Match

Every point is an argument now for Harrogate Town

Position 24 and 18 points, and the table gets read bottom-up in this part of town. The calendar has stopped being a schedule and started being a countdown.

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Taine Anderson

44 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Harrogate Town lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market

Jamie Grimes asks to leave Harrogate Town

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Transfer targets

Medical ends the Thomas Marshall deal

Everything was agreed with Tottenham and then the doctor spoke. Harrogate Town have walked away from a signing on the advice of somebody who never saw him play, which is how it is supposed to work.

Squad

Real improvement from Ivan Vivolo at Harrogate Town

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Ivan Vivolo is 21, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Transfer targets

Jacob Parsons turns down Harrogate Town

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Brighton keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Squad

Words exchanged at Harrogate Town

Dani Ángel and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Transfer targets

Harrogate Town bid $40.0K for Richard Foster

The offer went to Bolton Wanderers this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Squad

Late improvement for Mason Bennett

At 33 the improving is meant to be over, and it is not: 3 points better than a year ago. It happens to the ones who take the boring parts seriously.

In brief

Market

Ellis Taylor puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Harrogate Town, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Real improvement from Miodrag Pivaš at Harrogate Town

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Miodrag Pivaš is 23, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Transfer targets

Jacob Parsons due for a Harrogate Town medical

Everything agreed with Brighton, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Squad

Words exchanged at Harrogate Town

Dani Ángel and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Transfer targets

Harrogate Town rebuffed over Federico Pirruccio

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Wrexham have kept their man, and Harrogate Town go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Boardroom

The numbers do not look good at Harrogate Town

Wages have outrun income and the accountants have started attending meetings they used to send apologies to. Ambition comes second in a season like this.

Squad

Words at Harrogate Town training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Miodrag Pivaš is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Market

Still no ink between Harrogate Town and George Thomson

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Harrogate Town, another week without a signature from George Thomson.
