Official Match Thread Barrow v Southend United

[Tangled up in Blue]

Ox,
Elvis, JW, Hobson, Hart,
Eggers, Cordner, Holmes, Taylor RHF
Halford

Is that the line up?

Hard to see much more than Nil ?

Yeah but with Holmes upfront alongside Halford.

So is Akinola injured or has he been banished with ANG?

I've been wondering this for a while and did pose the question last week but no one seemed to know anything.

Cordner, Taylor,

Eggers, Holmes Halford, RHF

 

[Bearded Shrimper]

Starting XI: Oxley, Bwomono, Hobson, Cordner, Egbri, Hackett-Fairchild, Halford, K. Taylor, Holmes, Hart, White (C)

352?

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

So it's a Rush second-half hat-trick then?

We just need to win apparently.Which seems difficult enough.

That should have been the mantra from 1st September

Maybe Akinola and ANG are the ones being referred to when PB mentioned certain players hiding in the treatment room

I think PB’s sort of player has an injection and gets on with it- which is why he likes players like Dieng, Demetriou, Holmes, White, McCormack. They are desperate to play and stick their hands up when the chips are down. Think he sees that in Egbri and Cordner too.

People ask why he plays RHF- similarly I think he does what he’s asked to do and works his nuts off. I’ve noticed he has putting himself about more as well even if his tackling is out of the Paul Scholes school sometimes.

that's my fault - I was the quantity surveyor at the main contractor when the stand was built and i got the lettering put in the seating layout.

Really? I thought his tackling was more David Mooney or Robson Kanu? Half hearted and just effort for show without any conviction 9 from 10 times.

Just go for it, I just want to see some attacking football (Colchester aside) it's been refreshing seeing PB style of play rather than MM.

 

[Whispering Bob]

If that is a 3-5-2 then I'm slightly puzzled, because wouldn't Elvis and Egbri and Hart and RHF be occupying the same part of the pitch? Very interested to see how we shape up.

Ah-ha forgot Cordner is suddenly a midfielder.

 

[chipmunx]

I can see this ending up like Harrogate v Cambridge United did last night.....

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Ah-ha forgot Cordner is suddenly a midfielder.

He can run at least.

Makes sense starting just the six defenders not like we need goals is it.
