Nuneaton Town 3-0 Harrogate Town
Before the game, Town fans were hoping they could get back on track after a couple of poor results and with some key players coming back into the squad we really expected something out of the game today. That didn't happen as Nuneaton brushed us aside with a first half thrashing, within 20 minutes the scoring was over, Nuneaton scored 3 in the opening 20 minutes!!! It felt like it was going to be boston all over again. Well it turned out to be not just as bad today but still not accpetable at all.
The opening goal came on 12 minutes after Nuneaton started off brighter than Harrogate, they made the breakthrough thanks to some awful defending from Harrogate Town, Pell left the ball for Gonzalez, Gonzalez didnt arrive and Marsden for Nuneaton nipped in and tapped the ball home.
A good effort from Phillips from a free-kick pulled a good save out of Nuneaton keeper Alcock which kept town at bay. Straight from the save Nuneaton were back on the offensive and they got another goal. Dominic Roma failed to stop Eddie Nisevic getting through and he slotted through the keepers legs to make it 2-0 to nuneaton.
On 20 minutes the 3rd goal arrived and it was nuneaton again, Lee Moore managed to get past Bloomer and drilled it in off the post to make it 3-0 to Nuneaton. A minute later Gonzalez had to make a great save, tipping the ball over the bar to prevent even more embarrassment on Harrogate Town.
Just before the interval, Liam Hardy had a chance to pull a goal back but the keeper parried it round the post, from the resulting corner Armstrong had a header very well saved and pell rather smashed the rebound high into the sky.
The second shalf was a rather subdued affair it seemed Nuneaton had taken their foot off the pedal abit, although Town did improve there was no way back for them, the game ending with a Toner shot being collected by the keeper.
So another heavy defeat for Town surely Simon Weaver must be feeling the pressure now. I was listening to Yorkshire Radio after tha game and Town fans were actually texting in, i havn't seen that for years, they were not happy at all asking weaver to resign. But at the moment weaver is still in charge and will take us into out next match against at New Mills in the FA Cup, a game there is no doubt we should be winning.
