Harrogate preview: Looking to bounce back from consecutive defeats
Harrogate Town began their sixth consecutive season in the Football League on a positive note, going unbeaten in their opening four fixtures with two wins and two draws.
However, momentum has stalled in recent weeks, following a 2-1 defeat to Chesterfield and a 2-0 setback against Bromley.
Sitting 14th with eight points from six matches, the Sulphurites will be eager to halt their losing run against struggling opposition.

Last five matches
- Bromley 2-0 Harrogate

Crawley Preview: Seeking inspiration to jumpstart campaign
Crawley have endured a tough start to the season, collecting just two points from their opening six league fixtures.
Scott Lindsey’s side remain winless, with recent setbacks including a 2-0 home defeat to Tranmere and a 2-2 draw at Chesterfield.
Defensive frailties have been costly, conceding 13 goals so far, and they will be desperate to find a spark against Harrogate.
Predicted lineup: Davies (GK), Barker, Conroy, Flint, McKirdy, Brown, Williams, Scott, Adeyemo, Holohan & Tshimang
Last five matches
- Chesterfield 2-2 Crawley
- Crawley 0-2 Tranmere
- Crawley 1-1 MK Dons
- Crewe 1-0 Crawley
- Swansea 3-1 Crawley
Player to watch: Stephen Duke-McKenna
Stephen Duke-McKenna has been a bright spark for Harrogate this season, offering both creativity and end product from midfield.
The 25-year-old has already chipped in with three goals in six appearances, and he has an increasing influence in front of goal. His most recent strike came against Chesterfield, and his ability to arrive late in attacking positions makes him a constant danger.
