Clements to Barrow

Agree about the turnover of players (& managers for that matter). I too feel very disconnected from the club.

Doesn't make it any better but it is virtually the same at every League 2 club. Perhaps it just goes with the territory?

Is it? I'm not sure other clubs have the same turnover as we do. We've started handing out two year deals now, unfortunately to poor quality footballers in my opinion, injury prone players and ageing journeyman. Mistakes we made in the past, mistakes we paid for so dearly. That said, a quick look at the table shows we are somehow much closer to the top seven than the bottom two. That amazes me as we are shite, I suppose aside from Tuesday, we've either won or lost so the points tally isn't as bad as it could be.

In think it's worth mentioning to those who are ludicrously claiming it's the worst ever and that they want Slade out, that there is a sense of perspective to be considered. A look at the league table after 10 games will see clubs of similar size or history making a worse job of it than we are. Clubs recently in league 1 even, whilst we wallowed in the conference - something a lot of folk on here seem to have forgotten in their declaration that the club is 'rotten to the core'. Go tell it to Chesterfield, or Port Vale fans, who enjoyed L1 football last year and are now on their a*se at the foot of the league table, and turning over loads of average players. Or Colchester perhaps, or Crewe - also in L1 a short time ago. Similar sized clubs all, and all below us. And Carlisle. Oh dear. And Yeovil. Not going great for them is it. I know it's a pretty shabby looking team and style of play at present, but Luton have only got 5 more points than us and they've been back in league 2 for 4 years, spent some wedge and get 8k crowds.

If he is fit and playing well he will be back in January

If he is playing OK, and Slade can sign better in Jan he will stay at Barrow.

If he is still not fit in Jan his contract will be terminated.

Could also depend if Osbourne is back in training.

If he goes we have got cover even if we do not sign anyone in Jan.

IF ONLY........

My thoughts exactly well said.

Russell slade  the "mans" manager , if this is true you should be ashamed and embarrassed of yourself and further goes on to confirm to myself what I already knew and that's whoever thinks Chris Clements can't get in the team ahead of James Berrett or luke Summerfield then your football ship sailed about 5 years ago me old mucker.

God this fvcking club .

Safe to say we will in the market for a centre mid come January

On a serious note I didn't think Clements was anything special. Certainly think Rose will end up being a big player for us when fully fit and firing and cant wait till Osbourne(J) back. I still think an all action, creative sort with goals in him is what we need although Clements had a knack of being in the right place doesn't fit that bill for me.

Well Jonny - ring John and make sure you've got your CV ready for when RS gets the sack because your knowledge of players and their abilities will undoubtedly get us winning the Champions League in 4/5 years max. Chris Clements was no better last season than James Berrett has been this season - we were inconsistent then, we are inconsistent now.

Moans apart, I think we all qualify under the 'if you can meet with Triumph and Disaster, and treat those two imposters just the same' rule.

We're still flipping here aren't we. It feels like the WWI soldiers song sometimes 'we're here because we're here because we're here....' ad infinitum.
