Crewe, Wrexham and Wimbledon all losing; we've got to take advantage.
Don't let the old man in.

Lots of shots but only the odd one on target ... we have to improve on that . They have ground out results against some of the better teams recently ... so we cannot afford to keep missing the chances we create.
First match : Barrow v Northampton Town : Sat. 24th Sept. 1960 ... won 1-0... ( which was nice )

0-0 FT, not taking our chances has cost us there, too scared to take a ball and have a shot.

With Harrogate's record away from home (except at Mansfield) - draws at Swindon, Wrexham and Stockport - it was always going to be tough. Lots of shots but very little threat on goal. I suppose if the penalty had gone in it might have opened the game up. I hate playing Harrogate!

Did everything but score really. Thought they came with a game plan to sit in and defend in numbers and it worked. Poor end product but never looked in danger of losing. Win our game. In had over Wrexham and we are 3 off automatics. These days happen in football

Rather a point than none...NOT the end of the world against a team we always seem to have trouble with!

On to the next game now.

Too cute, too soft, tried placing the ball and it cost us 2 points.

Need to change our penalty taker.

Stockton, Spence or Whitfield, would have blasted the ball into the roof of the net, giving the keeper no chance.

Never in my life have I seen a team take it to the corner at 0 0. They came for a point and got it

We're getting like last season's Arsenal trying to over play attacks, countless times we play it out wide when you could either shoot or go in on goal, it just gives defenders time to fill their penalty area!
When Campbell went to take the penalty he hesitated and went to move the ball but didn't, I'm sure this unsettled him!
Onwards we go !

Campbell is the penalty taker and normally puts them away. Hindsight is a wonderful thing isn’t it
