15 games to go.
Tonight Dino had the size of the task ahead shown clearly to him, but we've got to trust him.

There isnt half some cowards in that team. Connor mahoney should he nowhere near a side battling relegation, no fight in the lad what so ever. End of the day sides like harrogate stay up year after year because they dig in when it matters. Our soft lot don't know the meaning of it. Dagger through us that tonight. Drop thompson for his own sake too

If only Newby showed as much commitment for 90 minutes than his gob did at the end to the fans. Clown

Well that was dreadful. The worst squad of players we've had since being back in the league. The trap door beckons.

That was abysmal. What a shower of shit. 2 subs 8 minutes before half-time tells you how bad the starters were. Harper was a disgrace throughout the game. How McCann got MoM is beyond me. Jackson is a [SwearFilter]-take of a footballer. We are going to go into the last game against Newport needing a result.

And to think people laud him on here

Hes scared to tackle, scared to head the ball and his finishing is [SwearFilter] woeful

Harper, disgraceful effort. Jackson, been shite all season. Very very poor team

Im resigned to relegation to be honest, coz this team has no fight in them

Would be a very Barrow thing to do now and probably draw or win our next 5 games, Harrogate voodoo strikes us in the backside, im not saying we are going down just yet but its gonna probably go down to the wire.

Probably Going down with these players its worst squad since we been in efl its really depressing football to watch so pedestrian like too slow to everything they dont look bothered so fed up of these players Harrogate were the better side tonight we can't be missing sitters unfortunately we lost 3 good players and brought in inferior players its shows aswell recruitment has been poor

Whilst disappointed with the result tonight I’m staying positive for the future games. Dino has seen first hand what happens when the run of play does not go our way and we make schoolboy mistakes. Yes, Newbs should have slotted this chances home; Yes, Thompson should have thought more about what he was doing; Yes we hit the crossbar. At the end of the game we came away with a loss - at home. But it wasn’t for the want of trying in my opinion.
We can’t go from lauding our team on a Saturday to calling them all the useless swines on Tuesday. Consistency from the team and their loyal fans - us - should be our focus.
Dino will fix this - I am confident.

Too many waiting for things to happen rather than trying to make things happen. They were head and shoulders above us for effort and commitment and that’s all it took to win that game. McCann head and shoulders above anyone else in our side. Harper and a few others including our so called captain need to take a long hard look in the mirror.🥺

It's the football its poor standard we show no fight lack ideas and so pedestrian like awful to watch no wonder 800 fans have stopped going as it isnt entertaining these players are our poorest since efl times they need a rocket up there backsides to wake up and realise there in a relegation dogfight and grow some balls plus on Saturday we were poor to watch and barely deserved it really i hope we can stay up but it would be a shame only 6 seasons back in efl after 48 years away as it's the hardest league to get out of the national league is cant see us coming back for many years and crowds would drop to 1500 again probably and we would lose a lot of funding

The goal was pathetic sorry Thompson hasn't looked confident since he came here ,I'd rather have Shipley!,
Newby and Gordon missed 2 sitters.I took time off work to watch that the first half was a non event he could have taken anyone of them off apart from Raglan and Stanway!where is Smith and Whitfield just what's going on with these injuries? everyone is taking weeks to get sorted it's an absolute shambles!
It was freezing tonight and we deserved better than that first half!
I don't know where we go from here there's something really wrong behind the scenes because we're so inconsistent I think we'll go down!

You just want a Danny Rose type in midfield.

He wants the ball all the time and unless he is involved it doesn’t look like anything is going to happen
