Fans Deserve Better - Harford

Not happy again..

"What I saw tonight was not acceptable, what was served up for our supporters in a local derby was not acceptable. We Started the game and looked really nervous and got worse. It was a heartless performance, i was really dissapointed in every player barring Andy Monkhouse who was as shining light."

Harford kept his players in the dressing room after the game, and also brought them in for training on their day off. He said of the dressing room chat, "I heard confidence being mentioned, but I believe your either a good player or a bad player and confidence doesnt come into it. You have good games and bad games, and tonight there was too many players that had bad games."

"It was a very poor game, certainly in terms of shots at goal. They didn't have one on target in the second until the goal, We never really threatened their goal, but could have got something out of the game if Martin Butler had converted that chance."

"The goalkeeper takes responsibility for the goal, he should have stayed on his line, the boy was'nt even coming into the box. It's his fault and that's the bottom line."

"At the start of the season we were playing decent football, everything about our game was alright, we were defending, tackling and passing alright but all that seems to have gone. I asked the players why and I didnt get an answer. It's now down to me, and the first thing I think about is to make changes, I have to make changes after that performance, it was nowhere near good enough and the supporters don't deserve that."

"That was'nt worth serving up to anyone, and I'm not prepared to accept that." Harford finished on, giving the players some food for thought...
