First of all I have to say BSN football is certainly a culture shock if Harrogate are anything to go by.
I am sat in my hotel room in downtown Harrogate wondering how we didnt manage to win that game today.
We created so many chances and they were defending for their lives for the last 35 mins
Lee Sinnot looked as bewildered as I felt when he walked off the pitch..
Harrogate probably wont have a bigger crowd all season and I am certainly not convinced they will be a force to reckon with. They were a very physical team who were very lucky to have just the one player sent off - how there no 7 and the centre back with the Lionel Ritchie hair do didnt get there marching orders is beyond me. There goalie was also in slow motion replay mode for the total game and really pissed most the visiting off big time, the ref chose not to even give him a yellow card for some unknown reason
although I am pissed off I am by no way concerned at the lads general performance
If we are going to do well in this league we can do it by playing football and not humping balls up like the opposition did.
We were a yard faster than Harrogate today.
We go again on Tues at home to Warrington Workington

Spot on.
We could play Harrogate 100 times and we'd beat em 99 times. Today was just not meant to be.
We'll win more than we'll lose this year and there will be far worse teams in this league than Harrogate who in my opinion were pretty poor.
The only negative from today was the fact that we looked v vulnerable each time they whipped a cross in. They scored on one occassion and nearly had a couple more from similar situations.
As Nicky Clee has said on Twitter , we'll play worse than today and win.
Keep the faith.
