We've won 5 games this season and so have Barrow. Are we that terrified of them that we've written ourselves off? Yes, we are excrement but so are they! We can win on Tuesday I refuse to give up just yet!
Unfortunately, 3 of their wins have come in the last 5 games, so they are in much better form than us. Not that I think we can't win there, just that they are the more likely to.

We could possibly beat them if the players actually cared or wanted a win. I honestly think they are happy to run around for an hour and a half, get paid and go home. Lack of talent you can forgive, Lack of intelligence isn’t their fault. Lack of effort there is no excuse for. They’re all just seeing out their time on easy street. They have no pride towards or commitment to this club and it shows. Their attitude is an insult to the club and Paul Hurst. I’d rather see 11 local lads out there giving it 100% every week and losing than these selfish, self centred losers. 30 years ago the Clee Park would have annihilated this bunch.
EDIT. Forgot how old I am...40 years ago the Cleethorpes Park would have annihilated this bunch.

Totally agree. The rot started with oloway in the summer and hasn't changed. You don't know what he, or Fenty, promised them if but it's not what they are getting, then they are not going to be motivated.

I'm convinced I have played with better players in local football than some of the players we have now. I watch them and think, why can't you control and pass a football? Why can't you cross a dead ball into the danger area? Why can't you hit a shot with power and direction? It's shocking that they can't even manage the basics of the game. Not all of them, but enough to make us toothless as a functioning side. We have too few decent players, trying to compensate for the ones not up to standard. Add in a lack of confidence, and yesterday a pathetic lack of fight and spirit, and it's a recipe for relegation. I'm hoping against hope that yesterday was the absolute bottom, and we start to improve greatly from here on in. Mansfield have gone from the bottom end of the form guide right to the top spot with 5 wins on the bounce. It can be done, though I do understand they have a better squad than us. Gonna be a big week for us.
