    As good as Harrogate were and as poor as we were, there was only one goal in it. With a different formation and players in their best positions, I believe we could have drawn that game.

    We must have watched a different game. There have been plenty of games over the past couple of years when that criticism would be justified, but lack of effort was not the reason we lost on Monday night imo.

    2 tough games this week. That'll give us a better view of how we've started the season.

    Looking at Cooks goal I think he was Donaldson man to take in the box the way he and others reacted.

    Really can’t see it. He needs to offload BRE, Guthrie and possibly Prichard before bringing anymore in.

    I’m not sure the players are the sole issue here. We’ve looked pretty clueless on the pitch this season. There seems to be no tactical plan of how to approach the game. Are we playing it out from the back and moving through the midfield to the forwards? Are we working it wide to cross it? Are we booting it long into the channels to gain territory? Are we pressing high up the pitch? Are we dropping back into our own half?

    So far we seem to have players doing what they want and no coordinated approach to games. If we had a plan/approach but the players weren’t good enough I could accept that as work in progress, but currently we look clueless.

    I think it has to be a 3-5-2 kind of formation. At least that gets Wood and whoever the chance to get forward. 4-4-2 is a grim watch with the players we have

    George Lapslie is a good signing for them and may tip the balance against us,

    Big game today. I’m expecting a full 3 points from the occasion. Nothing less.

    Good half, look well balanced. Second goal was a great team goal and its about time Wood scored. Need to stop giving away set pieces because that's the only way they're scoring.

    Need that third to kill it off.

    I'm not sure there was a best player on Monday, Park. Best to just consign that match to history.
