Match Thread Away v Harrogate Town - Sat 17 April 2021 12:30 pm kick off

They are better with a keeper who commands the area better which Hornby did. Bringing OD back was wrong

 

Where did I say bringing ROD back was the right decision?

He's poor and needs replacing, I'm certainly not debating that.

 

With the amount of costly mistakes our defence are making, I'm amazed at the free pass they're getting.

 

No he didn't, however people defending ROD keep banging on to the rest of us that he is a brilliant "shot stopper".
Must watch him in training if that is the case.
Numerous times he gets beaten with shots from distance.

 

And if that's the case why on earth would the defender show the striker inside and onto his stronger foot for a shot?

Primarily that's a defensive error, regardless of whether the keeper should save it or not. The point being that if the defender doesn't make the mistake and shows him outside, the situation doesn't arise.

 

I believe we may not see Canavan again this season.

 

Watt is my biggest concern out of the three. He too often appears lightweight in this division, gets easily bullied on the ball and off it. Against H H Harrow Gate, Watt once more flattered to deceive. For as many passes that he made, he sprayed the ball around poorly, losing us possession often. At least Sutton has a real run at players and tries to make things happen. The problem for both in Lg 2, is that most of the midfield players they find themselves up against are much taller and stronger. They're both slight guys in a big mans' league. As is H H Harrow Gate's skipper Josh Falkingham, but he puts himself about like a ferocious little terrier.

Canavan was a real loss. He's a good experienced organizer. So without him, there was even more onus on ROD to volubly martial his back line constantly, from move to move. I didn't hear or see that on the i-follow live coverage.

Sadly it seems so, Bronco. For me, along with Andy Cook, our best signings by far in the Jan window. My hope is that he returns renewed in pre-season - and wearing the captain's armband.
