Peter Winthorpe Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Think we have had the Sheffield topic to death and can move on: Now that Chris has had a training session with the players and had a chance to talk to them about the rumours, I hope there will be an initial holding statement from the club, to stop the constant rumours. Barrow are playing very well and given their fist 4 results should be in the playoffs at season end. Given that this is the cup and a Derby will we be hammered or can we provide genuine competition. They have several ex Town players, Stack, Ritson and Sammit, who we would take back tomorrow, but who may or not stand out in the tussle. What is likely to be the Town support particularly as the game is to be televised. DPSC can't fill a coach, so likely to be poor. The Barrow fans should and may come out on mass. Likely result given likely Towns likely poor morale, injuries and suspensions, head says no contest but heart says it will be much closer than we all expect!! Over to those who know better than me.

town4me Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 It's a tough fixture away to a club who have added quality throughout their squad. An improved defensive performance and Getting through it without Injuries will do. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoopdog Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 I would expect there to be a reaction from last week's performance, until Sundays and Mondays games I think most of us would have expected us to go their and give a good account of ourselves, my expectations haven't changed and I'm sure Chris will have them prepared to get at least some redemption.

The Voodooguru Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 I was going to make the trip, but not bothering now. I'll just watch on the telly given the performance in the last game. 1 The race is not always to the swift nor the battle to the strong, but thats the way to bet!

Bearman Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 I have no doubt that Paul Crarey will see this as a potential banana skin. There is no such thing as an easy derby game. Every Town player will be up for it. I just hope the Raiders are prepared. The form book will be out of the window come Sunday. 1 Ron Banks Midlands Hurricanes and Barrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Voodooguru Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Quiet on here! I'm sure we will give barrow a game today as there has to be a reaction from the disappointment of last week. Hopefully Dec & Walker will be extra eager to put wrongs right. The wind might make things interesting, but we know how they play and who the danger men are, although it's difficult to plan for the off the cuff stuff that Sammut & Miloudi play so need to shut them down early. Forster comes alive 10 yards of our line, and Tee can't run with no room. We have shown we can compete, and hopefully get a half decent ref this time. We have our own threats and they will undoubtedly target Jammer but he will be right up for it too. I know it's against popular belief but I think it will be tight with both teams going for it on telly. Heart says 20 - 24, head says other way round. No bans or injuries please and I'm going with my heart! UTT The race is not always to the swift nor the battle to the strong, but thats the way to bet!

Cumberland Sausage Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Fear the worst but hope I am wrong. With Injuries,Suspensions and Leavers making what was already going to be a difficult season even harder we need some extra bodies in quick if we are going to try and salvage anything from the next few months. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Settle.for no injuries or suspensions I think if we had a full squad he would have been dropped, as it is we've took 19 today, but apparently at least one had no chance of playing and is a filler.
