the_mighty_bosh Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 It's hard to get particularly excited about this match given where both teams are in the league. I thought Harrogate were comfortably better than us in the Boxing Day game, even before Grant's red card. So I'm not expecting us to just turn them over. I'd be happy if Adams came in for Fage, if for no other reason than to give us more of a threat from set pieces. If Walker is injured then it would be nice if we didn't play him. Other than that, the rest of the same team will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, by the law of averages a draw would probably be the best result to keep our 17th place chase on track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And for me both are valid. I accept what the current reality is but I don’t accept that it will always be that way. Hope springs eternal in the breast of man... or something like that.

bigfatjoe1 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 It's a bit ironic that we're looking down on clubs like Harrogate but we all believe in the pyramid system and in earning your place within that system, which is exactly what the ESL is trying to destroy. Hope does spring eternal. Luton have bounced back from a long and dark period, while the likes of Burnley show what still might be possible. All you need is a decent owner...

I'd love someone of this sort of status to have ago with a lower league club for a couple of seasons. Doesn't need the money. Such an experiment would probably be rendered redundant as doubtless it would generate loads more interest and income which would kind of defeat the object if the exercise.

It’s not so much the downgrading of their achievements but more a comparison and realisation as to the demise and fall from grace of our own club.

Probably a good moment to remind ourselves that we are not yet mathematically safe. Colchester are 7 points behind with 4 to play. Only Southend can't catch us.
