Just Back  (merged)

Quoted from arryarryarry

Why wouldn't our players have had recovery time on Sunday and Monday?

Probably most of the squad wouldn't have travelled all that way on the bus as many players don't live in Town and would have met the bus on the way, also it isn't that difficult to spend a few hours sat down, listening to your favourite music, playing cards or surfing the net. It's not that it was a 3.00pm kick off either.

Travelling on a luxury bus for a few hours and breaking up the journey for something nice to eat can't be used as an excuse for such a poor performance.

Totally agree with you.

It's not as if it was a rearranged match out of the blue. Saturday Tuesday games are part of the league structure and not something new. After watching the Bradford game Tuesday night's performance was a huge let down and, as others have pointed out Barrow also played on Saturday away to Gillingham

We now have fitness coaches etc. to ensure the team perform well and Tuesdays performance reflects on them as well. I am not saying Barrow played good football but their players looked as if they hadn't played for a week or 2 and ours looked as if they had walked off BP on Saturday and straight onto the turf at Barrow.

It was a good job Crocrombe had a superb game, as did Waterfall, or else the defeat could have been a rout. What could have gone wrong in that match did go wrong? It looked like poor preparation, poor tactics and poor athleticism.

Quoted from SouthLakesMariner

They were unchanged from Saturday.

Thanks.

Having said that I know from talking to a ex professional in the past this can be an issue. He stated when he played Saturday, Tuesday his performances dipped on the Tuesday due mainly due to the physical. Some managers managed him better eg after a Saturday game didn't start  him on the Tuesday game or brought him on as sub. His performances tended to be better as a result.

Interesting points DB. What I would add as well  is football is all about levels . A player who sacrifices more eg moderates his drinking ,trains well ,eats right etc will maximise or achieve near his potential. Add a good mindset eg commited on the training pitch and on match day on most days and your onto a winner. Think of it like a exam eg 90% to a 65% player. I've seen it before in youth team games at academy's. Some players are decent technically and could of made it in lower league football  but they have little character and it shows and are subsequently released by a  respective coach.

Not even sure it need a debate. We had an off day, we’ve hardly had one since we came back up, we’ve lost only four games and, in my opinion, have had a start beyond what anyone truthfully imagined.

Put it down to experience and move on. Not worth a pointless debate over travelling and whether or not it affected them and all that jazz.

Sometimes you’re just not very good, simple as that. The manager knows, the players know, the fans know. Onward to Hartlepool.

If you went on Tuesday and visited the Spoons; The Furness Railway could you drop me a DM.

Heard of a lot of town fans (currently 9!) that have eaten in there and now have quite severe food poisoning.

Up to 17 town fans now.

Not me but my best mate and his lad did and they've both been unwell.  Will PM u his name and email address so u can get in contact with him.

This is very serious and there are 17 cases and counting,  Someone affected or their family need to report this to Environmental Health.  They need to investigate and find the source of the outbreak.  This might stop there being other poor victims in the future.

Well into the 20s now mate

Far too much of a coincident

Quoted from Norseman

Boroughs left back is Caine Winfarrah who played a few games for town

Didn’t realise it was him and remember his debut, think it’s the only time he played, where he had more than a decent game and I remember a number of fans were surprised he never got another chance. Certainly the stand out player and his goal from outside the area with the outside of his left was well worth the admission fee.
