

Everyone will be dreadfully sad to hear that Nathan Ashmore has thrown one in to his own net.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer bloke

 

[MrGloverLover]

Bollocks

 

[MrGloverLover]

1666 at The Hive today with 553 (eventually) from Yeovil.

 

[Master D]

Barrow have had 500 corners in this match.

 

[B2TF]

Top o' the league. Funny how things work out.

 

[BarraMatt]

Sounds like we're picking up where we left off last season, not ramming home an advantage when we're in the ascedancy (usually first half), then getting bitten on the arse in the 2nd.

 

[OneDecentLester]

Just checking in to show my face before everyone assumes I’ve disappeared again

And yes, we are still shit

 

[Southern Shayman]

He’s also now been lobbed by our centre half, from in his own half hahaha

 

[Chief Rocka]

It’s written in the Holy tomes of old that we are required to lose to Sutton, never a 3-1 game, we were pushing for an equaliser when they broke and got the third.

First half performance killed us, Sutton were dead on their legs after an hour and we still couldn’t get an equaliser.

Hignett has a lot to think about.

We'll give it a couple of days.

 

[spireite]

Haven't gone as been in hospital having our 2nd delivered and stuff. But I am assured it was a terrible performance. They're in for a Sheridan hair dryer.

 

[doveranddover]

Well i'm quite happy with outcome from the game at Chesterfield

 

[JaredSUFC]

Get in there

 

[Master D]

All us that second half, we came out all guns blazing after a shit-scared performance in the first half.

The MAIN MAN Hooper had a good debut, goal and an assist. We've got more about us going forward but are more susceptible defensively. We've still got 3 first choice players to come into the side.

Just under 6000 there.

We were utterly fucking abysmal in the first half, what had they been doing all pre season?

Better second half but seriously that's such a crap way to start the season.

I'm already resigned to 15th place again.

 

[Master D]

So obvious that you'd shithouse a win there today.

 

[BeesKnees]

I think now is the right time to welcome Notts county to non League.

It gets better.

 

[AJS]

I know people will say we played against 10 men the whole game pretty much but last season we'd have gone on to draw that 0-0. To win 4-1 away from home is impressive against any team. Not bad for a team dubbed to be the whipping boys.

You played against 10 men for the whole game pretty much.

 

[AdamStag]

Chesterfield losing at home to Dover?

 

[chief]

Barrow are a dirty side. It's a miracle we walked away without an injury.

I think we only played better second half cos Sutton were playing like a team who's spent half a day on a train.

Positives, Mafuta looks very good, Featherstone changed the game when he came on, has to start next game for me, Toure is going to be a frustrating player to watch but there's something there and Raynes I thought was solid, minus one fuck up towards the end.

Negatives, James was non existent, he does nothing but run, no end product, Kennedy looked like a Pools fan had won a competition to play with the first team, RCN at left back had a stinker got beat time and again and Fraser Kerr was rotten, not overly convinced with the keeper either, doesn't look very big, feel like Loach would've done better with the first goal.

 

[jacobncfc]

Here as we mean to go on! Reds everywhere.

Doyle being suspended is frankly a good thing, he’s finished. Otherwise got to give them time, nothing in the game other than us playing a selection of full backs at centre back so not being able to defend set pieces. See what Tuesday brings.

 

[karlready]

We tried hard. Fylde are slick and cynical, as expected. Shamir Mullings is big.Full stop. Walked home with that familiar losing feeling. I really don’t know where the goals are going to come from.
