Certainly didn't play as well as we can but enough to beat a pretty poor Harrogate. Farman once again superb, MOM by a mile, Huddersfield must have some cracking full-back's if Neo can't start, kind of game we wouldn't have won last season, pleasure to go despite the driver taking a very strange route🙂

Genuinely wasn’t sure on Clemence when he was appointed and thought the squad looked light on goals: so far very wrong on both points and hope it long continues
Been a while since we’ve had a pair of proper full backs like these two, great to see

I noticed they didn’t announce how many away fans, maybe because their home attendance would below 2k which is pretty poor for a league 2 side, seems standard for them though .
465 away attendance

Well at least we won't have to listen to Simpson every Saturday now.

He has been on borrowed time for a while.

Great result. As expected and forewarned there is never a pleasant experience to be had from playing Harrogate. So to come away with the points represents one of the best weeks for the club in recent years.

Port Vale, Derby and Harrogate. Difficult to conjure up three more diverse challenges. And yet we’ve been able to meet all of them. Well done to the squad and to Stephen Clemence. That’s a very impressive August even with Carlisle. He’s doing better than I anticipated and doing it faster than I thought.

Great result. Match stats show we were on top in all the key areas. Possession, shots on goal, dangerous arracks. That’s no smash and grab. Well played boys. 👏👏

Another pleasing aspect about our play at the moment is that players are not afraid of shooting from the edge of the penalty area.
There must have been nearly half a dozen attempts doing it yesterday.

Still pinching myself at what a great start we have had. Early days but this team looks the real deal.

They’ve just announced Temple has resigned, maybe reading between the lines he’s going to join Wild in a new job.

I just watched the highlights and Harrogate reminded me a bit of Barrow last season - only started playing after they went behind.

They also remind me of the Harrogate of last season. Kicking lumps out of the opposition.

Paul Cox has been co commentator with Adam the last couple of games and is good to listen to.
I don't know who does the filming of our home games but they do a really good job of it.
They follow the play well and zoom in a bit closer when play is on the opposite side of the pitch.
Camera work at Harrogate yesterday was very poor.
Missed following the play on numerous occasions and it was difficult at times seeing play on the opposite side of the pitch with a reluctance to zoom.
We really do have a aquad of talented hard working players this season.
9 goals scored (by 7 different players) and only 3 conceded in 6 games, winning 5 of them - what a start to the season.
