I think last season we had a good record for Tuesday away games - definitely Cheltenham, Forest Green and Mansfield (possibly Oldham too). Although Hartlepool the other week was our worst performance of the season...

Oldham was a Tuesday and Walsall was on a Friday too (not a bank holiday).

 

[BarraMatt]

Even against a 37 year old and a 38 year old?

Having watched us since October, yes.

 

[kieran_vale]

No Leon Legge in the squad for Harrogate. Obviously stops the usual old player coming back to haunt us but was hoping he’d be there and we could exploit his lack of pace down the channels.

 

[denzel ecfc]

Pathetic keeping from Walsall there

 

[kieran_vale]

1-0 Harrogate. Been mostly us in the game so far but caught out on a break.

So frustrating we’ve been dominant but just have that error in us.

It’s the same goal we conceded against Tranmere. Want to see that again as looked like it went through Holys legs too.

 

[LordJord]

This has been so much better than recent weeks. As already pointed out, their keepers pass was an absolute shocker. Lets get that second.

 

[BarraMatt]

Stupid red for Canavan, there goes any chance of even getting a point from this game.

I dont think Leon Clarke was even getting onto the end of that pass anyway. Needless

 

[LS Bantam]

Stupid red for Canavan, there goes any chance of even getting a point from this game.

Not his first red of the season, could be looking at a four match ban?

 

[Monkey Tennis]

Not his first red of the season, could be looking at a four match ban?

It would be 2 - a shirt pull isn't dangerous, violent etc

 

[kieran_vale]

Seen enough of this 3-4-3 formation, needs changing at halftime.

We’ve actually been the better of the two sides but I just don’t think this is getting the best out of our players. Least said on the keeper the better.

Don’t think Holy has made a save for us yet! Every shot we concede on target seems to go in!

Frustrating half, we’ve mostly dominated that but again are not creating enough, that said Garrity should score from a corner.

I thought the goal was similar to Rochdale, we didn’t deal with it and got cut open when we had enough chances.

Season is looking over as it stands unless we turn this around.

 

[Dale4ever]

Been all over Carlisle this half, then our keeper drops it for 1-0 Carlisle. Got to hope we can get back into this, they look very poor.

 

[EricSabin]

Should be 3 up here.

 

[Casey]

The rains winning at Crawley. 0-0 and a lack of real chances.

Casey

 

[valefan16]

I’m missing Lucas Covolan…

 

[chipmunx]

Canavan was stupid there - the Rovers player wouldn't have got the ball.
I think we'll make a change at HT, probably Hutton coming on at right back for Gotts, who will switch to midfield - with probably White going off.

your other keeper must be bad...

The ones you could credit him with he generally tends to spill as well. That’s without mentioning him going walkabout before the goal and Armstrong turned it over from him. If Kung-Fu Cov had done that….

Other thing we need to think of is if we are going to play a back three do we want Nathan Smith at RCB. To make it work you need someone in the Cass mould who can advance the ball and link up better down the pitch.

 

[Randolph Haggerty]

We look every inch a team of mid table battlers.
Organised and we graft, but there’s nothing about us at all.
Holy is terrible.
Wilson cuts a forlorn figure trying get his teammates on his level.
Cooper has actually had a run that nearly produced something but it’s definitely the exception.
Harrogate scored a very nice and un-league 2 like goal.
I just don’t see this team making the top 7.
We may scrap a draw out of this game, but we need a win

Smith, Jones, Hall would work. Walker isn’t a centre half he lets the ball bounce.

Holy is a liability. We are hugely missing Conlon at the moment, or even a Jake Taylor. Just lumping it all the time.

Brought on Martin for Walker. So no change in the formation.

Conlon’s return can’t happen soon enough. Given up any hope of Jake Taylor returning this season. He must have been out since November?

 

[BRFC_Gas]

Barrow trying every trick in the book to time waste here

 

[kieran_vale]

1-1 Ryan Edmundson. Beautiful cross from the left by Gibbo and nice little run and header by Edmundson.

We'll gift you one in a minute, don't think I've ever been more certain of anything!

We are always poor v 10 men as you saw at your place

 

[kieran_vale]

Finished 1-1. Almost won it right at the death but Wilson hit the bar from 30 yards.

Could be better but could be worse I suppose.

 

[valefan16]

Two points dropped there but again are not clinical enough.

Harrogate were there for the taking and this inability to beat poor sides is going to cost us.

Wilson with a wonder strike hit the bar in the 94th minute. Frustrating again. 9 unbeaten but 6 of those are draws!
