Not sure he'd come, his dads the owner of the club they must have spoken of where they think they could go with dad's financial input, the demographics would suggest the Championship as Burton did, I could see that over several years especially now there is a salary cap.

 

That's just not how I saw it.

Stead had a header first half, then they had the goal. Lots of shots does not count for much unless you either put them away or actually look like it.

It was always ending 0 0 or 1 0 either way. Sadly their lad stole half a yard in the area and the rest is history.

Unfortunately for us I only really remember a good chance for Novak, who seems to blow a lot of chances in the first half of a game.

 

Had not Stuart have left and Parky brought in there was a real chance he would have got us relegated to non league, Parky had a huge job to save us from relegation and replace the poor players McCall had brought to the club, It is looking like history may repeat itself and is only a matter of time before we get another manager in, Lets hope we give him enough time to rescue the club

 

I personally can’t see Harrogate winning promotion. They were organised and looked quite good on the ball and as a team but I think they will do what Salford did last season. Mid table flirting with top 10.
It’s a game of opinions of course but we didn’t play well last night. Not even in spells

 

Yeah, listen I accept I’m in a minority and I’m not trying to make out we were something we weren’t, but I’ve seen worse dross from City, with players I don’t believe deserves to wear the shirt. The criticism aimed at the likes of Sutton won’t be doing their confidence any good and that’s a shame because I think Stuart is right to stick with these lads, because there is some raw talent there that needs developing and I think we need to get behind them instead of getting on their backs the second they make a mistake.

 

He will fail again, just you watch it happen. Instead of getting Bowyer in when we got relegated, we should have looked at the rise of Harrogate and thought, they play good football and are a progressive team. We'll have some of that and brouty Weaver in, who's local, a modern day manager and will know our club. However we all know what our regressive board is like don't we.

 

In which alternative reality did this happen?

Completely wrong.

 

Yep, you were watching a different game

The amount of misplaced passes was astonishing. I wonder what the incomplete passes ration was. A stat Stuart should be looking at on his ipad for sure. I found myself closing my eyes many times during the match, just out of sheer cringeworthiness.

 

I thought the passing was terrible but not sure French was the worst. Also, wrt French, a few times he got the ball wide 30 - 40 yards from goal and hit a ball into the middle. Not the worst but given the crosses we know he can put in from the byeline, I wonder why he didn't use his pace, get to the byeline and cross from there. By the way, I thought spotty put a brilliant cross in for their goal, a bit like French's at Bolton.
If you want to have a go at French for being the worst, focus on that thing on his head, worse than Novak's basin cut.

 

I was more laughing at the arabic script on the back of his neck. Aren't these outdated now, as normally the guy doing the translation takes the piss and writes something funny

 

French wasn't that bad last night, hampered more than anything by McCalls constant tinkering than anything else.

 

Wood was worse, so like you I’m unsure why he doesn’t get a mention while French has been slated by some. That said I don’t think either deserve to be hung out to dry, McCalls formation left them both isolated and exposed.

 

I noticed French seemed to be holding back
instead of getting to the by line and getting
some crosses in.Almost as though he'd been
told to keep back despite success from his
crosses.I would of thought if something works,
use it!

 

You would think praising the opposition
would be best served after you've beaten
them and add "we won,we were better"!

 

O D for me.

 

If you are thinking of an overdose-don't. It's not worth it. Call the samaritans.

 

Exactly this.

Me and my old man said the same thing at HT. How can we all see the obvious but SM can’t? It’s really worrying.

 

Yeah but Kenny looks a right miserable so and so. He should not be afraid to play the Bad Cop when needed.
