Bet that buffer could defend better than us too!
Colchester Utd 1 Bolton Wanderers 0 (45 min)
Walsall still in the top half of the table (just…)
Central midfield and centre backs both poor, changes needed at half time.
Absolutely shambolic half that
Guthrie & Osadebe will be on before you know it
Clarke ay much good really is he? Thought he was gonna be our star defender but he’s probably our worst.
I thought I would be saying Norman is the weak link in that back four line up, but it is by far an away Clarke. Take the captaincy off him so the pressure to play him isn’t there. Scarr/Sadler or Scarr/Jules should be the centre back pairing with Nurse at left back.
A midfield two of Bates and Kinsella is too light wait as well.
That 45 mins is a wake up call.
I think a few were getting a little carried away based on one decent performance again.
Its the hope that gets ya!
Very poor from us after the goal. We are being bullied all over the pitch. Midfield is non existent…I would get Sinclair on for Bates at HT and Nurse for Clarke with Jules moving to CB. If Harrogate were any good I would not be so worried but they are poor.
take clarke off replace with nurse push jules in centre
Think this might end up a heavy defeat. Like my best mate above says it’s the hope that gets to ya!
Back to a poor start again, makes it incredibly difficult to have faith after a performance like that first half.
Really really poor.
No midfield and the Cbs as commanding as a boiled egg. James Clarke just isn’t good enough.
Nice goal but that was about it. Back to needlessly hoofing it to nobody. Mcdonald still hasn’t remembered he is allowed to pass the ball.
Need to be alot better than this
Osadebe needs to come on. Should have started him too.
They’ve done their homework on Clarke the weak link in defence
Men v boys in centre mid
Damage limitation now
Agree. He could make a difference. Let’s hope there’s a rocket up their arses for the second half.
After a good start to the game, we’ve been muscled off the ball eversince.
Clarke has been dreadful at the back and McDonald non existent. They are pressing very well and we can’t deal with it…changes need to be made for the second half.
One of the Harrogate players has no name/number
Doesn’t that mean we win by default?
Forest Green Rovers 0 Bradford City 1 (49 min)
Leyton Orient 0 Mansfield Town 1 (51 min)
No Walsall substitutions as yet…
Interesting that when Scarr goes forward Beck marks him yet for their second we had Clarke marking Beck.
That just bad preparation by the coaching and management team.
Better 2nd half so far
