Another tough game against an in form team. It would be great if we can grab an elusive win which would set us up very nicely for the Donny match on Saturday.
With another new signing to factor in my thoughts are that we will play wing backs which worked very well against Mansfield first half. Our new manager likes to keep us guessing. The team is playing well with no obvious weak links. Will there be a place in the matchday squad for Milsom & Clay ,the latter who is yet to feature under the new regime.

We've got a 100% record against these opponents since our promotion to League Two, and it would be really helpful to extend that run tomorrow and see the team's first win under Steve Morison.
Harrogate though are enjoying their best season since their own promotion to this level (a year ahead of us), as they currently sit 11th in the league table and top of the form table, not having lost a league match since November.
I'm expecting an attendance well below average tomorrow, despite the attraction of home access to the Collingwood Road end, and Harrogate won't bring many. Being at home under the lights, in a game we need to win much more than they do, might give us the edge.

Whilst neither tomorrow's not Saturday's matches are "must win" in a mathematical sense, I can't help but feeling that failure to gain at least three points from one or both of them will see us heading for the NL next season. I've not been impressed by Clay and it seems SM might be of the same opinion. With Milsom not figuring too, it seems that he is looking to younger players to give us spark and energy.

Like a number of others I will miss the game despite being a season ticket holder with no chance of getting home as no trains and last bus back @7pm

Reigate. The only option home is currently TL2 to croydon, 405 to Redhill and long walk home In place of train via croydon .or Dorking.

Also season ticket holder going to miss this one due to the train strikes.
What's nomally two walks and two, relatively short, train journeys now morphs into a 4 hour round trip, via central London. I'm only in SE London, and I'm a bit tight for time today.
(I do know how paltry that must seem to our hard core away support, but I think I'll leave it until Sat's match)

And, we need the home win. Which is not at all to disparage the valuable draws that we've recently achieved.
It's real pressure on for wins, now. But the team is more solid, more confident and performing far better. We can do this.

Away games are a different story of course, but if we can't win our home games then we don't deserve to stay up.

We've been saying it every game for so long now but it has to be said yet again. This really is a must win game and Doncaster on Saturday. Our performances have taken an upturn even if we are only drawing games but we look so much better. Come on boys let's have six more points by Saturday evening.

I agree, six points and there'll be a little daylight showing. Anything less and the gap will look formidable though there'll still be a third of the season to go. One unavoidable consequence of winning tonight and on Saturday is it will surely lead to Donny sacking McCann within days. That needn't necessarily mean their form will improve but it's hard to see how it wouldn't. Doncaster Rovers have been underachieving massively this season.

I had hoped to come along and cheer the Us on this evening but unfortunately I sprained my ankle last week and it's not healed enough to risk me standing on it for two hours. I'm going to watch on iFollow though and will be wishing you well from home!

Is there any chance we can put a couple of ball boys behind the goal at the GGL end. The amount of time that gets wasted seeing the opposition goalkeeper walk slowly to pick a ball up. It never gets added on

It was clearly because they were winning. With respect, I think Deano would be doing the same thing if we were winning.
Disappointing result tonight against a pretty organised Harrogate side.
Not wanting to put too much pressure on him, but boy, do we need Harry Smith in the side on Saturday.
