[Mrs Warbouys]

Simply too open and too easy that last night, we've needed a new midfielder since Griffiths had our trousers down months ago, and I don't hold out much hope in is finding one now, got to play to our strengths. Be more solid and hope we can nick a result.

...........................Deasey
....Havern.............Holness........Leather
Sinnott.........Moult...........Richman......Griffin
................lawrie.............Ginnelley
...............,,...........Reeves

[Alty Dave]

That's how I would have changed it last night. Especially if Crowther is injured? He was on the ream sheet last night as starting.

[taxi Phil]

Crowther is perpetually injured or ill, and has become a luxury we can't afford.  If we bring anything back from Holker Street it'll be a single point, and I don't even expect that. A 200+ mile round trip that I can't be bothered making.

[robininstockport]

That's pretty much how I'd go Figgy,  but I fear it won't be that formation or personnel.

[brian1925]

Crowther wasn't up for it on Saturday either - just a lightweight not up to the challenge unfortunately. Also on the right side, Jordan Sinnott (who despite the best efforts of some posters on this forum IS NOT A RIGHT BACK) was too easily beaten by Sampson. So, that's basically nothing on our right. If I were the opposition, I'd just focus all my efforts on this side - too easy. I also don't share the Lawrie optimism on here lately - he gives the ball away time and time again. Reeves/Rankine, whoever, they are completely isolated. We need 2 or 3 new players, sorry guys.
At the mo I'd go...
Deasy
Luca, Leather, Holness
Griff, loan right back
Richman, Moult, Ginnelly, loan winger
Reeves or Rankine

[Mrs Warbouys]

Got to start being bold, the situation is retrievable but we've simply got to play to our strengths. We had a right midfielder at right back last night when we didn't have a competent solution in right midfield. Ginnelley worked his socks off but couldn't get any joy as he was left with too much to do and very little help. The times gone to make significant changes unless we can magic up a right back and a central midfielder from somewhere. We've go three decent centre backs, a left back, a decent enough right midfielder a couple of hardworking centre midfielders and some attacking prowess. Use what we've got rather than trying to put people in out of place. If we have to not play 4-4-2 then so be it, it's about results now and nothing else. Gateshead are a decent side, and if we had not fluffed our lines against copious amounts of sh*t so far this season you could afford a defeat at home to them. We can't afford defeat to anyone now. Still hoping we produce a midfielder from somewhere before Saturday but if not then we've got to change it

The Marcus Marshall thing, if it could come off, would make a big difference. I noticed lately that Ryan Higgins has been on the bench at improving Chester - would be a perfect replacement for Dens if available. I agree, it's not too late, but our present first team will get relegated.

We might get 1 loanee in but can't see anymore than that

Chester won't lend us a player whilst stil mathematically in it. We need to be talking to league two sides about experienced midfielders

Exactly Pete. Is there another Cavanagh sitting on the bench somewhere ?

[brian1925]

Griffiths was 'another Cavanagh' sitting on a bench somewhere. Surely to God, we need some pace and width, as we are too narrow and predictable. I thought that lad from Bradford was thinking along the right lines.

[TheCultOfIanTunnacliffe]

Has anyone else noticed that Barrow haven't won a home match since 28th November 2015...?

[arnald]

3 points then tunny I never noticed

playing 5 at the back isn't bold,not to say I disagree with your team

[Mrs Warbouys]

I meant bold as in the manager changing his approach and not playing 4-4-2 not bold as in formation
