From the Harrogate forum....seems a fair assessment
It worked out the opposite really. Altrincham came flying out the blocks and were ahead in the first five minutes through an absolute screamer that Veiga could have reached in my opinion. I was not convinced with Veiga the whole game, he seemed to be a bit shaky and got several of his kicks wrong.
We then got back into the game with some brilliant passing and movement on and off the ball. After the first quarter of an hour, it was all Harrogate and we had several chances to level, but didnt take the opportunities.
Second half, Harrogate came flying out the blocks and were level due to a Chib Chilaka screamer, giving the Altrincham goalie no chance. We then let Alrincham get back into the game and establish a foothold and they regained the lead with about 15 minutes to go.
That was the way it remained. A 2-1 defeat. Alhough we were defeated, I was very pleased with several elements of the performance, and certainly did not deserve to leave that game empty handed.
The majority of the team performed really well, and it was just one of those nights. We really need to bounce back against BPA on Saturday. It is still early days, but the signs look very promising for the club this season.
