An entertaining but scrappy game.
At times we were very 2nd best in midfield , but always had a threat when going forward.

3 big points gained.

Improvements in midfield will be needed to challenge at the top of the league.

It does seem that the midfield gets overrun the 2/3 games I’ve seen they do a great job in there.
They are overloaded & do spend a serious amount time grafting their nuts off, Harry & Carl are a great pairing at this level and do complement each other superbly.
One more in there with them looking to pass & bring others into the game & the team would find things so much easier.
Doing too many hard yards at the minute rather than playing football to control matters.
Doing doggies in a shallow 5-2-3 won’t win a league
When the ball is played early the forwards don’t seem to have it to retain possession then the midfield is chasing shadows & outnumbered on the breakdown.

Hopefully they spot this soon & create a better shape from the 1st third areas going forwards to help the central pair who I think provide potentially a really good platform for the team.
4-3-3

Potential of this squad looks great 2-3 others and harrow could well be off and running.
Predict 8th place finish but who knows

Good to hear they ground out the win.

Games coming thick and fast (same for every team in the league of course)

I think that's where the teams with the bigger squads and money have the advantage as players inevitably tire often playing 3 tough games a week.
