Tonight’s team
COYR
-
Westbrooke not even on the bench. McCann is taking rotation seriously with Broadbent coming back in on the bench also after missing out completely.
I hope Close and the team put right those little things that cost us on our last visit.
COYR
-
A few surprises there considering everyone is supposedly fit that played last weekend.
-
No Westbrooke on the bench is he injured / ill is GM sharing the bench places about. Fullback and central defender on the bench as we are away I assume that’s why SBarra is out.
-
The strength of this squad is fantastic.
Never had a bench full of quality like this, and there are players like Sbarra and Westbrooke not there either.
-
Westbrooke not travelled
-
Westbrooke not travelled
Anyone heard as to why not?
-
Strange one regarding Zain, thought he was good v Gillingham.
I really hope Ben Close steps up now and delivers the performances he was originally signed for.
-
In the ground!
Yooooouuu reds!

More away fans than home so far..

Dont know the reason why
-
Rovers fans coming over nice and vocal on Rovers+. Pitch looks superb

You have Rovers+ working? No sound at all yet again here.

45 seconds before kick off before they can be bothered, ludicrous.

Yes good picture and for once a clear Audio..
Thankfully the excellent Robbie Andrews is commentating, a lot easier on the ear than others…
-
Evening gents, looking forward to this
-
Love the white strip. Reminds me of the 1968/9 season. Champions again this term?
-
Was just thinking that, it looks nice
-
Radio Sheff for me. Technical problems so it was going to be Radio York commentary. Fair enough I thought. Sadly the sabotage squad I hired have failed (I was in the SAS he said). So alas Mickey Walker is blathering away unintelligibly once more.
-
Cannot get game on sky sports+ for some reason.? Not being televised.?
-
Dont now if its the lighting at the ground or the sky cameras but its a struggle to see the ball.
-
Any coach with half a brain would put all the traffic towards Sterry.
Going forward he’s fine, but often out of position
-
According to the BBC we have 71% possession. This should result in some goals
-
Is the game being shown on sky.?

Sky sports main

It’s on the main sky sports channel, don’t know if that makes a difference?
-
Now 65%.
-
We look pretty good so far don't we?
Where's me lump of wood??
BobG
-
Got it, thanks very much, I was looking on sky sports+.
-
Is it on radio Sheffield?
-
Yes
-
Just a matter of time, who scores first? My money will be on Gibson.
-
Bugger
-
Bloody ell
-
Sods law, Harrogate go ahead!
-
Good goal sadly.
BobG
-
Gibson has been very wasteful
-
Gibson having a stinker so far. Lost possession again and cost is
-
Should have been a foul on Luke
Ref been decent up till then ffs
-

This comment directly lead to their goal imo
-

Ref played advantage and Gibson f**ked it.
-

Ref played a good advantage and we wasted it. He got it right , we didn’t!
-
They're doing a grand old job on us at the moment.
-
God I hate Harrogate
-
Why do we play poorly when it’s Harrogate?
-
Dont now if its the lighting at the ground or the sky cameras but its a struggle to see the ball.
I think it’s the floodlights, the ball seems to be in shadow.
See the difference between the far side and this near side.
-
We’ve looked good in general but our midfield is very open when they counter as Bailey and Clifton are playing high up
-
March and Muldoon playing as split strikers are nuisances but both are fresh back from injury so won’t last long.
Prior to their return for Harrogate they went 3 games without scoring in all comps.
-
Sorry but we've been garbage
-
Total shite.
-
Ffs
-
Game over, a farce
-
Who's going to get sent off?
BobG
-
TSL should have got that
Can we just not bother with Harrogate anymore
-
Well, a rocket from Grant needed. It’s not over yet.
-
Who's going to get sent off?
BobG
Grant McCann.
-
When did mcgrath become a mauruding defender???.
Grant will be fuming
-
How many professional teams concede a goal down the middle like that? Rubbish
-
Game over, they've done a complete job on us.
-
Was that a McGrath o.g?Looks like he slid in and pinged it into the goal?
-
I feel sorry for the fans who have travelled
-
Poor defending for both goals and we are lacking sharpness up front ( no pun intended)
-
Was that a McGrath o.g?Looks like he slid in and pinged it into the goal?
Think McGrath got a foot in and it then deflected off the forward and rolled in.
-
Bollocking required, and Gibson needs replacing
-
Keeper bottled it should have slid in for all and wiped all three out
-

Difficult to tell but he either put it in or put it on off their lad’s knee.
-
They're allowing us the ball in areas that can't hurt them and defending well then breaking. They've done a good number on us. The ref hasn't given us much though.
-
Hopefully puts to bed that possession stats are a complete load of b*****ks
-
Ffs, we’ve thrown this away with a flat track bully attitude. Get an early goal and I’m still confident we will take something from this
-
Maybe could do with Olowu on to stop their counters.
-
TBF, we haven't been the best in the final third and look a little short of ideas.
Harrogate have hardly had the ball are v.lucky to be 2 up.
Let's see how much we want this.....
-
Gibson has got to go off and I can’t be the only one who thinks Close kills our midfield. Lack of aggression, lack of urgency. No wonder our fans think he’s ace because all he does is play the way he’s facing which is either sideways or backwards. He never wins the ball back, it’s always another player or the opposition lose possession. The sooner McCann realises it the better.
-
GM will be livid at that performance. Be interesting to see where the axe falls in subs for the second half.
-
How many subs we reckon grant will make?
-
From what I can see, Gibson having a mare, crosses are way too overhit, wasteful and getting caught in possession resulting in their breakaway for the first goal, Sterry has been crap, just let's their man get crosses in whenever he wants without closing him down and making a tackle. Midfield at times is wide open with acres of space and not a Rovers player in sight. We seriously need some pace in this side, Anderson and McGrath were huffing and puffing trying to catch March. He wouldn't have got away from Olowu.
Come on Grant we need a much better second half from you.
-
Anderson like a tortoise in attempting to get back for their second and a poor effort at a clearance for their first. Wouldn’t be surprised to see Joe replace him.
-
Well, a rocket from Grant needed. It’s not over yet.
I hope you're right and 'I'm wrong, but....
-
Could have done with Westbrooke on the bench
-
Not much for their goalkeeper to have to save.changes needed at half time.

Close has been cack
-
This game made for Ironside. You need a target man up front winning free kicks and an aerial presence. Billy as good as he is, isn’t that. Go two up front, get that next goal, Barrow all over.
-

That 2nd is all on mcgrath for me. Gallops forward and plays a shit ball that gets pinged straight back down the middle.
-
I'm not sure anyone had a 'mare' - there were wrong decisions made and Harrogate had everything fall their way. PMA guys - it's not done yet.
-
Nothing wrong with McGrath going forward, just need someone from midfield to backfill his space. Lack of communication.
-
Rovers bossing all the stats except the important one .
-
Yeboah on for Sharp will be the next change
-
Couple of chances there. We're still in this!
-
Commentary now not working for the second half on Rovers +, anybody the same?
-
Nope Hurst for Close… any idea on what formation we’re playing now?!
-
Has Robbie gone home early?
-
Just had a bet on Harrogate to win so least I'll get something back
-
Not thought much of McGrath this evening.
-
We need something soon!
-
Clifton.. not sold on him yet.
-
Just not happening tonight.
-
Looking at the stats, how on earth are we losing?
-
We need something soon!
A commentary would be good!
-
No creative spark. Surely sbarra should make the bench. Only out and out 10 we have
-
And oh how we miss maxwell.
Fleming isnt a patch on him
-
It’s a bit crap this
-
Looking at the stats, how on earth are we losing?
Possession: 32.1% Harrogate, 67.9% Rovers
-
Time for a 30yd screamer. We arnt gonna cut through them or win a header in the box. They are packing that defence
-
We don’t look like scoring.
-
McCann’s head has gone for this game. Absolute chaos since we went 1 down
-
Just like Newport. We've got worse and worse the more subs and formation changes that happen.
-
McCann’s head has gone for this game. Absolute chaos since we went 1 down
Our set up is very odd.
Molly to the 10
Clifton out wide?
-
Every flick or mist placed pass for Harrogate has gone to their player in our case we lose it
-
Playing about now, but no change in how ineffective Rovers are.
-
Top of the league, you're having a laugh? What has gone so wrong? Believing their own hype? No runners behind the defence, not getting down to the by-line. Another reset needed as after Newport.
-
Mind you, if it was Rovers winning 2-0 and getting completely dominated like this I would be more worried for the season ahead
-
We’ve looked tame against a stubborn defence.
-
Very frustrating night
-
Just play 8 defenders in the box and any team will struggle to score but we struggle to get a shot on target
-
Deserved for Harrogate worked hard as a team and totally used the tactics against us
-
Piss poor. We could play all night and wouldn't score.
-
Harrogate have been the worst team in the league with set pieces and our delivery has been dogshite
-
Poor by Rovers, a lot of work to do!
-
Bad, bad night at the office. But nothing to get too worked up about. There will be lots of ups and downs this season. On to the next one
-
Harrogate have been the worst team in the league with set pieces and our delivery has been dogshite
When did we last score from a free kick or corner into the box? We are terrible at attacking set pieces
-
Expected a reaction in the second half, what we got was utter shite, we were worse!
-
Did their keeper have a shot to save?
-
Think that’s as poor as we’ve seen this season
Onwards and upwards

Clifton out wide?
Going 4-4-2 at half time was just complete panic. Ironside needs a quick runner playing off him for the flick ons, not Sharp.
We lost all control of the midfield. Very strange from McCann.
Yeboah should have been on way earlier, Hurst looked lost again spent more time at left back going round in circles.
-
Did their keeper have a shot to save?
According to BBC Stats we had 21 attempts at goal and 5 on target. I can’t recall any of them and I don’t think that either keeper made a save
-
There was a deflected shot that their keeper saved
-
Sorry to say this but Weaver has yet again done a job on us, & Grant has had no answer, only desperate subs that made us look very disjointed.
-
Well, the less said about that the better. They were the better team and deserved the win.
It happens.
I'd rather we get shit like this ironed out early in the season so we know what to potentially to do.
-
Just got home.
Still baffled about that 2nd half. I can only assume Grant wanted Moly away from the hammering he took in the first half. Completely made him ineffective.
Yeboah gave us a lift but we were trying to walk it in through a box with 9 Harrogate players in it at all times.
Harrogate's gameplan worked and we fell right into their trap. That's the biggest disappointment.
