Got to love the belly flop from the keeper for the goal.
Shocking finishing from Arrogant Town, no wonder they are down with the dregs.

Hadn't realised how clear cut those chances were that we gifted them

We were desperately lucky to win. Poor performance.

How we won that is still a mystery to me.
Final third again, lacking composure, movement, belief.
We were 2nd to the ball nine times out of ten. Only Olowu, McGrath & Ted Sharman-Lowe came out of that game with any sort of credit. Ted made two goal bound saves, the first from an excellently executed over head kick. Credit to their player who shared a hand fist with Ted that I spotted on the highlights.
Thank goodness all the teams around us drew or lost.
We have to be better.

Those chances were big ones for sure, but most of them were offside.

Well taken by Clifton and good approach work and assist by Gibson after managing to get the ball out of his feet.
So the subs did it again - well done Grant!

Clear cut yes , but in truth neither of the first 2 would have been given because ( as with the 3rd not shown ) the Lino clearly had his Flag up for offside
In the other chance shown I would have said a clear foul on Half Way should have been given
And a free kick off target
So the highlights for Harrogate fans amounted to those last 2
Highlight for me ? Seeing the keeper gift us a win and even better sprinting everywhere to get ball for goal kicks
He went from 40 seconds to 10 seconds instantly. Even crowd cheered ironically as they didn't know he had a second gear
Also enjoyed him running off as the whistle blew.

Guilt edge chance missed by Ironside, from a cracking ball in by Sterry

It was a decent chance but I’m not sure it was a gilt edged one.
The ball came in really fast and I think Joe saw it very late as it came past the defender.
Yes, it was a great chance to score but perhaps not an easy one.
-
In real time that cross came at high speed, admittedly it looks slower in the replay and also looks a “how did he miss that” I was sat almost in full view of i.
Seeing those highlights just shows how lucky we were!
-
Clifton did really well for the goal, sprinting to get into position, checking to receive the pass in space, turning and shooting without hesitation. The type play we'd love to see from our centre forwards.
-
I thought the Sterry so called cross could have been a shot given its pace. It was a half chance at best to me as Ironside didn't have the time to do much with it. I know he was close to goal.
We're just not creating what I call sitters, a bit like the Harrogate big first half chance where he blazed it over from bang in front.
These are the chances strikers want.
-
It’s the type of cross we need more of instead of the usual floaty nonsense.
-
Quality wasn’t great yesterday but it wasn’t a boring game. Plenty going on despite not creating many clear cut chances.
We didn’t get any luck with the referees call on 50/50s, with some of our touches and short passes. The one bit of luck we got was the most important one. I was sure the keeper was saving it.!

Was definitely a cross , I was surprised though because I expected him to shoot. Sterry's been one of our more consistent performers of late , since he had that couple of games out he's stepped up

For me, if it's Joes attempt to score in the 1st half, he anticipated the flight of the ball too early which meant with the curl of the cross away from the goal meant he was ahead of it as he tried to head it
