Harrogate Town v Barrow match thread

[Main Stand SeasonTct]

On the second half showing we probably deserved a point. Walkers miss was poor. The injury list is not getting any better be lucky to have a full bench on Saturday.

Not really it should have been at least 3 nil before that walker chance, don't let that mask an absolutely shocking 50 minutes, it was shambolic and Whing must be fuming because that was totally unacceptable!

Both sides missed chances during the 90 minutes the finishing from both teams was woeful. Earring should have done. better with his first half chance for me. Credit to them they played well first half the number nine gave the back 3 especially Canavan a torrid time. Second half with the tactical switches we looked much better and had a go. Walker should have scored Jackson had a great shot go for a corner and we had other shots and half canes we couldn't convert.

That's a bit unfair on Harrogate. They took their first real chance clinically, the one that came of the bar looked a really good effort out of virtually nothing and the one that came off the post was inches away from being a great finish.

All that apart don't know how your kind of making out it was an even game, BUT come on get off that fence and accept that that first 50 minutes was an absolute shambles!

Being honest it was bloody downright embarrassing, there was zero energy in the side, we were absolutely nowhere near them first half. It’s not the getting beat that bothers me but the manner of it.

Could’ve nicked a point in the end but would have been hard on Harrogate.

Feels like previous seasons away from home we set up for a point but go behind and one goal is always enough. But that’s league two I guess, Let’s hope we can get a point this Sat.

[HenneysKnee]

Defensively we are error prone and nowhere near as solid as seasons gone by

Obviously it’s early days and hopefully he comes good but so far I’m really struggling to see why Oldham fans were so gutted to lose Raglan

[Pedro]

Well the first half we were over run
if we were beaten 3-0 it would not have been a surprise.
Whing is learning his trade and it's unfair to judge him yet after 4 games.
There are players in that team who we signed who should not be playing.
If only we had a Director of Football we would not have signed the likes of Cameron or Raglan.

[Duff]

Iain Wood has assembled a very poor group of players for the 2nd season running. We should have let him go to Carlisle instead of improving his contract.

[Methuselah]

We threatened we promised but at the end of the day we couldn't, get the ball in the back of the net.Enough said.

[CH BAFC]

Down to 14 players left in the squad not injured, thats very, very concerning.....

[JamesWattTerrace24]

Healey looks a great player if we can keep him fit!

[April1972]

As has been said 1st half was embarrassing. Only luck prevented being 3-0 down at half-time. Fed up of the negative, sit off sit back tactics and the formation clearly not working. Why we don’t have more of a go puzzles me as in this league no team looks comfortable when put under any sort of pressure but we don’t do it until we’re loosing and by then it’s usually too late.
As for the policy of buying injury prone players that we couldn’t afford otherwise - if we’re struggling now after 4 games what will it be like after 24 games!

[Jonty]

First half comments don't make for good reading….Is it too early to start looking at the table for two teams who we might be slightly better than?

[blue nige]

It's that bad I'd rather have Worrall at right wingback might not last the full 90 but at least he has a bit about him ,we miss Vassell not only for his goals but his covering Yes the odd error but he's way better than anyone we have now!
Looking through the team where are the goals going to come from, trying not to overthink this but ,it's not good, set pieces are shocking!
I was expecting high energy this season especially when Whing wants 3 at the back, if it isn't we get last night's first half embarrassment!

[Matty]

So who's injured now?

Fletcher
MJ Williams
Hemmings
Foley
Healey
Harper
Adu Poku (if he still counts)

[mall]

Yes, it is early but I think the relegation battle has commenced.
Not going to do anything with this team of has beens and crocks.
If we had someone up front a bit more mobile like Tyler Smith, then we just might be in with a shout.
The writings on the wall already.
