Harriers Chatter

No imagination with the subs. Predictable again from Murray

Harriers win 4-0. A great result.

Great result and performance. Anything less would’ve been concerning against such a weak opposition but you’ve got to get the business done. Great to see Thompson scoring again too.

MOTM for me would probably be the Sports keeper - I think without him it would’ve been double figures. Donnelly otherwise.

I felt on Saturday Donnelly was the missing link for Mrrays tactics, along with Thompson beside him on the right but I wanted another game to judge it. He absolutely is the missing link, he feels like Morgs when he had the speed. Strong, powerful and tricky.

Sad he's on a 2 year deal at Boston. Already falling in love with a loan player.

Defence was solid but didn't need to be anything else, Davis and Kandola nullifed the midfield and the attack they could t handle most of the time.

Why after Saturday Gash thought it was a good idea to start himself I'll never know, Donnelly had him in his back pocket all night until he subbed himself

Wow, Donnelly is a real handful. He created about six chances tonight out of nothing, chances that wouldn’t have existed without him in the side.

It was a good game for Bird to get back into and he looked excellent, a real bonus for us.

Dibs had to work a bit for his clean sheet, one of his saves was top drawer.

Being ultra critical we still need to be more clinical in front of goal but that was such a tonic after the awful game here last week.

Onwards to Saturday where we face a Chester team very much in form.

They were poor but so were alfreton. Such a contrast in those performances. This was one of a handful Of occasions this season ive left Aggborough feeling entertained
Donnelly is the bollocks and he and the formOf seb are a huge part of why our front three are looking very good.
Reynolds back to his best goal Of the month already won by him , thought Kandola was excellant again. Great to see bird back and seemingly get throufh the 90 no problem
Dibble earned his clean sheet night
Difference was Donnelly my motm but agree that the sports keeper Crook had a brilliant game

Btw no issues with the subs game was won so murray i felt used them very well indeed not sure what some are expecting? We are playing saturday tuesday for the next few weeks and some are carrying knocks

You can only play and beat what's in front of you, last season Harriers failed miserably to beat a side of similar poor quality (Rushall) tonight it could easily have been another performance riddled with complacency against a side in dire straits in PS - BUT credit AM he picked the right team and he got a total football performance full of energy, effort and no little skill and to a man they kept going for the ninety odd minutes, even though they were so far superior. Even allowing for the opposition Harriers were a joy to watch and but for the keeper it could easily have been 7 or 8 - & Gashy should retire, he was awful. IMO RR epitomised what Harriers were all about tonight, never stopped running and linking play, he has found his mojo again, closely followed by Donnelly who deserved his goal for persistence - Foulkes also was brilliant. Dibbs had very little to do except one good save first half in a one on one after Obi's goof, after that he could have gone back to his knitting !! I do feel Seb offers more of a threat than Walker and he was unlucky not to open the scoring from a free kick, though he got the second goal. On to Chester and I hope Murray sticks with a winning side and doesn't tinker - errrmmmm??

Eh????are u joking Phil?? Subs were all needed. We have so many games coming up and we were winning 3-0!. As someone said you can only beat what's infront of you and we did a very good job tonight. Everyone put a shift in . Obi had a great game as did bird . Reynolds MOTM just over Donnelly for me. He looks a great addition. Saturday will be a lot trickier but we can beat anyone at the moment. We'll done AM on another great win

Some very good points made there George.

I would rather he had brought on Brucie earlier (60th minute) and my comment was made before he did come on.

Just felt that bringing on Clarke was a bit un-inspiring.

Actual diagonal balls put through for strikers to run on to .
Good performance
thought Donnelly was amazing how good are Boston that they can loan him out ?
Bird and Obi superb against poor but pacy opposition.
Unusual to see so many players clap when a team mate is substituted as ours did with Donnelly ( and probably spurs with their keeper tbf) .
Enjoyable night .

No issue with giving Clark minutes and resting other midfielders.

Minaker got a decent amount of time and looked lively.

Yes. This sums up what I’d say.

Some will say Sports were limited (they are) but we did the job well and we continue a good run of form.

If losing Hemmings was the only way to bring in Donnelly then that’s good business on the face of it.
