[F!RTHY]

I know that feeling, this season we bring EVERYONE back to defend throw ins which again is great to watch.

This is just in preparation for the Tozer show in Tues night.

Should be a welcome 3 points on Saturday against MK to propel us nicely back into the top half.

 

[Casey]

I was prepared to have null points (or two) for the first 5 games so to get 7 is bonus.

I didn't expect a new one to be ripped for us down a Swindon so we need a reaction up at Stockport. I'm not expecting a win but a proper showing with some decent football and maybe, just maybe, sneak a point.

It will be interesting to see if we have any more players through the door after selling our highest earner.

Always be reminded that your lads were one of the best outfits to come to EP last season.

We still have literally no plan B so you've still a good chance of coming away with something.

 

[TrinidadsNumberOne]

Every chance of a win this weekend. Whenever we're at home at the moment I always think we can get 3 points regardless of whatever opposition this league throws at us.

O'Riordan at the back improves us immensely. Hopefully be recruiting 3 new signings before this game which will give us the boost we desperately need.

Going scoreless two games running is a worry, but I think MK will be expansive themselves which will give us the room to play our natural game. Eisa is dangerous and we need to watch him. Going for 3-2 to us in an entertaining game.

Clough says we’ll have to score 2 as Andy Cook will obviously score 1 against us

Looking forward to Saturday, hoping for a good cup draw tonight to get everyone buzzing. It’ll be an 8000+ crowd for us as I think I’ve read Bradford have virtually sold it out?

Imagine the team will be the same as last night, maybe Oates in for Swan and potentially Williams for Bowery if he’s fit enough to play more than a half. I’d start Bowery to be fair after his last 2 performances.

Clarke not looking his best in midfield yet but we’ve not got anyone else unless Quinn is ok and if he is I’d expect him to play.

Louis Reed btw Swindon fans, How the fuck was he allowed to leave for a division rival?

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

The BTTS bets have been very profitable so far this season that's to fantastic attacking prowess and shoddy defending. However I do not like this slate of fixtures but will try and find another winning treble.

Tranmere, Crewe and Walsall perhaps?

Mansfield, Notts and Newport.

 

[AdamStag]

We've had a 2-0, 3-0 and 3-2 at home so far this season.

With Andy Cook in town I think Bradford will score, but so will we - i'd certainly go for BTTS on ours - it's 8/11 too

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

Notts Wrexham and Mansfield are usually obvious choices, it's worked well so will repeat against for this Saturday so can afford a losing week, just not as confident as past weekends.

Adam, you can get better than 8/11 for BTTS for your game.

Thanks to Sky visiting the Abbey on Monday, Harrogate away will be my first Barrow game of the season. With the U's Wycombe game off for international call-ups the following Saturday, I might just get up to Holker Street for the first time in ages for the Morecambe game (last visit was the rained off Salford game pre-Covid).

With all the goal scoring options that have come through the door, I'm hoping Saturday will break the Harrogate Hoodoo - for Barrow (3 visits, 3 losses) and Cambridge (nearly messed up our promotion 5-4).

Looking forward to seeing Acquah in the flesh and assuming Dom Telford will get a run out.

Hoping Luke Armstrong might have found a new home and Blackburn kick a few lumps out of them in tonight's game.

Cook could well be out injured. Missed last night with a problem.

I’d still start a 1% Cook against us if I was Hughes

 

[WilsdenBantam]

Sounds like something Hughes would do tbf and injure him for the season.

 

[BlackHaddock]

Home to Gillingham for us. Home win hopefully. Our results haven't been great but we are a much better team than last season in my opinion, whole squad seems more balanced and everyone appears to be happy with the ball at their feet compared to our last few seasons. Finished 11th last season, top 10 this time around!

 

[dan_wrexhamafc]

Managed to actually get an away ticket for once. Been to Prenton park a few times, not seen many successful days on the pitch.
Stockport tickets sold out it less then a minute this morning. These bandwagoners are starting to annoy me

2-2

Hayden with a late equaliser for us, Lee with the other.
Jennings and Morris for them

 

[Indian Dan]

Reckon you’ll sell out Boxing Day at our place?

 

[AdamStag]

Bradford is pretty much sold out across the board. (so in reality about 8,600 or so)

#buildthat4thstand

 

[クレイグ]

Sounds like we'll be without half a team again. Cook is unlikely to feature.

 

[Indian Dan]

Hoping to remain unbeaten at Donny but based on last night they aren’t going to stay winless for much longer.

It was always going to take time to bed 10 new players in plus add a stupidly long injury list into the mix, there are signs that we are turning a corner

 

[Tinpot and proud]

That team put some shift and miles on the clock last night....there’s going to be some delayed fatigue on a quick turnaround.

Doncaster’s fitness markedly dropped against us after 70 minutes and did so the other night - whether this is down to injuries or lack of fitness etc would be one for the donny fans to answer but given the chasing the other night i’d be looking to dominate possession and tire them out.

How many will you give us? Can see us taking 2000.

Bit of a shit boxing day fixture.

 

[Indian Dan]

It’s so long since anyone sold it out, I think it’s between 2-3000. 900 under cover, the rest open

’Away fans visiting the Energy Check County Ground are located in the Arkell’s Stand, with a typical allocation of around 1,200. For larger away followings, the Stratton Bank Stand can be allocated, which holds 2,100.’

Not sure if the 1200 is correct with segregation

Fitness, the injuries haven’t helped but no they aren’t fit. The big question is why?

 

[Conker]

Is Cook fit do we know? Bradford fan I know seems to think he definitely will be playing.

I have the same feeling about Bradford on Saturday than I did Stockport, so hopefully I’m wrong again but I feel like our lack of depth and playing strikers in defence etc is going to catch up on us big time eventually.

Either way I’m looking forward to it, update yesterday was 8000+ sold so expecting a decent atmosphere.

We are missing quite literally a full team but seriously so many clubs seems to be having injury issues atm!?!?

"Late call to be made on Cook."

Could go either way suppose. He was really struggling against Crewe for the last twenty minutes as he could barely walk.

Sounds like a crap bluff to me.
