tonight: Leyton Orient vs Harrogate
We play Harrogate twice in the next 11 days, so will be interesting to take a look at them tonight.

Whatever the result will mean that we drop down the table.
Those accustomed to privilege may feel that equality is oppression.

HT Leyton Orient 0-2 Harrogate
Harrogate have been very efficient. Solid at the back, and Armstrong has had too much strength for the Orient defence.
Orient have had lots of possession but the final ball has been awful & the defence has been terrible. They were booed off at HT

FT Leyton Orient 0-2 Harrogate
Much more of the same in the 2nd half. A very comfortable win for Harrogate who were very strong and solid.
Orient were very poor indeed. They did have a chance to get back into it early in the 2nd half but missed a penalty, weakly taken by Harry Smith and easily saved.
Harrogate will be very tough opponents indeed. They look a very efficient unit, highly committed, and great physical strength up front from Armstrong.

Quite a few teams have stepped up this year. Getting promotion will not be an easy task. Swindon were nearly gone earlier this year and have made a good start to the season. We have great potential though and hopefully can get a win on the board . A solid defender will strengthen our chances of really competing in the top six.
Forest Green look good but they are prone to blips. We have to manage our games better in the closing minutes.
Mansfield Town, my club even though been exiled in London since 1983.

There's a lot of talk of better defending, some of it justified, but we have face the second lowest amount of shots in the league, so we are doing something correctly, and better than most teams.

Watched Forest Green at Brentford last night, worryingly I thought they were excellent, looking more like the Premier League team than the Bees first half.

Hi Mark - Phillip and Mick, a couple of Retford Stags, also went to Brentford last night to see Brentford's new ground.
I went to Stoke as I have never been to the Britannia Stadium. I went to the Victoria Ground in 1993 when George Foster's Stags played quite well to get a 2-2 draw in the League Cup. I think Big George was sacked by new owner Hasloan shortly afterwards.
Why did Stoke leave such a massive gap between their massive Main Stand and the pitch? It must be the longest distance between the dugouts and the pitch in the league. It spoils the ground.

That’s absolutely unbelievable, how did we manage that?
Basically nottinghamshire did what’s known as a “flitcroft”

Went in my Stags polo, passed a few "you're none league" smirks to a couple of lads in County shirts. Dunno how we threw that away, shocking really.

Forgot about these games, hope Harrogate draw because I can't force myself to wish Newport to win.
