Since November 1st when we scored 3 against Colchester there has only been 1 match where we have scored more than 1 goal which was against Mansfield. Other than that we have scored 0 in 10 matches and 1 in 8 matches. That's only once in 3 1/2 months where we've scored more than 1 goal! Luckily, we now have a solid defence which has kept us in a respectable mid-table position.

Re: Harrogate v Barrow Match Thread
The performance epitomised the inconsistency of our season. Six points from Bradford, Stockport and Walsall with good performances then back down to earth with a bump at Harrogate where traditionally we have struggled. 52 points from 37 games.
Would I have taken where we are now at the start of the season? You bet I would now on to Wimbledon at home next week

Benni on the scoresheet again today (4 goals in 4 games). Forget the standard of the opposition the lad is a natural with an eye for goal. Got to be worth a run-out before the season is out.

I think BSB will be in and around the starting XI next season.
Re: Harrogate v Barrow Match Thread
We could have Haaland up top if your not being fed decent ball then you ain’t going to score many. Game-plan never paid dividends today. They outfought us in midfield and their back four never had to break sweat. Jason Taylor could of strolled through that game like our midfield did.

Their Number 10 was the stand out player today & if he plays like that most weeks we should try & sign him as he’s direct & fairy dynamic, Bad day at the official today in front of a record TV Barrow attendance in Texas

It’s Harrogate; we never win at Harrogate. Move on to the next one

Re: Harrogate v Barrow Match Thread
The way Wild plays the game we are never going to dominate possession. His game plan is to try and pick up the seconds and get on the attack. It’s been effective in getting us to mid table and we’ve pulled off some good results but it’s never going to be a free flowing passing it around build up.

Re: Harrogate v Barrow Match Thread
Think we have been a bit scarred by the Stevenage & Carlisle defeats. Problem is Wild is still trying to find the right balance. The attacking play but leaking defences of the first half of the season or the solid defence at the expense of expansive attacking. Difficult.

He’s got his preferred game plan and will stick with it. We’ve struggled to score goals even when we’ve had all attacking options on the pitch.mickmike wilson wrote: ↑Sat Mar 18, 2023 6:30 pmWe ain’t going up or down so mebees a chance to experiment a little to try to get that magic formula for next season’s assaultandyg wrote: ↑Sat Mar 18, 2023 6:18 pm Think we have been a bit scarred by the Stevenage & Carlisle defeats.

Re: Harrogate v Barrow Match Thread
Very poor today. We never looked like winning. Too much percentage football and ball in the air. Harrogate looked much better keeping the ball on the ground most of the time. Added to that, the ref was weak, frequently conned by Harrogate, gave every 50/50 to them. A frustrating day!

Lots of over reaction doom and gloom. We've never had it so good.
