One year before the 78 Trophy win that kick-started 5 years of joy we got knocked out in the semi finals of The Trophy in similarly heart-breaking fashion - and for me the start of the glory years was 77 and the glorious trophy run where we came within a whisker of getting to Wembley.

We are at the same point now in our gradual resurgence - because make no mistake we are on a major upward trajectory and yesterday's loss is part of that - so we can lick our wounds and rue the what ifs and wallow in recriminations and conflicting narratives about why we lost, or we can roll our sleeves up, and have a bloody good go for the rest of the season, and set ourselves up for the new season.

Perhaps all we need is to sign an scarily psychopathic midfield general to bring the ruthless killer touch to our game that is what we need to kick on to success!!!

You can be if you are Harrogate.
