Match Thread Most liked posts in thread: Away v Harrogate Town - Sat 17 April 2021 12:30 pm kick off

If they were willing to make the big decisions and go two up front and Hornby in goal I would be backing them 100% but I can not see them doing it. It will be half hearted and that is what is pulling my confidence down

 

1 point wouldn't be good at all for us.

Keep saying that draws need to start feeling like defeats.

We should be beating bloody Harrogate.

 

No excuses not to win today, We know how they play with a strong midfield and high tempo, We need to match that and we should beat them, If not.............
P,S, Be good to see John Stead play, We let him go far to early

 

I follow ticket purchased, 9.30pm kick off time in Aus

Get in !!!

 

Just watched "The Duke, in his own words". Only a couple of years old. I thought it showed him in a good light, whatever we think about the Royal Family, got to feel for the Queen at this time , especially at her age.

Settling down for the game now with corned beef with English mustard butty.

 

He didn't dribble it out did he?
Thought he collected it outside his box and dribbled it in.

 

Win nowt for honesty in the penalty area these days. Best to just fall over every time the wind blows.

 

Until referees start giving penalties even if player doesn’t go down then players will continue to dive in the box

 

Three times in a row we just hoof the ball out of the box instead of picking a pass for a controlled exit. Just inviting pressure.

 

Like Anthony O'Connor, Donaldson did reasonably well for a couple of games but it's clear he's playing out of position. Putting him up front with Cook would be the right thing to do. He's done alright winning headers and being physical but he's too deep and doesn't have the skill to play in the position he is in.

 

I’d add Wood to that tbh, they all have in common that they’ve been key parts of the defence through our demise from league 1. I don’t associate anything but failure with the lot of them. Parkinson rebuilt the defence as soon as he could when he came in, and we need to do the same again we’re just weak.

 

T&S have done well, but i think there out of there depth. and it's now showing.

 

I hate this team so much. The lack of quality is frightening.

 

Fecking abysmal. Wingers playing as secondary full backs, Donaldson in central midfield and nobody within a mile of Cook. No intention whatsoever to play football, just boot it forwards and hope for the best. Negative, boring dross in a game we are losing but have to win.

 

Its been awful. I'm trying to make allowances for the lack of quality in the squad, but we look poorly coached in many ways. And too many of these players are just done, or not good enough:

RoD
AOC
PoC
FcD (yet)
Clarke
Donaldson

 

Did anyone notice the exact time and date Billy Clarke was diagnosed with an allergy to footballs?

 

Happened since O'Donnell came back and we've stopped passing and started hoofing.

 

Just finished work and seen that stat. Without Callum Cooke this is a bang average side that doesn't respect the football.

 

We seem to say this every year, but we need a massive clearout and rebuild in the summer. Of the 14 players out of contract, I would probably only offer Scales a new contract, based purely on potential, the rest can go for me.

Evans, Vernam, Crankshaw, Watt and Sutton should only be back-up players next season if they are still here, we need a much stronger midfield

New keeper, defence and strike force needed too

 

My god Vernam is a bad player.

Easily the worst player on our books.
