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

Unless you're Gary Bowyer, then you play him behind the strikers and pretend he's some sort of lower league Phil Foden.

 

Disagree, If they do 'go for it' and lose 6 games then most on here will want their heads.

 

Please win this one, been a harrogate born and bread I've watched them for years when I couldn't get to city games and have been fond of the team but since they've become rivals and in the same league I've grown to really dislike them.
The grief I got after they beat us last time drove me mental.

Come on city !!!!

 

This is a game we cannot lose. 3 pts could put City right back in the mix but 1pt could turn out to be very useful come the end of the season. The T&S system is suited to away fixtures and counter attack.

 

So many weak teams in this league and with Cook and Rowe up front can see us beating most teams especially if Hornby returns to command the 6 yard box
T&S have done enough to warrant starting next season but still have to prove they are capable of driving the club forward rather than doing a "rescue job"
This afternoon we need to go all out attack, Harrogate (goodness me) won't score with the ball in their own half, we have nothing to lose a draw is as bad as a defeat from a points point of view but let's not drop points with another poor performance

 

I actually agree with you. My point to Dubois was that not everyone would give them nothing but praise for going for it, then losing all 6 games, fickle game this football lark Steve

 

If they were willing to make the big decisions and go two up front and Hornby in goal I would be backing them 100% but I can not see them doing it. It will be half hearted and that is what is pulling my confidence down

 

Agree with the 2 upfront.

Just get them both up there, go direct and let's make the opposition defence make mistakes. If he's concerned defensively just play the the more disciplined wide men.

 

a
Fear you could be correct and we will see virtually the same team/formation as Tuesday
Hopefully they realise we have nothing to lose and everything to gain
Time to drop the shackles and all out attack

 

Agree entirely.Tuesday was a perfect chance to “ go for it” but they chose the safe option again.
6 games left.
We’ll never know if we go the easy option again and again

 

City fans in Harrogate colours flying high

 

1 point wouldn't be good at all for us.

Keep saying that draws need to start feeling like defeats.

We should be beating bloody Harrogate.

 

Looks like Harrogate haven't won in their last seven,
mind you, Crawley were not on a winning streak till they played us.

Lets see City give it a real go today as they have little excuse to be timid.

 

I've also just been thinking to myself, the bloke makes an actual living making decisions like that?

It's absolutely mind blowing.

 

Three points is a must today to keep up with a chance of the playoffs. I will be missing the game today as I will be down at Lawkholme Lane watching Keighley Cc v Bankfoot Cc with a couple of other City lads I may have a couple of Saltaire Blondes .

Has my mate Bob said “ I don’t like cricket I love it “

 

I think this game will be won and lost in midfield and from memory they were quite industrious. We’ve got to win the battle in there today to have any chance.
