Barrow vs Swindon - Build up & Match day

[theakston2k]

Results such as today should be the norm in this league not the exception. Let’s hope the big changes the club needs happen and we go back to expecting these kind of scorelines.

Finally big massive ones to the 200 plus who travelled.

Excellent turnout, well done!

Unfortunately we know this, but the ownership doesn't seem to understand it.  Time for the ownership to put up or ship out.

Gunning was positively chirpy today.

Why did Gunning say ''it's hard on the lad'' when talking about McGurk, but then went on to effectively throw him under a bus?

Gunning:
- Coming to Barrow is never easy. People thought we'd come here as a soft touch
- Back 3 fantastic
- Both wingbacks great
- Nandy was head and shoulders above anything else on the pithch
- We only have him because he's been seriously ill
- He's had the best heart people in the world helping him
- He brings a different aspect to our game
- They could have scored 2 in the first 5 mins. So could we
- Did well in second half but didnt punish them on the break
- Drinan and Glatzel: When you are lacking in one position and have too many strikers then Gunning has been trying to accommodate people. He's put too many strikers on the pitch
- When you have the quality of Austin and McKirdy on the bench its great
- People probably thought we'd come here and struggle
- Option on Glatzel. How vital to keep him ?: 'I think that might be taken!' Realistically its tough. Thankfully he didnt score all of those goals where its been cleared off the line. Otherwise it would be impossible. Great business for the club.
- We have McGurk on the bench and its tough for him. He's been a 9/10 and then a 5/10. Glatzel has been a consistent 8/10. That's the difference between them
- When its tough you have to grow broad shoulders
- Really good for us. People were getting jittery.
- It would be good for us to give the young lads a chance.
- Some played today which is fantastic
- Kokolo: Best performance for Town by a mile. If he finds consistency in his game he can be a good player. At times he switches off
- Just heard that we are mathematically safe. No ones proud of how we've done this season
- We have to bounce and try to consistently go to next season.

Tough to keep Glatzel already, Christ.

Exercise the option, has a good start to next season, sold on the august transfer deadline day.

Calling it now.

Especially if this lot are still in charge

That's the biggest kicker tbh

This is why Morfuni should be nowhere near the club.

As soon as someone has half decent form they are moved away- that’s why we don’t have any strong team spine and why we are where we are in the league

Offer Glatzel a 3 year deal this summer. Give him some of Austin's wages. Got to build around this guy.

He'd be tempted to say yes just for the security alone. Got to remember, he's been plagued with injuries in his career so far.

Agree. We should be tying down our assets. Would offer McGurk an extension too.

[UTR]

Agree, can understand the “we’ve been burned with long contracts before” argument with Aguiar but when you have talented young assets like that, you need to tie them down and accept you’ll win some and lose some, if your recruitment and decision making is where it should be then you’ll benefit more from tying these players down than not, the ones you’re not so sure on you can base contract lengths on clauses etc.

Glatzel and McGurk have shown more than enough to warrant that investment if it’s possible
