Think Banks is doing OK. He's massively improved since Jolley left

Must be a comedown from Saturday's efforts, Scrappy & disjointed, Come on lads keep it on the deck & play football, Get more creative lads on like Devitt & make changes & go for it.

Still too slow on the ball! Seems to always be turning into trouble
And on the 7th day god created football

Any resemblance to football in that 45 mins was purely coincidental! Truly awful game. I'm afraid playing to get a point is no use at home and it's about time a bit more ambition and less fear is shown. We neeed to get more players further up the field. Devitt and Goodridge need to be brought on ASAP. At least they both look as though they can control and pass a football!

I’d have Ntlhe off before too long, probably for Devitt

McPake for Harrogate looks threatening every time he gets the ball

Agree with this. May be grim and defensive but if we can keep ourselves hard to beat we will get.more points than we have been doing.

Make some more attacking changes after 60 mins imo. At the moment it's a point gained let's not chuck that away.

Harrogate are making it difficult by closing us down very quickly, so we have no time on the ball and make hasty passes. They seem to like playing up and unders into our last third. I hope Kelly can find a way to change things.

How the hell are we going to stay in this league playing awful football like this, the passing in that first half was nothing short of disgraceful, one shot on target just not good enough.

At some point we need to go beyond getting the odd point and go for wins!

The whole team bar Luke James seem to be running in Elaine's Famous treacle, We should use our subs wisely 2nd half, fresh legs badly needed tonight & some oomph please.
