No idea what has happened to Kemp but he can’t even trap the ball. Terrible. Commentators eulogising about Harrogate but they haven’t had to do anything, we have been awful. Can’t see any positives, James ain’t been too bad. That’s it.

I can appreciate we’ll lose games this season but I didn’t expect us to be quite this sh*t . That was as bad as anything I saw last season . We’ve made it so easy for them. We have hardly any goal threat . I can’t see us being able to get anything out of this game.

We either have to change tactics or change formation. They are putting pressure on us but cutting down our space meaning we are pumping long balls to no one. We need to move more and pick the pace up.

Personally I’d be tempted to take omotove off, he’s not touched it, throw Kemp out to the wing to stretch play and throw clay on to give us an extra body in midfield because we are outmatched there atm.

They’ve pressed and harried us very well, and we’ve been completely unable to pass the ball around / through them, so that we’re constantly resorting to terrible rushed long balls off the pitch.

Hopefully they run out of steam a bit second half.

Just talking to my mate at HT . We’ve both agreed that if we play like this again against Bradford on Saturday it’s pointless turning up .

Harrogate have been a yard quicker all round the pitch. We’ve overhit almost every single ball, all of them over the top, virtually nothing on the deck. Omotoye has done nothing, mostly because he’s had the ball twice in 45 minutes. The two goals, well the less said the better.

This is the opposite of the Exeter game; we’ve looked disjointed and, well, just not very good. Gonna need a massive turnaround to get anything out of this. At least KJ will have given them a bollocking, unlike Embleton. That’s our only hope.

3 games in and very clear our squad is 4 players light and not strong enough to challenge auto promotion, first 13-15 are but not the squad.
CM urgently needed
FB cover needed
AM needed
RW needed
When fit we need to play Smyth as a CF not as a RW.

Keep hearing from KJ signings are imminent, so let’s hope they are 🤞

Upped the tempo and got more in the box at least. Why didn't James take the pen he hit a peach against QPR in the shootout

Wood for Ogie
Sotiriou for Omotoye

The second one seems odd as Omotoyoe had just started to make a bit of an impact.

We’re clueless in front of goal. Harrogate are better than us all over the pitch

Harrogate are very well organised and not giving us anything near the goal, but we just look baffled. It’s really odd.

Don’t know what’s worse the game or the streaming. Turned them both off.
