Harriers Chatter

Deadly Donnelly - COYR

Not quite sure how we're winning but I'll take it, I really hope we aren't going persist with this back 4, it's only a matter of time before Telford take advantage again

Telford red card

Good away performance, even if we looked ropey at the back when attacked out wide at times.

What a strange season this is - success or failure that game sums it up. Lots of effort, not a great deal of quality yet somehow we get over the line.

The set up in the first half was odd and ineffective. We never quite looked solid at the back. Lovett worries me at times.

Great strike by Coops and another Donnelly classic.

I can’t quite believe we are third. I know I’ll get told to cheer up.

This needs to happen asap

Couple of points here - do we even know Donnelly wants to sign for Harriers next season and £50k seems like a little OTT for a player at this level.

Good points but I do like the idea of crowd funding to boost the playing budget. Hope it happens this off season wherever we are playing.

Why? Why not just sell something for money that fans will buy?!

He had a good game today. But talk of paying £50K for him is wild.

So amazing 3 points again. We played better 11v 11 though but I know that happens a lot in football. Brayden Johnson MOTM for me and he not fully fit. Obviously AM knows what he's doing. We won!!!!I thought overall Telford were poor and even though it wasn't our best performance we 100% deserved the win. On to Saturday and another 3 points

Funny game that.

Feel like Robinson and Johnson are still getting to grips with the level. Johnson played well mind and Robinson improved as game went on.

The defence is clearly much more shaky than it was. Which is to be expected given the injuries. Is Bird not fit or just not selected?

Telford annoyed me today. Attempting to influence the referee all the time. Stenson, fletcher and their centre half all at it. Stenson waving his arms like a windmill when it doesn’t go his way. He’s very effective at getting away with fouls and winning them. But credit where it’s due, he’s decent in the air and on the floor and you can see why he’s scored so many. Shame someone stood on his bad foot-‘d their players pushing and waving Walker off. Bad sports all round if you ask me.

Well done to ref for playing the time added on. Did Lovett time waste? Yea. Wish sides wouldn’t do it. Did they begin time wasting as soon as they went ahead? Yes.

Was it a red? I’d argue we got the rub with that one.

But felt like he caught Seb for the penalty.

Bizarre moment for me with that drop ball second half. I thought we had a free kick for a high foot on Johnson (don’t Cooper get booked first half for that ….?) but then it seems to be given as an uncontested drop ball which Obi whacked across field (attempting a pass) only for it to go to their player and they win a corner from a break.

Were we good? Not really. Did we stand up to a tough challenge? Yes.

Well done to Wilkin for mentioning we are a full-time club within five seconds of his interview starting on BBC Shrops. A new record perhaps. He wasn’t happy was he?

That is one massive win that
With Macc loosing it turns up the heat on them big time
Travelling fans sounded very noisey all you could pretty
Much hear on radio
We need to keep KD at all costs and a crowd funder idea is tremendous

Don’t expect to see pretty games at this stage of the season. All about grinding out the result which is what we did yesterday.
Having praised Robinson on Friday, the poor lad had an awful first half, nowhere near up to the pace. I was surprised Telford didn’t try to expose him more after his yellow card. After we changed shape in the second half he looked much more comfortable as an attacking wing back.
Loved the energy of Johnson and Donnelly
Telford fans moaning the ref was on our side. He wasn’t, he was just utterly inept. Some perplexing decisions. And it was a clear red card.
3rd place still in Macc’s hands but they’ve got to go to Shields yet. Four wins should do it boys.
