FT: 0 - 1

Really really bad.
Midfield is atrocious.

Back to normal business then it is, end the season already.

No fear of Dino leaving - no one else would ever accept the job.

Massive blow tonight. A game we couldn’t really afford to lose and we did just that.
I like Dino, I like his positivity, but this is very poor team he has to work with.

Harper looks like he can’t be arsed

We still don't have a centre forward and all we do is pump the ball in the air.
Colchester found we are their bogey team yet again and Harrogate are ours
Dino responded early on but he only has the players he has.
Not sure what happened to Jackson this season but he has been lousy .
Harper seems very lethargic.
Very disappointed at Newbys miss but that's why they are at this level.
Let's be honest we've seen some spark in the two games
It's in our hands ,if we don't get the points only our own fault.

Absolutely this. No quality at all in that team bar Rose and a few of the injured players. A point wouldn’t have been a disaster but what does losing again do for morale now? Harrogate are on a roll even Newport win what a result! Time to be very worried. I can’t even fault the effort too much tonight on the whole just a blatant lack of quality all over the pitch which let’s be honest we saw in August and haven’t addressed.

That’s the minimum we should be getting from anyone though. Unfortunately he skied one over an open goal from 6 yards, sliced another wide moments later and along with probably 90% of this squad, simply isn’t good enough for league 2.

Had high hopes for him early doors this season. He has talent. But he's shown he's lazy, no fight and looks like he wants to be anywhere else. He can FRO for me. Unfortunately not the only one. And whilst I like Newby as a winger, he can't hit a bulls ar§e with a banjo.

Harper should never play a game for us again. He could not give a toss. Better second half but we are poor. Only luck will keep us up.

I would also. We also have similar footballing ability.

Meant to reply re Harper. I'll go back to lurking.

The Colchester win should have been the springboard but once again we just cannot build on even the smallest of steps. The team is lacking quality all over the pitch. To lose again against another team we are in a relegation battle with is a massive blow. We had a chance tonight to put ourselves effectively 3 wins ahead of them with 2 games in hand, instead they are now breathing down our necks

Only Barrow.

[SwearFilter] to it all still 15 games left

We just don’t make things easy for ourselves

The players we have are decent players on good money so we need to see more from them. A win tonight would have put us 8 clear of Harrogate now it’s only 2 - got to be winning these kind of games
