[QUOTE=pagl;2306313]He is a legend in his own mind. Terrible player and thinks he is a league superstar.[/QUOTE]

Well he was as good as any of them tonight - worked hard and would maybe have been MOM if he had bagged the penalty IMO :)

Re: Harrogate Reaction
 

Thought we played ok until the last 25 minutes when it looked like we ran out of steam ( again) why no subs until its to late in the game?

Thought Barton, Pearson and Grant played well, though not a fan of Grant normally.

JBB looks lost and to often gave away stupid free kicks
Summerfield had a decent enough first half but ran out of stem second half and just kept giving the ball away.

Disappointing result

Red Light .....

Carrington is nursing a groin injury picked up at Saturday’s game vs Woking.

I don’t think he was mom material but terrible is also unfair.

Another decade of mediocrity beckons. Enjoy.

Without Grant there is no threat from us of scoring a goal - we look piss poor up front - little has changed from last season - toothless and predictable.

[QUOTE=Gwersyllt-Robin;2306219]Agreed. Didn’t make a tackle, but didn’t really have one to make. His passing got us on the front foot and he prevented the opposition playing through the middle.[/QUOTE]

Very interesting that you think our defensive midifielder didn't have a tackle to make. Thats half his job.

You may as well say our centre backs didn't have to head it.

[QUOTE=redmatt;2306277]Barton was brilliant, just what we have been missing
Someone protecting the back 4!

But he didn't protect them at all. Unless standing in front of them counts

[QUOTE=kvred;2306278]Barton looked good on the ball and having someone at cdm seemed to shore us up a lot, but did anyone else think he avoided having to battle for headers?[/QUOTE]

Yes.

Good on the ball no doubt, but when the opposition had it he struggled, especially in the air as you note.
