Harrogate Town vs Swindon Town pre match and match day thread

I think it means 'for Swansea' after seeing other comments on Twitter

That Cooper comment is just random isnt it, unless a deal has aleeady been agreed for a season long loan next season?

But what about Ollie?

But why would Garner make comments about a player returning who isn’t connected to the club anymore. Cooper has gone back to Swansea for his rehab so what us the June and pre season comment about?

[Quagmire]

Everyone else is all good. Brandon Cooper is hoping to be back around mid-June for Swansea. He came to the game on Saturday just to see everyone.

Makes it pretty clear it’s back for Swansea.

No crystal ball is needed to put this down as a dull no score draw.

Sadly a lacklustre 2-0 defeat in front of 2,100 inc 580 Town fans

I guess someone said "any chance of Cooper being fit soon"

In any case its been cleared up now.

The adver quote I just read states that he is talking about Cooper with Swansea. I assume other journalistic pieces of work must have omitted this important piece of news or it has since been amended.

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

[No Longer Posh Red]

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

[Peter Venkman]

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.

I love the determinedly dogged downbeat nature of Town fans.
Optimism is not an option.
Wouldn't have it any other way!

Just arrived in the Brew York beer hall for an equally determinedly dogged ale soaked 3 days in North Yorkshire.
