    If you think we're moving forward and your happy with what you have Stuart..well thanks for hitting an all new low with tonight's performance.Utterly second rate.No excuses, just not good enough. Town sharper, well drilled and coached with purpose. Really disappointed and not impressed by McCall's tactical prowess.

    Jesus H, we were awful tonight. Harrogate completely outplayed us. They look like a proper up and coming team. Well done to them - as for us, some serious evaluation required. Harrogate have got to be worth a bet for promotion on that performance, they we’re excellent.

    our club has forgotten who we are, lost it’s spirit and identify and we are an embarrassment to watch. The players look lost and devoid of shape and ideas.

    Something needs to change urgently we only started really pushing at 70 minutes.

    Where is the pride and passion shame on the lot of you.

    Playing semi pro football whilst we were losing to Millwall at Wembley. That’s how far Rupp has taken us

    Easy to complain after a performance like that but Stuart brings the kid Hosannah in from Leeds he had 90 minutes against Wolves and did fine, then he drops him and plays French,I thought their threat came from the other side not French's to be honest, but we were second best all over the pitch, awaiting Stuarts post match interview, hope he as honest as Weaver his post match interview on Sky was bang on the money.

    If that is a barometer of our performances this season i would settle for mid table !

    More likely bottom 6.

    Stay Calm and Carry On boys. You are both entitled to an opinion, however positive OR negative. That's what forums are for. Deep breaths.

    The only consolation I can take from tonight is that by not renewing my season ticket, I wont have to endure watching that shower again until probably next August

    I'm posting negatively, because things are negative. It's not really any more complex than that. But you choose to let off your frustrations by taking a cheap shot. If that's your thing, that's your thing. I'm honestly not arsed. I'd far rather talk about this club with people who want to have a sensible discussion about our state of affairs. It's what forums like this are for.

    Them being a better team, and most of our players being 5/10. “We’ll teck our medicine, and go again on Saturday”.

    Well that was utterly disgraceful.
    Our passing to Harrogate players
    was remarkable.Consistently
    done throughout the game.

    We started slow,couldn't get
    hold of the ball and gave it away
    straightaway.Never got near the
    By line to put crosses in for
    Novak just one clueless,inept
    performance

    as much as that?! :laughing:

    i thought watt showed some promise at times and o’donnell with his save. But generally we were second best in every department - so many basic errors in touch and passing. We looked like a bunch of strangers and were nullified basically by harrogate closing us down and working hard. I thought donaldson, guthrie and novak were equally poor, and french and sutton - deary me. Sutton showed a lot of endeavour but technically in that second half he was awful. He wasn’t alone tbf, clarke was equally poor and i’ve no idea why he even played evans. I love stu but he’s some serious work to do on that showing.

    all the best btw @Parader@Parader, hope you are on the mend soon.

    He’s eager and industrious. But his control is so poor, his second touch is a diving tackle. Just win it, give it to the more talented players. Although, they tend to be on the opposition, so maybe he’s actually filling his role well.

    I mentioned how well they have been playing in a couple of threads before the match. City looked poor but actually, Harrogate even when they haven't won games have generally made the opponent seem poor, so I'm not sure its as bad as some people are making out. I don't watch a massive amount of League 2 football, I've started watching the City matches (as apparently, I don't have any paint to watch dry) but I caught a bit of Harrogate's first match and a few more since as they play really good football so I'm not sure they are a true benchmark of where city are, the only thing holding Harrogate back is in general they aren't clinical enough

    Wood was an obvious weak link defensively, and Harrogate zeroed on our left hand side time and again.

    Donaldson up front offered absolutely nothing; just like Guthrie when he came on.

    Harrogate outworked us and outplayed us, though I thought we created better openings going forward, possibly by hitting THEM on the counter.

    It was an even game that could have gone either way, but Harrogate definitely deserved it purely down to the amount of time they spent in our half with the ball at their feet. Like I say, we were countering and at times looked rushed, other times we looked slick.
