After watching highlights, Barrow is doing nothing so right-side player has all the time in the world to cross.
Saying that we have both CBs sandwiching their striker who should do better. He does very well.
Barrow DID (at least) tackle back just before the second goal. Shame that he couldn't either tap the ball out for a throw, or welly it past half-way. The soft/miss-kick was just one of those things
I thought the third goal was offside. I had to ignore the kicker and listen for the kick. Then (to me) scorer went early, and was offside.
The penalty looked ridiculously harsh.
We are still conceding goals near start-time, half-time, 2, 45, 47!!
Live I thought Harriott's goal was a bit of a bundle but it looked far better on replay.
And we are letting him leave?
Rhino had a good game. Wouldn't be surprised to see bigger clubs come sniffing in January. Swift was decent
Unlike some, I thought our LB did mostly OK and saved one certain goal.
It wasn't his fault that Swansea often had extra men on the right.
But unless we get a freak and good result VERY soon, this side has relegated itself, and at least 50% is mental. I honestly believe one 0-1 steal followed by beating a bottom-third side and they could start playing. They show in flashes that they could be a decent side.
I think, though, probably, the best thing to do is break the team up, change the almost-fixed-now mentality. Even if we brought in 5-6-7 (and yes they would need time to gel) it would probably pay. If they took six games, so what? We are hardly expecting more than three points from those six games anyway, and if the newbies couldn't then start us winning well and stay up, at least we would be on the way to a fresh not-expecting-to-lose-every-game team (that will bounce straight back.
