Title: Highlights?

Sadly I think this is a fair reflection of how things went

Thanks for this - missed the match (athletics club awards, not drinking session) which on this evidence looks a very wise decision. Whilst allowing for home team bias in the video this does look a pasting - was there a One Way sign on the pitch? I fear this was a truer reflection of where we are than the Blyth games, and a real worry ahead of tomorrow, when we could do without humiliating ourselves, against a better team than Stockport. Basically we have a week to get ourselves sorted out for the first of a series of 4 "must win" games, and 1 win out of 20 and 15 defeats out of 17 doesn't create great optimism that we are about to go on a winning run. I am not sure even Houdini could have got out of this one. I hope I'm wrong.

We got battered and it's a fair reflection of the game, but what it doesn't show is the performance Tom Hannigan put in. He was excellent for the most part and threw himself into loads of challenges. Had a great spirit to him.

"Sam" Hannigan, as he is bewilderingly known on the website stats page, is a shining beacon in a miserable sea of mediocrity. A few thoughts occur:

1. It might be polite to get our best player's name right on our own website.

2. NY signed him (and Sean Miller) which probably only goes to show that if you buy lots of lottery tickets one or two of your numbers will come up.

3. Any miraculous escape is entirely dependent on him staying healthy.

4. I believe he is on a 2-year contract - if so thank goodness for that.

5. It is not a good thing to be so dependent on one player's fitness.

6. Can anyone explain to me why he isn't team captain?

I am ashamed to say I'm glad I didn't go (was working anyway)

And I can't bring myself to watch it now either

Up the reds
