Agreed, the shift has completely put us on the back foot. Looked comfortable controlling the possession up until that Dixon mistake and next thing you know we've got panic ensuing and can't defend corners.BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Tue Nov 22, 2022 9:14 pmYeah 2-0 at half time and you have to feel this was done. Dixon being rubbish has let them back in and our inability in set pieces finishes the job. Right now we are very poor. They look the better side. Completely lost momentum.
Just looks like Barrow want it more. If we can't match them theres a good chance we can pull an Argentina.
Doesn't help that Kachunga's not attacking crossed balls, had a reasonable chance but didn't look at all like attacking it. Thankfully he's on for the tap in. Lovely work by Dapo yet again and easy as you like for Kachunga.
Happy to be proved wrong on us performing badly thankfully.

Jeezus! I step away for a bit to administer the wife's meds and come back to this crazy scoreline And I can't rely on the kettle because it's carrying a knock!
Age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill!
And the key to a result is a good

Dropped nicely for Santos then. I thought that was it. The Moment. But then I thought Kachunga wasn’t a goal threat. And look at him now.
Re: Will we need a Sherpa to scale the peaks against Barrow? - Papa John's Trophy v Barrow 7:45pm
This officiating is abysmal.
How was Kachunga offside there?
Barrow no penalty for clear handball.
Dapo getting smashed left right and centre.

Yeah, I suspect Kachunga's quite competent when he's actually attacking.BorsdaneWhite wrote: ↑Tue Nov 22, 2022 9:26 pmDropped nicely for Santos then. I thought that was it. The Moment. But then I thought Kachunga wasn’t a goal threat. And look at him now.
Miles better than Clayton (i'll run to the corner flag) Donaldson.

He is better than Clayton Donaldson, I’ll give you that. Low bar!
Re: Will we need a Sherpa to scale the peaks against Barrow? - Papa John's Trophy v Barrow 7:45pm
That was always Donaldson's problem, bar was too low, and goal too not wide enough, and nowhere near the corner flag. We really should've stopped doing those pre-match shooting drills near the corner when he was playing.officer_dibble wrote: ↑Tue Nov 22, 2022 9:34 pmHe is better than Clayton Donaldson, I’ll give you that.

Feels like our sloppiness is creeping in yet again.
Wouldn't be a Bolton match if we werent having a goal disallowed and complaining about refs.

Clayton Donaldson has scored 195 league goals in his career. A decent portion of those in league one and championship.Mar wrote: ↑Tue Nov 22, 2022 9:36 pmThat was always Donaldson's problem, bar was too low, and goal too not wide enough, and nowhere near the corner flag.

Kachunga has bagged 24 league goals in his career.
According to soccerbase.
Bit of a gulf there.

He’s better than the Clayton Donaldson that turned up for a season at our place then!

I'm sure he'd also argue that Heskey had a better record too. Doesn't mean it's a good decision to have an over the hill Heskey / Donaldson at the club. Our Donaldson is nowhere near the player that got 1 in 3 elsewhere.officer_dibble wrote: ↑Tue Nov 22, 2022 9:47 pmBWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Tue Nov 22, 2022 9:42 pmClayton Donaldson has scored 195 league goals in his career.

Anyone who would have Donaldson over Kachunga is legally thick.

Strange this attendance...
Attendance: 2,381 (585 Barrow)
I'm sure the Qatari's had us down for 32'000 in attendance last night.
In all seriousness, that's a good turnout from Barrow. Less so from ourselves but I suspect we're a bigger draw for Barrow than vice versa. Especially a day after a world cup fixture too.
As for the disallowed goal...
It's a good call from the refs.

Next round opponent possibilities:
Bolton
Everton U21 or Mansfield
Salford
Accrington
Lincoln
P.Vale or Barnsley
Man Utd U21
Burton
Obviously there are one or two there to avoid!!
