Match Thread Home v Harrogate Town Tues Feb 22nd @7.45pm

Only seen a few photos of the crowd about 15 minutes before kick off on twitter but was it as sparse as it looked at kick off?
Any guesses on the actual crowd?

 

Spot on

 

8-9k max. Bare in mind, Harrogate practically filled their end so yeah..

 

Walker may have made a difference instead of Daly. Fair point there. The rest have been involved enough this season, and in enough games like today, to leave me thinking that whilst the bench would have been better, the result wouldn’t. If Ridehalgh was fit, we wouldn’t have scored tonight and we’d have been no better defensively. Vernam has the same issues with end product that Gillead does. Eisa - no idea what he’d bring.

 

They are rubbish Fordy! Nothing going for them really. Diamond on loan looks good but Falkingham didnt control the game as he often does and Muldoon - who is decent - did little.

a decent team would have had them buried at HT. Sutton concedes a soft free kick like he did at Newport last season? We slip behind and heads go down. Second half our intensity dropped.

 

They’re but we are a mess!

The club is set up wrong mate.

Rupp as owner - wrong
Sparks as CEO. Wrong
Trueman as manager - wrong.

MESS!

 

Come on everyone. Let’s get things into perspective. The club is in turmoil. Unless you get an owner who has loads of cash and has an ambition to make more money and can employ business people who have been in the football industry for many years who have the capability to turn our club round in say 5 years then were xxxxxd.

 

Did anyone speak to Paul Jewell tonight?

 

Cullens gone down in my estimation he needs to chose better friends .

 

I am sticking by Trueman making us organised tonight and we played with intensity and pressed well. He can't be blamed for 20+ shots not going in and individual defensive errors.

 

Even worse, but that doesn't mean they're not shite.

You could see today how poor of a side Harrogate were.

 

They’ve beaten us in the last 4 mate

 

Haha, I know.

You don't need to convince me that Bradford City under Stefan Rupp are the drizzling shits.

I'm quite well aware, mate.

 

Didn’t deserve to lose that 3-1. Harrogate clinical. Poor goal before half time changes the game. The free kick was quality. The third a breakaway as we pressed. There was fight. There was attitude. 2 up front massively helped. Cook looked interested. Understand the crowds frustration following events but that was miles better than Oldham. Hopefully we’re bottoming out. Shaking the Adams hangover off and improve.

 

What's with these fans on the phone in defending Trueman and wanting him as manager. Last 9 games he has been in charge we have mustered 1 single point.

Trueman is definitely not the answer

 

Ridehalgh early on in the season would make a difference but hasn’t been on the same form since so I understand where your coming from. He was an effective outlet for decent crosses into the box an was relatively solid defensively. He also linked v well with :

Vernam -
may have his off days. But honestly, Id say he’s probably been our biggest attacking threat over this season as a whole. Knows how to beat a man an can create a lot more chances than Gillead

As for Eisa, he’s just been really unfortunate with injuries this season. I’ve seen snippets here an there from previous seasons an he was a player I was really looking forward to watching him this season. Just a shame how things have panned out

I also forgot Angol in the list from earlier. Id say he’s a better target man than Cook

 

Cook was awful

 

Wellens was in the crowd according to Parker.

id take both them together! DoF and manager

 

Overweight. Slow. He missed some bad chances too. Really frustrating watching him run like its through treacle

 

Him and Songoo would fit in at the donkey sanctuary. Get rid of them both.
