In my opinion that was the strongest team we can field and the most effective formation - just goes to show what is possible. If we can get lucky with injuries etc for the rest of the season then we can give all those above us a real run for their money.

Proof the two young centre backs can defend.  Superb smash and grab performance, dare I say something akin to the S'n'H era.
So many people have come and gone, their faces fade as the years go by.
Yet I still recall as I wander on, as clear as the sun in the summer sky.

Newsham's finish was sublime, didn't get a sniff all afternoon but took his one chance with the coolness of a cold blooded assassin.

Brilliant result!

But next week is probably more important, lets beat Alty and get ourselves in the first round draw.

This was no smash and grab, we went with a game plan which worked beautifully and could easily been three nil up had it not been for an unbelievable save from their keeper (although he probably knew little about it ) as Tom Wards shot looked likely to do serious damage to the net.
Picking the outstanding performer was dificult as every single player gave everything though I must give a mention to Jones who not only took his goal well but held up the ball and did not give their defence a minutes peace running himself into the ground closing them down.
Yes there was pressure in the second half although in one magic spell we must have strung 20 passes together denying and frustrating Halifax. Their goal was via a deflection whilst ours were well worked and well taken particularly Newshams who lobbed the keeper from a dificult angle.
I have been critical of Jason in early season but have to say I am won round and feel that he his proving that he can get the best out this squad. I see us having a good season and although I cannot be there next saturday I feel we are well capable of progressing with the conviction we showed today.
Very well done to all.

This was no smash and grab

Smash and Grab is a good thing, Scott n Hurst built a team/promotion on it,  Fergie time is made for it.  The best teams know how to  win when they're up against it.  Today was one of those and for me Lee's biggest win to date.

Oxo- you like my others wrote JL off after the four defeats on the trot, for me we were desperately unlucky in the two home defeats to Workington and Hinckley and deserved a bare minimum of 2 points from those games. Hopefully our worst spell has been and gone. Let's not get too carried away after victory or down after defeat! Results aside the football has been much pleasent on the eye sine JL dropped himself and Austin at the turn of the year.

I've bunged a set of snaps in a public album on Facebook. Not brilliant as we were stuck in a corner looking straight into the Sun, but there's a few good ones in there.
