Harrogate 5 points from safety. Still 16 games for Gray & co to avoid the drop.
Haven’t seen the game or the highlights - seems like he had a great game, with a fair few saves, until giving away a late clumsy pen for Swindon’s only goal.
Harrogate fans are absolutely livid at their ownership and manager for the situation they find themselves in - owner’s refusing to sack their severely underperforming gaffer as it seems he has personal ties to the owner

Manager - Simon Weaver (Son) Owner/Chairman - Irving Weaver (Father) that might make for some tough sunday roast conversations

Shark, father and son, even more scandalous - that’s on me for not googling!
Gray probably should have come out of his box to try prevent Chesterfield's (in the blue) goal.
But then has his two saves in the highlights the first a top diving effort.
Then a truly bizarre moment where a sideline Chesterfield player about to be subbed on, cops a yellow for kicking the ball away from a Harrogate player seeking to take a quick throw.
The Chesterfield coach seems to then change his mind re which sub he will bring on, and the sideline Chesterfield player cops a 2nd yellow for walking back to the subs bench?? Chesterfield down to 10 men!!
The draw against Bromley was arguably even more impressive (albeit nowhere near as crucial in the relegation battle) as they created the bulk of the chances, playing without fear against a team at the opposite end of the standings. Pity they couldn’t find a winner but things are happening for Harrogate, suddenly.
That’s four games undefeated, double their next best streak this season.
They hadn’t kept a clean sheet since October (23 games ago) and now they’ve kept two in a week. In nine appearances, Henry Gray has an 81.1% save percentage, conceding fewer goals per game than either of the other two keepers used by the club this term (and by a long margin too). He’s been great.
This little burst of form has allowed Harrogate Town to climb above Newport County. Barrow are the next team directly above them and since only two clubs get relegated from League Two that means that’s all they need to muster over the last quarter of the campaign to survive. That difference is now only one point. Crawley Town are also in range a further point beyond.
Harrogate (last) get smacked 4-1 at MK Dons (2nd). Gray in goal. Harrogate did go on an unbeaten 3 game run prior, and are still just one point from safety
