If we played as well as we talked, we'd be Barcelona!

We owe em more than one. Tin pot club that don't deserve to be where they are after last season. Would love us to be the team that send them down.

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

Yes, we do owe them one but I hate all this 'trash talking' in the papers prior to a game.

Go out there and get the job done first, then come out and say 'We owed you that!'

Because if we don't go out and get a result now, Barker will be left with egg on his face.

egg is on face!

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

I rest my case.

 

[Shrimper]

I think Barker got the wrong type of "owing one" as he kept giving them the ball!

 

[stickyboy]

So you owe them one so why do you play like a useless c*** then?

Exactly this.

We didn't go out there looking like we owed them one. They were much more up for it than we were.

 

[Silencer]

As I have said on another thread, I can handle having to support a cr@p side technically, but what I can't handle is seeing me players shirk responsibility which is exactly what they are doing by moaning about playing at Roots Hall.

If they showed the heart, desire and effort of a poor Aldershot side, we would have ran out comfortable winners. They came out fired up and hungry for the match - we just turned up and expected that to be enough.

BARKER IS THE ANSWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! part 34

We were outfought all over the pitch and Aldershot were worthy winners in the end.The players have got too raise their game and put on a big performance v York on Saturday.

 

[superblue24]

It really is embarrassing. I can't remember the last time one of our players bigged us up to the press before a game and then and backed it up on field.

Joke.
