Harrogate (A) Match Thread

Quoted from Steve Richards

Oh dear this is poor and it’s been the same since Christmas I think so many changes hasn’t worked might have been better to blend the best of what we had with new blood

whilst i agree with your first sentence i'm struggling to think who's been left out that will improve us. Spokes possibly, but matete has been excellent. Clifton, i'm afraid, wouldn't improve us and Hewitt, Hansen, Rose, Morais, Waterfall, Pollock and Hendrie have all been retained.
The problem is that whilst the new boys are generally an upgrade they're not enough of an upgrade to make much of a difference.
Menayese and Harbegham are prime examples - they're improvements on Idehen/Ohman and Preston, but still not good enough to make us into a competent 2nd division side. The Tunisian lad has been very disappointing, marginal at best whilst Adams and Payne have scored and made assists but they've only been effective in fits and starts

Sorry to say it's a bit like watching a F1 team at the bottom of their table with a clapped out car. Improvements make little if any difference so they have to wait for a new season to start. Fortunately for them their is no drop but for us !!!!!!!!!!

Just like an F1 car we are reliant on a suspension to save our season?

New spark plugs might help, or new set of boots, not to mention a bit of passing. Ultimately a red flag in the NL

We are down

Quoted from Yoda

We are down

Pessimist

The clubs owners needed to bring in 4 players who were on the periphery of the first team for a championship club. That was the only way I could see us avoiding relegation
What we ended up with is a load of players who couldn't make a non league/4th divisions team  . Who still must have cost a few quid
Seriously though, we were never going to sign 1st team players which means having to pay through the nose to bring quality in from the championship who wanted a pay day and first team football - 6month contracts 10k+ a week otherwise we end up with what we've got - the same as we already had  
2million quid would have done it. You either want to avoid relegation to the conference or you don't. The new owners chose the latter

JF was never ever going to spend that type of money, or any other sort of money. As we write their is only one owner and that is Fenty. Without control in the boardroom no sensible person is going to stick £2 million quid into this club. We do not have new owners so they have not made any choice.

Yes you're right DB.
Mind you, the fans are not the owners but still managed to bank roll the club out of the conference. I know if Id agreed to buy a football club, I'd either have contract clause regarding relegation or Id do everything in my power to prevent it
Sensible people dont stand by and let a club they're investing in drop out the league

Quoted from DB

So if the same was said inside BP for a non performance would you say the same?
What do you find wrong about being passionate, wanting the best, a win and voicing your opinions. It's called freedom of speech and as long as it's justified by facts as in the abysmal load of rubbish call professional football today I can't see anything wrong in it.

If you don't like what you read switch off.

On the other hand if you don't like watching Town
Switch off and give us all a break from your Passion.
