    It's almost Halloween and we are scheduled to have a game tomorrow.

    The game has barely ben mentioned on here which perhaps says much about our excitement for the fixture.

    SMc has already indicated that he does too much tinkering with the team and with its formation and that will change. So on Halloween, will he stick or will he twist?

    I really hope the club from the top to bottom approach this game with the right attitude, that being a positive one and one where they go out believing they will win and the players willing to die for the claret and amber shirt.

    The players and management team need to step up individually and collectively, it’s a team game and the goal on Tuesday was dog and duck standard.

    Nothing but full 90 minute performance is acceptable, we don’t want hard luck stories we want a win.

    Yipeeeeee, an away game at Barrow. Gets the juices flowing, don't it? :(


    Anyhow, any doubts around the game with relentless rain and gales expected?

    Here's pages 4 and 5 from the programme for our last visit to Holker Street on 1 December 1969, City winning 1-0 with a Bobby Ham goal: Barrow v Bradford City 1 December 1969.jpg

    It really makes me laugh when fans say players should be "willing to die for the shirt".

    We all like football but, in the scheme of things, it's pretty unimportant and near the bottom of the list of causes "willing to die for".

    Underdogs against a team that hasn't won a home league game in 46 years. How the mighty fall. Anyway it's Friday just finishing some reports off and then I'm off to get pissed before the Tier 3 party!

    It’s Halloween so it could be a horror show, it’s really a must win game already

    Last time I went to Barrow it was for Rugby League!

    I'm hoping he sticks with a similar formation to Bolton but I'd be swapping Clarke for Samuels. I'm not sure about the back line as its hard to tell how they're performing from the fairly average radio commentary.

    We need to start better/faster, with more commitment. We all know as a collective it's an average squad we have but we must at least put in the effort.

    Might buy a match pass for this one. Right, I need a lie down.... :laughing:

    They like to score goals, we don't. Therefore, sadly I'm going for a home win.

    I think Finn Cousin Dawson will be dropped, and replaced with no idea. Surely he's gotta start Samuels.

    Staunton for BRE, Evans for Cousin-Dawson and Samuels for one of the two upfront. And given just how bad Donaldson was on Tuesday, hopefully it'll be him getting the hook.
