Never had a fair chance with all three centre backs unavailable and two midfielders who’ve been playing well paired up to fill in. Doesn’t sound like Hamza or Sraha will be involved again… god it keeps getting harder doesn’t it

[rallyman]

Yes we had our bad luck before the kick-off with losing players & others having to fill in, but overall we got what we deserved with (correct me if I'm wrong), one shot needing saving in 90 mins.

Terrible start which we never recovered from or looked like we would. Still not mathematical impossible to escape, but worse team in the league goes down and that, I'm afraid to say, is clearly us.

Disappointed with the result not with the commitment from the players. Beaten by the better team. Disappointed with the set up of the team be it from injuries or management decision. Kaine never got a look in, Josh clearly injured and Dom Tear on the bench. Surely we have to give it everything to win a game.
George once again immense 100%.
Onwards and upwards.

The writing was on the wall or rather team sheet before a ball was kicked

Never got going this afternoon in a game in which the hosts had complete control of.
More tomorrow…

I’d hoped for better today but outclassed and it was boys against men at times. I’ll still keep believing in hope but not optimistic

[bigj]

Like Steve's analysis, tells it like it is without criticising individuals and still sounds positive despite our predicament and unlike the previous management where it seemed like they were still learning on the job.

Hmmm aged well.

Feels unlikely that we will escape right now but still possible of course. We need a unified bunch to take the field on Monday. So pleased to see Hamza at the game today. I feel he has led the team and carried himself very well throughout the season.

Win or bust on Monday. Hope we survive but if not we will rebuild.

Hope we can create an intimidating atmosphere on Monday and get a result.

Kidderminster made us pay for a slow start and after their early goal they had complete control of a game which lacked urgency, pace and quality.
Hemmings issued an early warning sign when the game was just two minutes old but Mason was equal to the effort.
After a settled period Cartwright had the opportunity to drive with the ball at the home defence but his shot was easily saved by Palmer.
Then a ball forward found Richards who crossed for Hemmings who then powered the ball past Mason with a good header but he was unmarked.
The stop start opening 45 was full of niggles and knocks for both teams, Johnston and Hutchinson both went down for us at different stages.
Our best spell of the half came around the 30 minute mark when we won a couple of corners, the first resulted in a shot being blocked by Mbeka and the second came to nothing.
It was soon 2-0 and slack defending from a corner was costly as Bajrami had all the time in the world to pick his spot before slotting past Mason to double his side's advantage.
Hutchinson went down again and had to be replaced before the break with an injury, Ollie Brown came on in his place.
The second half continued in a similar pattern to the first and it was effectively game over just eight minutes in.
A clearance struck a hand, according to the referee, in the box and the hosts had a penalty. It looked soft but Hemmings didn't care, 3-0.
Then up the other end Ekpolo put in a brilliant cross which just needed a touch from Stones but he couldn't connect and the ball flashed across the face of Palmer's goal.
Our best moment of football came after 67 minutes when Stones and Johnston linked up before the latter saw his shot well saved by Palmer.
That was that.
It pretty much means we have to win our final two games to give us any chance of remaining in the Vanarama National League North next season.
Starting tomorrow when Spennymoor Town come to Nethermoor.
Come on Guiseley!
