Harrogate Town

[Campsall rover]

Very impressed with Town tonight. Just taken the lead at Bradford.
Playing some excellent stuff and on this performance they must have a chance of going up again this season.

They look a very good team. Well organised, skillful and hard working.
Deserved their win tonight.

What you really mean is Bradford were a bag of S*** and were beaten by a team of  once part timers !!

Yep, Harrogate used to be non league so let's never give them any credit where it's due.

We were non leaguers remember .Never confuse clubs with teams either .

What a stupid comment. “Once part timers” Some years ago. They are a very well run club and have a very competitive squad for League 2 this season.
They were better than Bradford on the night and that’s credit to Harrogate & the way they played.
Bradford will be a top 7 team this season and possibly top 3 imo.

Great result for Harrogate, but don't give them any credit 1969,

I was impressed with the way they played. I felt it especially showed the ability of their manager and set up.

I think we had a conversation on here when Town were in the Conference North, Campsall, where we agreed that a few of their players wouldn't look out of place in the Football League. Well 7 players that started that Bradford game, were part of that Conference North squad. I also said at the time that they reminded me of Rovers under Dave Penney, play 4-4-2, really fit hard working, honest players that would run through a brick wall for one another.

Yes they do have the look of that 2003/2004 Dave Penney team.
As you say they play a 4-4-2 and not many teams play that system anymore. Would be brilliant if they achieved what that Rovers team did that season and win the league.
Not impossible but i think a play off place is probably more realistic. But you never know do you. Not many of us would have predicted Rovers winning the league that season after the first 5 games.

What I have noticed is one or two of that Conference North team who are playing in League 2 this season look much better players at 2 leagues higher. George Thompson springs immediately to mind in the right midfield slot. He looks a very good player. Harrogate’s Sir Francis Tierney.

Funnily enough Thompson wasn't a regular starter last season, losing his place to Brendan Kiernan who is a bit more direct. I even think they were going to loan him out before lockdown but got his chance after Kiernan was suspended and hasn't looked back.
