Along with Crawley, Harrogate have the worst form over the last six games. We need to make that seven, so COME ON YOU WHITES, GET IN THERE... :oyea:

We need to ‘spring’ into action from the off here. Let’s have no excuses tomorrow night.

They's an aerial threat. https://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/sport/1 ... harrogate/

Iles:
"No team in League Two has won more in the air or put more crosses into the penalty box than Simon Weaver’s Harrogate."

Evatt:
“Some of the players enjoy the heading drills and some of them definitely don't – but I told them if they have a headache then you have got Kieran to thank.

"We’re expecting a few balls in the box, in fact I think that is why a lot of the lads haven’t had a haircut so it can absorb some of the blow. You’ve all seen George Thomason’s hair – Matt Gilks has been calling him a centurion all day because his hairdo has grown into the shape of a helmet.

“We needed the practice at both ends. We know Harrogate are direct, they are physical, they are good at all that stuff and we need to make sure we do that side of the game well. Then we need to make sure we have the quality, intensity and movement to cause them problems.

“The players should take a lot of credit for that [improvement since Christmas] because they have had to put their head where it hurts. We openly admit we would like to score more from our own set pieces. We probably don’t put our head in enough in the opposition box. Defending, we have found some solutions. But we can’t take them for granted."

Evatt's ripped up the usual set of beliefs I have around matches like this. Potential banana skins that we would have a bad habit of presenting them with their first win in how-ever-many games but I don't feel this way now. I've got a feeling that we'll get a result against Harrogate and hopefully set a precedent for the remaining matches.

That's true but it can sure work out probabilities pretty darned quick.

I’m struggling to look at the fixture home vs Harrogate without thinking we should win 10-0.

Gilks

Jones Santos Baptiste John

Lee MJ

Isgrove Maddison Dapo

Doyle

3-0 Bolton.

I'd toss a coin on Isgrove v Delf but same. Without Sarc we don't really play through midfield anyway so hard work out wide and let Marcus be Marcus.

Same, but might be tempted to give Arthur another go on left instead of Dapo. The 5 behind Doyle I think have 2 goals to their name...

I have learned this evening that Harrogate Town's nickname is 'The Sulphurites' and for that reason alone I hope we dick them 8-0.

Argh, quoted myself when trying to edit.

Anyway, I am genuinely in favour of starting Maddison today for the first time in months. Thought he showed some good signs last week and if not today then when?

Agree. Not because I think he's brilliant but because we're lacking a cutting edge up front and it needs freshening. We have options from the bench if he's doing nothing. I wouldn't be tinkering with the formation, probably drop delf. he's been disappointing overall, just think he can do so.much more than he's showing. Still a useful player to have around of course.

Might be well worth the surprise factor; the chance the opposition might not fully expect us to start him rather than use him as a sub. "Super-subs" don't seem to happen these days as often as in the past; I'm thinking David Fairclough or Ole Gunnar Solskjær etc..., but Madison might just rise to the occasion as a front runner.

1-1 today, I just don't think that this team has it in them to score enough goals & I can see Harrogate scoring. I got my hopes up for automatic promotion before the Colchester & Newport games, but I now can't see it. They need to start playing with intensity for the 90 mins & not just the 1st 30 mins, pass the ball quicker and get more men in the box. Oldham put 5 past Colchester last night but we couldn't even manage 1.

I really hope that I'm proved wrong through and that today is the day when they actually play like they are the best team in the league and not stay in 2nd gear - if Sarce plays we may nick it.

I'm thinking this could be quite nervy after the last two outings (not that the performance v Newport was bad). The results probably going to put some pressure on. That said, Harrogate look pretty safe on points and they've lost 4 out of the last 5.

Nervy 1-0 Wanderers.

It’s must win. So I hope our approach reflects that. Our inability to move up in gears or seeming inability is honestly my only concern. A few 3-0 or 4-0 results would have helped I think.
