Harrogate battered Cheltenham on Friday.

59% possession and 21 shots for Harrogate.

Cheltenham had one shot on target, the goal they scored!

Very lucky not to lose against Harrogate.

Will we have a go at them in the same fashion? Are we fighting and trying to stay up?

Or are we keeping all 11 players back, terrified of conceding?

Harrogate - 80%. Newport - 73%. Barrow - 25%.

That's strange Barrow only 25% to be relegated yet Harrogate 80%.
Thought Harrogate had a much better chance of staying up than we've got.

Agree Cokey, Harrogate looked anything but a team facing relegation in fact Dino should show that game to our team as being representative of front footed football.

Another thing that struck me from that game was the sheer intensity of Harrogate from the first minute to the last. It makes you wonder where that teams been all season, so if they can do it so can we.

Believe our 2 games in hand is factored in plus better goal difference, but if we keep losing games like we are, that won't be an advantage.

Yes, I can.
I think we will see a different beast this coming friday night away from home.

We dont have a player called Bruce Banner so I struggle to see where, given a squad largely made of wimps, this beast will appear from.

They had a big injury list for nearly 20 games.
They have players back now.

I was just thinking of a spider that lost a back leg leaving it with four but grew another further forward making it more mobile !

Fingers crossed (Saltcellar) our returning players have a similar impact.

Foley, the Messiah! I hope

I watched Cheltenham at Harrogate and they were on par/as bad as us.
I think we have a decent chance, even with a win I'm in the glass half empty brigade.

As for Sam saving our season? If we're reliant on a near 40 year old, as much as I like the guy I think that sums up the situation we are in......dire.

Once again recruitment team take a bow.

It's the hope that kills you.

Ben Whitfield, MJ Williams, Scott Smith added to Foley could save our season; but who knows when they’ll all be back if at all
