Not missed a home league game think im giving it a miss next sat as it's over no way theres an 8 goal swing in this lot I will await to return next season and hope for a top 7 challenge with a new squad and manager and more enjoyable to watch i hope as we have never had the infanstructure for the efl unfortunately we came up by default really to efl we were never ready realistically

It’s very simple.

The recruited players were just not good enough.

I don’t get how they could turn up for games when they wanted to (Bromley/Oldham) then hardly string any passes together or have a shot on goal all game for the majority of games.
Inexperienced manager in charge, playing Hemmings today who has been injured most of the season and hardly started any games, almost like they wanted to go down.

American investors seems to be a trend, even with Carlisles millions the couldn’t finish in the top 2. Mid table mediocrity next season.

To be honest next week will be tough I'm going but what a joke that we're even in this situation!
The board have taken us down with some decisions that don't even seem to make sense!
I'm worried about next season because I've no confidence in the board getting recruitment/ a new manager etc right
Most people would not have signed half these players by firstly looking at their stats and their injuries!
The board need to reassure us that next season will be a complete new outlook strategy!

Id take that next year if we have a team that plays for the shirt and actually tries. Hopefully this has shown the BOD that foley or whoever else is with him arent the right people to take us forward. This is one appointment we cant cheap out on. Worral, GC, the 'fitness' coach. The lot need to go

Agreed.

Get the whole lot gone.

A whole refresh.

Todays the first time Harrogate have been outside the relegation zone since December.

Been saying for a few weeks now that Barrow are relegated, after today it’s a certainty. Absolutely woeful from top to bottom. Getting rid of manager after manager, it’s the players to blame, no fight, not interested, a woeful keeper that they persist with week after week, and they gave up months ago. Embarrassed to be a supporter at times because of their lack of care. Working at grange next Saturday until 13.15, won’t be rushing back I don’t think. Roll on next season, my only hope is Carlisle don’t take our place
everyone is entitled to their opinion, deal with it

Nobody turn up next week, absolutely disgusting the way this team has played. Better players in a pub team.

Imagine the players having a team night out after the Walsall game......let's show the commitment to the cause lads!

The club behind the scenes and the players is poison it shows their commitment as said above who would do that? What actually has gone on this year? I feel sorry Shearer he's putting the money in but he's trusting Wood making the "footballing" decisions.
