That would be a good move. Barrow will drop like a stone. People said similar when Ian Evitt left them. They did they we're down the bottom under Phil brown.

I still don’t think they will. They’ve got a decent budget but when I look at their squad there aren’t many above average L2 players. Not sure about that. Said last season that with the players they had they should have done even better than they did. Hughes for me has been lucky he has lasted as long as he did at valley parade. At least we ridded ourselves of our rusk problem early and the rest has been history. If they get the right man in charge i can see them being a challenger to us by the end of the season. What players are they? Lewis, Pattison and Cook aside it looks an extremely average squad this time round. They’re weaker than last year.

I’m having second thoughts about wanting him here at some point! Some of our lot would be raging with Ben if he conceded the goals Lewis did against Tranmere on Tuesday.

Didn't expect that either being up there though struggling for goals. Thought he'd have credit in the bank after the turnaround in the second half of last season too. Maybe the Americans demand more entertainment!

Not sure I’ve seen anywhere on here about Gollingham sacking Neil Harris. Apologies if it is a Marsden.
Edit. Marsdened while I was typing !!

Makes a blunder every time I see him. He's got an outstanding penalty save record though. His reputation with our lot was also heightened by what looked a wonder save at the Cheadle End last season in the 0-0. Highlights showed it simply hit him in the face and he knew nothing about it.

Yeah made a few gaffes so far this season.

Nah, I’d have beaten you if I hadn’t spent so long checking if it had already been posted 😀 Really unusual for it to take so long for something to reach this board that I couldn’t believe it.

His reputation with Bradford fans who saw him weekly was that he was very good last season though. Wasn’t just against us.

From a very quick scan of their board, the consensus seems to be surprise it's happened this quick but in agreement.
Made me think. Would most fans rather see their team with slightly fewer points but a lot more goals and entertaining games, even if it means more losses.

Winning is the most entertaining thing in football. I'd happily see us go full on route one every week if it meant we won the league.
Clubs need to be careful what they wish for sometimes.

Ideally yes, but they've lost their last four away from home. Plus if they go behind in a match then it's pretty much game over, they've never won after going behind first under Harris. Rarely (if ever) score more than 2, averaging one goal a game since the takeover & that's with some decent resources put in and star signings made - I'd certainly have loved County to sign the likes of Lapslie, Williams and Bonne. Those figures don't add up to a promotion challenge, which is what the Gills ownership will be expecting, not unreasonably so.

He's not been good since he left Leyton orient in 2019 - 30 goals in 162 games. He's only 5'7ft so it's not like he's a target man and has players running off him.
