I still think Cloughie got it wrong. If he started with the same team as Forest Green I think the score would of been 13.1 :D :lol:
I have to admit that i was a tad worried before the game. I could see a low scoring draw but what an. unbelievable result. Got the missus to pinch me this morning so it wasnt a dream

No matter what starting XI was selected no one will have seen that result coming, I really expected a hard fought game and grind out a result against an in form Harrogate.

I was really devastated when I saw Swan & Clarke dropped to the bench, for them more than me, my immediate thought was we've lost that pace & goal scoring threat up front but up pops Hiram.

A staggering result, onto Walsall where we need to keep that level of intensity going.

My thoughts exactly, Clarke is always the first name on my teamsheet, was MotM Saturday, and Swan gets his confidence back and then is benched but obviously , and hands held high, what do I know. Well done the Manager in every way.

Nice to see the most skilful player in the squad bar DKD scoring a hatrick. Well done Hiram!

Have to admit I didn't think that starting 11 would have the legs or drive on a very heavy pitch to take it to a physical Harrogate team.

Although it does seem they have changed their playing style to an inferior version of us instead of the previous physical / close down quickly version we have always struggled with.

Clough certainly has some selection headaches. Can he bench Boetang? Almost certainly as he did with last weeks MOM Clarke who I would expect to return.

Akins will play so is it Swan or Nichols. Swan has his mojo back but Nichols is a very clever player.

Does he play Bowery or Williams at right back ? When Hewitt and Johnson return we will have 4 players for that position. (5 if Akins drops there as RWB)

Think I'll leave it to him.

I was surprised at the changes but in Nigel we trust and what do i know.
Now what did surprise me was all the experts and the best of keyboard warriors took it all very calm a few groans about Swan and Clarke not playing and of coarse Akins from north of the border
The changes were accepted and i got the feeling that most thought Clough knew best

Had the result been anything but a win I think there would be many, many comments and I would have been one of the first to do so

Shame you are not in Nigel we trust supporter but a slow learner and lets hope you were their to witness another record equalled or broken.
What a time to be a Stags Supporter win lose or draw.
