Barrow vs Swindon Town Pre Match & Matchday

[Legends-Lounge]

Quote - Peter Venkman

Well our form this season in all games is now LWLWLWWW thats a pretty good start TBH and something we can build on. Winning breeds confidence even if it’s in a near meaningless cup game.

Barrow on Saturday have LLLWLWL

Barrow fans not overly confident about playing us

So a nailed on win then?

I can't see Holloway changing a winning side, especially given how well we played at Crewe.

Is Wilson-Brown a doubt? If so, Kirkman slots straight in at left centre back. Deserved too after his performance last night.

So nice having this depth. I don't consider this a drop in quality at all if it happens. I think Kirkman is brilliant and unlucky not to be starting regularly.

On the negative side it would be such a Swindon thing for so much positivity to be knocking about and be followed by a pitiful performance and  a defeat!

On the positive side I'm not going so a win is hopefully guaranteed!

We are going to win.

That is an unusual statement from mr glass half full muggins here.

Holloway would be silly to change a winning team unless he has to, Wilson-Brown has some form of viral infection apparently so could well be doubtful for Saturday but as you say Kirkman is an ideal replacement.

I guess we will also see if Clarke is available or not after his misdemeanor at Cardiff.

He was yesterday so no club internal issues. No idea who is investigating or when its due to complete though, which I guess was your point..

3 away wins in a row would be lovely.

I think we're due a draw as we haven't had one yet, but hopefully we can keep building momentum.

Barrow 1-2 Swindon

It can’t be any worse than Barrow away last season…

But you can't just shoot at an outfield player in goal DV

I can't believe he said that and kepta straight face. We literally did that once and scored.

For anyone who doesn't have a dodgy Firestick....note that the game (as are all EFL games) is on Sky Sports+

Helps when you have one too, more channels to choose form. Although you have to flick between about 25 unmarked Sky Sports + channels.

You got me wondering when was the last time we achieved that? I asked ChatGPT and it said it was 1986*. That didn't seem right so I did a bit of digging and we won 3 in a row in early 2019, culminating in the 2-1 win where Keshi Anderson smashed home the winner, a goal more infamous for the reaction of an Franchise fan who recorded and posted his own reaction on Twitter. "Oh no, 2-1 Swindon". I'd share the link if I could find it!

In early 2021 we won at Crawley, Salford and Grimsby, scoring 10 goals and conceding 2 across the three games. Doyle got 6 in 3.

And in October 2021 we won at Rovers, FGR and Sutton. That seems to be the last time it happened unless I've missed something.

*The 1986 run seems to have been three consecutive games played away form home, i.e. with no home game in between. In fact, we had no home games at all over the period of 2 months from 12 Jan to 15 Mar, so we played six straight away games winning every single match.

Gotta be due a draw at some point.

Ben Whitfield suspended for Barrow. Easily their best player.

3 game ban for violent conduct, that will help us hopefully. Now play with a CB in goal like most of the game last time please
