GH seems to have a lot of faith in him. And he rarely gets these things wrong.

although on those rare occasions it can go horribly wrong for him

70 mins - Coo undoubtedly has pace and maybe that was the thinking in bringing him on up front. He's yet to properly use it yet though.

Halifax have started to play with a bit more purpose and have slung a couple of meaningful balls into the box.

One drew an absolutely sensational save from Coburn, the Alty keeper denying Campbell at point blank range after Killeen had flicked on Torpey's cross.

 An absolute match-winner from England's number one.

Its got to be Mr Flynn doing the messenger updates

Catch them on the break

Meanwhile: "The expected tactical shift has come, however, with Coo switching to left midfield and O'Neill moving up front."

75 mins - Campbell seems to be drawing closer to his hat-trick. Just a couple of minutes after he had a header saved by Coburn, the striker got in behind the defence, drawing his shot narrowly wide of the post.

This is a bit of a shaky spell for the Robins and they just need to see it out.

 Alty just need to get hold of the ball and keep possession to take the pressure off their defence. They're giving the ball away too much in the final third

Praying the fitness holds out !!

Potts on for Little

Colin potts For Colin Little

80 mins - Alty have overcome their jitters somewhat and have enjoyed a bit more of the game over the past five minutes.

Halifax, on the other hand, have huffed and puffed but can't blow the house down. That's mainly due to Tinson and Karl Munroe in the centre of defence but also Lane and, perhaps surprisingly, Aspinall at full back. Playing out of position, Asa has been extremely solid and deserves a lot of credit.

[Darren]

85 mins - Colin Potts has been introduced to give Alty a bit more craft, coming on for Little who appeared to tire during the second half.

I doubt he'll see much of the ball though as Halifax have mounted their final charge. Urged on by the home crowd - and their extremely irritating drum - the Shaymen have held the ball inside their opponents half for a good few minutes and are probing away at the Robins defence. Can they hold out?
