    Harrogate were favourites for a reason.

    The sad reality is Bradford City are not a better football team than Harrogate Town anymore.

    There’s nothing any of us lot can do about it either

    We were beaten by a better team tonight. Thry were better organised, better prepared and understood better what was expected of them individually and collectively.

    On the other hand, we were disorganised, had a surprising (I'm being polite!) formation given how the opposition usually plays, didn't look properly prepared and couldn't string a series of passes together. It was clear at half-time that we were second best. And still nothing really changed.

    I have a suspicion that our side of the game wasn't a one-off and there'll be more similar performances to come.

    I'm not sure he knows what position he's bought Evans for. Can never have enough utility players though, essential for when you need to tinker every bloody week.

    Wonder where Crawley are after he left and where Evans is?

    Cooke should have hit the target when Donaldson put him clear on goal. I'd have been delighted to have won by that goal but it would have papered over the cracks that team looked clueless.

    You mean Weaver did his homework, they certainly did a job on us right from the kick off they looked the better side.

    I actually thought Harrogate had had a better start than that.

    Their 4-0 demolition of the dreadful Southend must have stuck in my head.

    I think we'll beat them. I don't think they're anywhere near as good as FGR, for example, and we were unlucky not to win that one. I think we're going to prove to be a difficult team to beat, and I don't see Harrogate ending a three game run without a league win tomorrow.

    I'd like to see Sutton play.

    They like to press and we need to be getting amongst them and getting a tackle or two in. That midfield three (Cooke, Clarke, Watt) is a bit soft for me. Putting more numbers in there (3 versus 2) doesn't mean we'll just automatically stop them playing.

    I'm hoping it's slightly different with Sutton in front of the back 4 and Evans RCM and Watt LCM. That would make it more balanced I think.

    Quite simply they are raising awareness surrounding black people and the difficulties they face.

    Never understood this "political" aspect? Can you vote for the BLM? Can i register to become part of BLM? Are MPs running in the general election?

    BTW players DO wear poppies on their shirts. We also take part in rememberance Sundays so i dont understand where that came from too?

    Anyone think we might still be a back 5 with French at RCB and Sutton RWB?

    Is Evans playing? Seems like he’s self isolating.

    Been very impressed with them, by far the better side so far.

    When Wood makes the overlap why does the other player not play him in?

    Has happened a couple of times this half.

    Theyve played the overlap well on numerous occasions. Their players seem to know their roles better.
