Quoted from HertsGTFC
Those who bugged Hume up may reflect on their haste.


For all the criticism of Clifton tonite Hume struggled defensively more in the 25 mins he was on the pitch than clifton did in his 70. It was a tricky wide player they were up against. To be fair Clifton was poor in his passing and control but he was more dogged defensively than Hume was able to be.

2nd half performance was just not good enough, no quality in their play and not sure if some of towns players were really up for it tonight compared to Saturday’s performance, really disappointed with town tonight.


Dead Eye Dobbin stood motionless waiting, waiting, waiting for the ball to arrive. Back came the right foot, Down came the right foot, Bang ! Headlines around the world as the ball flew into the very top right hand corner of the goal.( Jim Dobbin scoring in the 89th minute for Town against Newcastle United away 24/10/1992 )

Team set up not to score -and didn't
Another 3 away games similar and we are clinging to a home win against Swindon.
Not good enough

Harrogate really not been amazing beyond scoring a well placed goal. Should have been there for the taking as before they scored they looked every bit a mid-table team with nothing to play for and uninterested. Bad to get a goal disallowed but we should be creating more chances and taking the ones we do get, Holohan should have done way better with his chance. Rose and Thompson the standouts again, can't fault their efforts. Holohan was poor, Clifton looked to be struggling in that position and Hume wasn't much better when he came on, both look very frustrated players. None of the subs really did anything to change the game, not been a fan of Vernam since he rejoined us, he just doesn't look the same player after so many injury issues.

Should have taken at least a point from this regardless and Harrogate have little going for them beyond one or two good players and some big bruisers in defence as usual for Harrogate teams. I'm sure their fans will be happy returning to their house made of turnips.

That was excrement. We were awful in that second half.

Cannot wait for this season to be over. Just setting off for home now

Even though we lost it was a good night and put us in a stronger position , in terms of other results for us

FGR now have to win every game to go above us assuming we lose every game

Colchester won't be ahead of us before the game next Tuesday .

And Sutton have to effectively win 2 out of 3 to have any chance even if we only got 1 more point .

We are a group of grafters but seems to struggle beyond that - Harrogate seem a decent team tbf and you would hope we can get to a level similiar next season at least  and hopefully quite a bit more as they are probably as 'mid table' as they come ; it's a benchmark I guess .

Awful second half particularly the last 25 mins. Thompson and Tharme were our best  but even then they were average. Even Danny Rose had a shocker in the second half.

Bright spot is that both Colchester and FGR lost, so still 5 points clear and the games are running out. We are actually slightly better off despite losing.

That number 2 for Harrogate was quite the player.

For all the emphasis on playing football at the start of his tenure, we don't play any now.

You've got to think Forest Green won't be able to catch us now. Don't lost to Colchester and they will struggle as well.

Another win or a couple of draws will see us safe.
