Title: Harrogate Town vs Swindon Town pre match and match day thread
Post by: donkey on Wednesday, April 13, 2022, 12:16:02
Two home wins since early October for Betty's Boys.  Most of our injured players fit (Not Lyden or Cooper)... unsure about McKirdy's status though.

It's seems to be another must win game.

Post by: Batch on Wednesday, April 13, 2022, 13:39:45
Honestly think it is a must win under the circumastances. 1 or 2 points from 12 would be the end (which is what it would be if we don't win).

They've had a funny old season, looking at the table considering how much they have dropped since we played them last time.

Also noticed on the table that despite our much mentioned attacking issues we are the 4th highest scoring team in the league, which suggests that the main problem has been at the other end.

We have the 9th best defence in the league but our defence is a major issue.

My comment previously about McKirdy still stands, in attack he is the player that really makes us tick.

When he has played we have scored 55 goals in the 32 games. A rate of 1.72 goals per game.

When he has not played we have scored just 5 goals in the 8 games. A rate of 0.62 goals per game.

So based upon that we are nearly 3 times more likely to score when McKirdy is on the pitch.

In those 8 games which he has missed we have still never scored more than a single goal in and 3 we didn't manage to score at all in.

Post by: RobertT on Wednesday, April 13, 2022, 14:01:09
Both stats are not a surprise - we have 60%+ possession, a team doing so should have one of the BEST defensive records in the league because we limit exposure to attacks.

On the other side, McKirdy is one of the only players in the team who forces the game to an opponent.  He also has some outlandish % of our total shots at goal I believe.  Without him we are passive, knocking it about with very little intent, especially now Simpson is gone as well and KKH on the right.


Title: Re: Harrogate Town vs Swindon Town pre match and match day thread
Post by: Peter Venkman on Wednesday, April 13, 2022, 14:06:41
I agree, we only look a threat when he takes the risks, so often we have 9 outfield players who will not take any risks in the opponents half, but with McKirdy he will almost always take a risk even when something is not on, he still has a go, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't but at least he "buys the raffle ticket" as Cloughie used to say.

No McGirty tomorrow. Should be OK for Monday.

This comment from Garner had me scratching my head. Does he mean with us or just generally?

Garner on Brandon Cooper:

"The hope with Brandon was to have him back early to mid-June and hopefully he can be and is ready for the start of pre-season. The most important thing is that he recovers."

As for the game, I'm thinking something similar to this. I can't remember why but I recently watched the first half of Harrogate v Orient midweek and Harrogate were not good, Orient were miles better than them. As usual I guess we'll have a lot of the ball but without the spark that McKirdy gives us, and without Williams (I think Garner said he is struggling with injury) I don't see a huge amount of creativity.

Defeat 2-0


Title: Re: Harrogate Town vs Swindon Town pre match and match day thread
Post by: Posh Red on Thursday, April 14, 2022, 10:59:34
No McKirdy, so unless we get a penalty we probably won’t score.

So result will depend on whether we give a goal away or not.

I’m going for a frustrating 0-0 draw


Title: Re: Harrogate Town vs Swindon Town pre match and match day thread
Post by: Peter Venkman on Thursday, April 14, 2022, 11:36:48
Harrogates only win in the last 10 games has come at rock bottom Scunthorpe, winning 3-0.

Current forum of DDLLLDLWLL. In the other 9 games they have scored just 3 goals and conceded 16.

Has all the hallmarks of a 1-0 defeat in front of 1,925 with 575 Town fans there.

They were one of the poorest sides I have seen us play this season in the home game where they emplyed some real rough tactics against us when we grabbed a late draw thanks to the Payne penalty.

They inflicted injuries on Hunt, KKH and Gladwin IIRC where they conceded 15 fouls and 3 yellows at least 1 of which should have been a red for a terrible foul on KKH, they were a big, dirty, gobby, bullying team, ala most teams that come up from the National league.

Like many others already accepted this season’s fate.
Would be good to put up a decent fight after recent performances,  1-1 would do,  but looking so lightweight at the moment not holding my breath.  Fair play to all those making the journey, would probably have done it myself years ago but find it hard to raise the enthusiasm these days.

Pre match giving the thermal mud wrap a miss in The Winter Gardens.
Watching the team will generate enough copious perspiration so no need to visit the Turkish Baths next door.

Grand setting for a pub this.
Walked through the town centre & a vast improvement on some of the tips visited this season.
Was hoping to see the Yorkshire Tea plantations on the way up, nothing but farmland. Must be missing something.

Back up to all 92 clubs visited today.
And yes Trevor Benjamin did turn out for Harrogate in his quest to play for every football club in the country.

Our prospects are not disappearing faster than a Russian flagship just yet.
Have a feeling that Barry will do some good work today.
Hopefully a sparkling display this afternoon, much like the local spring water.

TBF our matches swing from great to shocking often many times in the same game.

But part of the reason our players are playing their trade in L2 is because they cannot consistantly perform, and when they do they are promptly knicked by teams higher up the leagues (Twine, Keshi or Austin for instance).

Good performance, and while Barry has the goals, the difference is having a threat with the direct running of Egbo.  In good old fashioned talk, he is getting chalk on his boots as well.  Simple things make a big difference at this level and given the lack of a direct threat in recent weeks, it's a bit odd he hasn't been given a go sooner.

The ability to pass it around with pointless precision now becomes a very useful tool to have in our box.  Starts to grind down the confidence of the opposition - already seen a couple of occasions with one of their players getting a little irate with his team mates after a spell without the ball.

Still look very open through the middle, but they are not much kop.  Once they couldn't just stand off us they looked poor.

One negative, Davison.  His positioning is awful, touch is not much better and finishing is all over the shop.  For all his hard work (and he puts himself about all over the place - see the impact on positioning though) and physical presence, he is such a downgrade on Simpson.  I don't know if Parsons is up to replacing him in that role though, so probably the best we have available.

Post by: WEBBERhyde on Friday, April 15, 2022, 14:41:14
Great first half.

Seeing the lineup pre match I was a bit disappointed not to see Parsons getting a start alongside Davison, if it’s a goal scorer we needed (watched Parsons slot a couple away nicely for Chippy, hasn’t been given enough of a chance to do that with Town). But Egbo has been a constant danger man (why on earth was he not used last weekend when it’s clear he poses a threat from his cameos so far).

He’s been enabled massively by Davison and Payne in particular occupying the Harrogate defence and leaving Egbo in acres of space on the right. Stuff might not be coming off for either of them but they’re still effecting the game massively. Harrogate comms are highlighting it too.

Keep it up town.

Oldham did that earlier this season and Bradford only need to beat Harrogate too to equal that.

Good win, good performance for 60 mins.

Hunt's loss could be a big one if McKirdy is not ready yet because you probably have to pop Egbo into Right Back or risk moving Tomlinson over and starting Iandolo at left back.  Egbo was the difference make while he was on- kept a defender utterly pre-occupied and even then he had the better of him.

I agree, 3 points against Rochdale, at least a draw at Crawley and 3 points against Newport we would have been pushing the auto places. So frustrating because we know how good we can play but there are tines when we are diabolical and it makes no sense what so ever.
However, very happy with 3 points today, am I gutted about a clean sheet? Not particularly, rather have 3 points all day long, I think Orient Monday will be a much trickier test.

Forgot about that option.  That may be quite effective - Odimayo is not the best attacking threat down that side but the two of them together could be a handful.

It does make sense:

We have some non-league standard players sprinkled into our squad that we have to give game time to due to lack of other options

We are very passive defending, especially through the middle

Without a game breaker type of player we look predictable even if we retain possession well

The good news is Egbo looks like he can offer that more direct threat, and maybe McKirdy is close to a return.  Just those two little changes can completely change the look of our team.

Garner:
- Good performance especially in the first half
- Disappointing to come off at half time only having scored two
- Disappointing to get Hunt injury and concede at the end
- Not much difference than in last few weeks. Final ball was a bit better and we attacked with intent
- Lots of positives in the last few performances, but just needed to create more
- Egbo has been doing well in training. Didnt expect him to be able to last more than an hour
- Trying to ease him in
- They pressed at our place so we wanted good movement to find space
- Goals in 2nd half were down to movement and Josh taking opportunities well
- Today we created opportunities and took them, unlike in last few games
- Tried to rest a few players with the substitution and wanted to give other some times
- Parsons did well at the end at RB
- Hunt felt his calf straight away and heard a noise (I've done that and its not good!)
- Hunt has been great and its a bit of a sour note for that to happen
- Did things a bit differently today in our shape
- Players were disappointed after last Saturday
- Good 3 points and need to get more on Monday
- Recovery session tomorrow, meet up on Sunday ahead of Monday's game.

Barry:
- Been close to Egbo since being at the club
- They have deal where they have to buy each other something when they set eachother up
- Killed the game early
- Today was down to Garner coming up with strategy of running in behind the defence
- When we got the 4th we didnt take our foot of the gas
- Going down to 10 then we were unlucky to concede
- At 18 its amazing to be involved in a promotion race. He hopes he can show his best and help get the team promoted
- Pressure is part of the game. But we thrive on it. Poor result last game but came back stronger today
- Need to get to the play offs and then kill it in the play offs!
- Everyone is going to be confident now and will take it into the next game

Tribute to Sutton Red read out on the radio:
4-1 was part of an in joke with London Reds. Many of the group used to put a bet on this scoreline every week. Sutton Red (Paul Arnold) couldnt believe that Town hadn't won by that score line since Feb 2016 and wondered if it would ever happen again. Sutton Red finally lost his battle with Covid, but during the illness was supported by video messages from Town legends from down the decades. At last we have broken the 4-1 hoodoo. Sutton Red, this one was for you!

That's the easier part of the Easter double header out of the way.
The added difficulty on Monday is being at home.
Doesn't look good for Hunt, hopefully the rest of them can be patched up & ready to go.

Not the best judge of opposition, but would be worried for next season if I were a Harrogate fan.

What an enjoyable day out.

Harrogate were poor, but that hasn't stopped us failing to capitalise before

I was undecided about egbo, and I know I'll get shot down but I still am to an extent, long term. But his two crosses basically decided the match, as i don't think Harrogate had 2 goals in them.

In fact we should have had 4 in the first half, so you do sorry a bit.

Anyway I kind of our my thoughts in the mom thread as to player performances.

Very comfortable and only really went a bit ragged when the subs came in and more after hunt went off.
+------------
Massive Monday ahead. I'd put odimayo RB, but worried about lack of recent game time.

can job play there?


Title: Re: Harrogate Town vs Swindon Town pre match and match day thread
Post by: RobertT on Friday, April 15, 2022, 19:25:16
Egbo is certainly going to be hit and miss - his final ball is a bit random at times, BUT, the threat he offers is enough at this level.  Their left back stayed at home the entire time he was on the pitch and he consistently offered himself for either the ball out wide or over the top.  When he got it, he mostly moved forwards.  It won't always come off (he has come from the second team squad of an MLS club, very much Academy level).
