[4D]

I reckon Supermarine would batter us.

[MarkyTee]

I reckon Supermarine would batter us.

I reckon that U11 girls team that were on at half time would batter us

Flynn:
- Performance has got to be better
- Injury list has taken its toll
- January cant come quick enough
- Clem over at the end of next week
- Team picked itself as we didnt have others
- The players picked are better than they performed today
- Am asking same players playing every minute. But they have to be better
- Too slow with the ball
- Turned down crossing and shooting opportunities
- Almost that 'edginess' about them today
- There is a lot going on but we cant do anything about that
- Have to ask them about psychological scars
- Energy was there. Didnt stop working
- Too easy to score against
- Know they are a big team. But we gave them free headers
- They should be worried. Its their careers. Careers go at the click of the fingers. It becomes even shorter if you dont put the work in
- Young hasnt  trained all week as he hurt his ankle
- We need players back. We need help
- Not because the players know there is no competition
- Their careers depend on it. They should be seizing opportunities
- Lots of big clubs looking at players. If you are a plyer, you'd want them to be looking at you
- Injuries have taken their toll. Couldnt pick the formation Flynn wanted
- Shade was ill
- FBT is injured. Hamstring. 2-4 weeks
- They are definitely trying. The preformance just wasn't good enough

Flynn has that extraordinary gift that when interviewed he gives the impression that things that happen on the pitch are nothing to do with him. You can't keep saying week after week "we're too easy to score against without doing fuck all about it.He baffles me

[4D]

One positive, these abject shite performances are saving me money.

[Jimmy Quinn]

I get pissed off hearing him say the opposition are a big team……look for some big fuckers then in the transfer window national league if need be😡

[Nemo]

It has been two months and 12 games since we kept a clean sheet.

[Jimmy Quinn]

Scored 43 conceded 43

[Batch]

that was shite. Like last week we were outmuscled.

Were barrow technically good? Not really. Organised and strong yes.

By comparison we were Powder puff and ineffective in all areas today. I appreciate we do have an injury list that isn't totally squad investment related but fuck me.

[adje]

Is this the longest we've gone without scoring this season? Seems like it

[UTR]

Not a massive amount to add that’s not already been said. 3-0 down to Barrow and them resting players against us is a pretty depressing place to be.

Going to state the obvious but the clubs in a very dangerous area now. We’ve seen a snapshot into non league life today, and whilst it’s not an imminent threat this season, if we’re sucked down there in years to come under this regime then we won’t come back for a long time barring a miracle.

Again, nothing against Barrow but to see clubs like that getting it right on the pitch whilst we aren’t is tough take whilst also having to listen to the forward thinking and well structured plans of clubs like Stockport. I saw a tweet recently something like “every day I log into this app hoping for a shred of rumour that we’re being sold” and whilst funny, that’s exactly where I am as well.

[Frigby Daser]

The hope of seeing a credible sale rumour is all there is to cling onto
right now.

[Outletred]

The hope of seeing a credible sale rumour is all there is to cling onto
right now.

I think there are investors and interested parties out there but they won’t get involved with the current shady hangers on here and who can blame them?

[UTR]

I wonder how much the stadium deal plays into a potential sale.
