Sounded like we have actually mullered them and could well have scored 10.

Great win. I think that game will go down as a very important moment of the season!

Omg, this lot are a frustrating bunch , at halftime I seriously thought 'here we go again' then it was a story of 2 players Kalvin Kalala's genius & Jon Steads stupidity.
I know which one I'd rather have in my side.
Well done lads , but by christ you do frustrate me.

Surely, after all these years watching TUFC, you are used to frustration!

Game of 2 halves, the first we were poor, a silly Cundy error and then challenge for their penalty

2nd half we started slow again and scored from nowhere really however a few minutes later and Cameron is caught out for 1-2

Game changing moment came with the sending off of Stead followed by a wonder strike from Kalala!

Reid misses ANOTHER penalty and luckily got the rebound before striking well for his 2nd. He could have got a couple more missing a sitter in the first half

Harrogate were dead on their feet at the end

An important win with a few faces missing, have to say I was very unimpressed with Duku some better forward cover is needed!

Ref was terrible so inconsistent of what was a push/foul led to a frustrating afternoon

Statistics wise, Does this count as an assist as well? :}

I should be shouldn't I really.
But now into season 41 & I still believe I'm doing the right thing by backing the gulls.
It's the hope that kills you & knowing that this squad have got it in abundance frustrates me when it doesn't click. Mind you there's a reason the boys are playing at this level
However, I'd rather support my local side than be a Man U 'loyal' fan, or such as- never have done never will do.

First half we couldn't get going mainly due to the system and re-shuffling the midfield. Everything went high and long and it was really poor. Im not sure if Joe Lewis has played a lot in midfield, he did ok and I can kind of see why GJ has put him in there.
Jon Stead was a constant pain in more ways than one. The game really changed on his sending off. He really cost them today. Two disappointing defensive errors today, Cundy for the penalty. Upto that point he hadn't put a step wrong, unlucky not to score from the corner and then that silly rash push. I m not sure how much game time he's played recently but he looks very impressive as long as he doesn't do anything silly like that again.
Cameron got beat at the far post which he will be very annoyed about.
Kalala, what a goal that was!!Kalvin does what Kalvin does best, nobody could get near him , fantastic 2nd half display.
For me when Dickson came on and they pushed Andrews wide made all the difference, how many chances did we have. We really could have scored 3-4 more.
Not sure about Duku, maybe we are not playing to his strengths?? I thought Ben Whitfield had a good game, JR did well, Frankie V didn't stop running.
A really entertaining 2nd half and a real positive that we stepped up mentally and came from behind twice.
Good result.

Yes, poor first half. Why did we insist on going long - made Duku look like a donkey, which he isn't. Only 6 attempts and two on target although Cundy did hit the post with a header. Stead was excellent for Harrogate but everything changed after he was sent off and Kalala came on. He ran the game and the chances flowed. 16 attempts in the second half, 10 on target and 4 goals.

It is worrying that a side like Harrogate who only had 4 attempts all match and still scored 2 goals. We need to tighten up in defence - too casual at times.

Very entertaining game and impressive result given the number of first-line injuries. I disagree that the referee was poor. I thought he got all the important decisions exactly right including the sending off.

A little disappointed with the size of the crowd but not with the support which was good throughout.

Does anyone know what Stead did for the second booking it was to do with Andrews.
