Harrogate scorethread by first time visit

Think we`ll win this one, NC had a very fresh and positive attitude after the Cambridge match and I reckon he will really put it up to the whole squad to show their resilience and strength of character. As for the team, I1`d like to see a midfield of Gordon Clarke and Law, Sinclair in the middle behind Bowery and Reid and ducking as I say this, Jamie Clarke at right back.

Stone

J Clarke. Perch. Sweeney. Benning

Sinclair. Clarke. Maris McLaughlan

Reid. Law.

[diablo]

I think he'll pick the same team (baring injuries from Saturday) then probably make changes in the second half earlier than previously when they start to fade

[yellowstagsfan]

Just change Mal for McLaughlin and maybe give young Jason a start

2-1 to the Super Stags

Looks like Harrogate have a plan, the same plan they beat us with last time, play the long ball up to beck and run off him, with the playing surfaces in league 2 sounds a master plan.
We struggled against him at home, We need to stop the rot a draw will do

[Sneag]

I wonder if it's as windy up there as it is here.

[Jimstag]

We’ll see but I’d expect a similar side but maybe perch dropping if he hasn’t shaken off that knock. Whether it’s Okeefe or Clarke will be his decision. Personally I think okeefe has been unlucky this season.

[lifestags]

Looking forward to this one, just dont want to see ''unchanged'' at 6pm.

[PEAR CIDER]

I think O'keefe will start tbh

[kevin kents tasce]

The right back situation is interesting. If O’Keefe starts and plays well, is it then his position to lose?

I know this has been Cloughs policy in other areas of the pitch

It is very windy where I am - around 30 miles from Harrogate

[Martin Shaw]

Yes it is windy at the ground. Strong enough to have an impact on the game I think.

1 change law for Quinn.

1 change law for Quinn.

Not that confident about tonight. There’s just not many good players in that starting 11 is there *shrugs*

Surely Sarkic is a much better wide forward than Charsley too, who I’m sure is fatigued himself after seemingly playing every single minute this season.

1 change law for Quinn.

These are the same players that went 8 unbeaten

Load of tosh

Jason Law's big chance. Hope he takes it. You sometimes only get one chance in football.

[gazza1988]

Good to see Gordon back on the bench. I'd love to see him on the right where Charsley is.

[georgefostersbeard]

So pleased that Law has been given the chance to start a game and really hope that he kicks on from his impressive 30 minutes on Saturday.

[broomo]

Good to see Gordon back on the bench. I'd love to see him on the right where Charsley is.

He doesn't have the composure or the final ball to be an effective attacking midfielder in my opinion.

He may develop it as he gets older but at the moment his final ball is more miss than hit.

Looking forward to seeing Law and hoping Sinclair gets a good 20 minutes as well.

[BH_Stag]

Surprised there’s only one change. Let’s hope they’re chomping at the bit to bounce back

Very windy with fine, drizzly rain blowing north-east ish. I’m 20 miles to the south-west of Harrogate. Not pleasant footy weather particularly if their pitch is anywhere as bad as ours. They replaced their plastic pitch for the start of the season. They first played on it on 17th October having played some home games at the Keepmoat (Doncaster) so it won’t have had time to settle in properly. I think they relaid it after winning the playoffs on August 2nd.

[diablo]

There is only one change because Quinn struggles to play 3 matches in 8 days so I think he's resting him but on the bench just in case , so here's hoping Law takes his chance .
