Harriers Chatter

Davis was Excellant sitting last season. One of the key cogs in that pb machine the last third of the season. Plus saves any further wear on his legs. Blokes coming to thr end of his career has issues with knees and Murray’s got him bombing forward running channels lol
I’d ideally like a 352 with aMs with Donnelly but the 433
Has worked relatively well
Only up until last month

Just buying tickets for me and my nephew now - £14 for an U16s concession ticket? Christ alive. Absolute robbery.

Tend to agree with Tony on selection for Telford although my concern with Thompson is his defensive work .
Seems far too lazy especially pairing up with an inexperienced Robinson to defend .
He has that lazy slow running attitude where he appears to just go through the motions.
Compare that to Owen Evan’s and his never say die attitude .
Shame because Thompson has heaps of skill .
Johnson looked outstanding in the few minutes I saw him and could be our X factor in the play offs

If you're parking in their car park it'll be £5 and here's the link for it. Makes sense to pay in advance because the machines never seem to be working there.

Shouldn't we be looking to our attacking players for their attacking capabilities, rather than their defensive ones?

It’s part of being in a team to support your full back especially when he has only played once or two professional games .
Just like a full back overlaps going forward an attacking player needs to play his part defensively when necessary.
Not half heartedly either.

Again, you could have said the same about Hemmo. It's a comparison that the more I think about it, the more relevant it seems. See also that cut in and shot that hit the bar after 10 mins on Good Friday.

Think there is quite a mercurial talent with Thompson. He needs support as he gets more experience, he's only 23.

I wonder if it's intentional to try to stop some of the idiots travelling.

Either way will complain. Ludicrous.

Perhaps going slightly off topic from tomorrow, but the above discussion takes me back to my frustration with Russ Penn’s decision to break up our (IMHO) outstanding front three from 2021/22 of AMS, Hemmo and OSJ because he (Russ) didn’t consider OSJ worked hard enough to track back and defend.

The following season we did ultimately achieve our goal of promotion, so perhaps Russ was right, but we spent most of the season very frustrated, not scoring enough, missing OSJ’s creativity and goals, rather than enjoying the defensive qualities of our forwards…

It says sold out for under 16s and under 7s.

Poor from Telford really.

Forced to buy £14 concession tickets if you want to take your kids to the game.

My link at the start still shows it as £7 for U16's and still available. Don't follow their official site information. It's boll##ks

You did use my link didn't you Harry?

I did not - but will raise a complaint with them post match.

Yeah followed your link and it still shows under 12s unavailable and sold out. Albeit under 16s is now available and no longer sold out. Very poor.

How can they have U16's and U12's treated separately?

They don't give us old cripples the option of seating either. Just standing. The whole ticketing section is a mess and that's not the fault of the ticketing platform.
