Jesus H Christ.

Thank God that's over.

Nevertheless - very good result from "Away" specialists and stats say we had more shots on target.

Well done Alty

Think we'd have all taken that before KO today, just so disappointing when you have a 2-0 lead.

Good point, first time York have come to us and not won apparently, so can't complain.

Still a good new years run, 2 wins, a draw and a loss.

"neither side will be happy with a point"

Oh yes we are - letting in two goals in two minutes withy 20 odd minutes to go but we didn't collapse and held on for a point.  A significant improvement on earlier in the season.

7 points from 12 this year is a good effort.

Well done Alty!

Col "steered in" his first goal - it wasn't flukey after all!

Looks like only Farsley of our rivals get a point - Droylesden & Vics thrashed!

Good point BA.   Obviously disappointed that we let in 2 in 2 mins after being 2 up...but like you say, with 20 some minutes still to go you'd have thought we'd have probably ended up losing.   Certainly I think we would have before Christmas, so got to be happy with the point, we'd have all taken a draw at 3PM.

Kiddie late goal v Farsley - we are the only team in the bottom 5 to get a point.

Good result all round

Oh yes, last minute pen for Kiddy, you couldn't write the script.

That really helps with the disappointment of letting the 2 goal lead slip..we stay out of the relly zone.

York had hatfuls of chances to win it but couldn't get it on target. Once they'd scored it was like they got a real shot of adrenaline and pressed on. Both goals they got looked they they found huge gaps to go through. On a heavy pitch it's not surprising Alty legs got tired. Cahill going off injured early looked like it might be bad as he had been holding up the ball beautifully but Colin Little got the goals so it didn't matter. We had the measure of them until they go the first goal but fitness told in the end. And fortunately York's missed chances. We get a point, everyone around us doesnt. Good result.

Great result and one I would have snatched your hand off for prior to kickoff. However, given that their first goal gave them the "shot of adrenalin" to press forward and go for the win, it makes the nature of that goal all the more disappointing.

However, we've come out of today's fixtures better off so I'm definitely not complaining.

365 Agree

Stu will not be happy with the first, he had time to come and collect the ball!

Well done lads, keep going.

Up to that point the defence hadn't made a single mistake. All I could see from the other end was Stuart rushing to the side of the penalty area for a ball he never got to. When it came over the York man was totally unmarked. In fact their goals looked very similar to the two we got against Kidderminster.

As the ball was played through the ball was a good 30m in front of the players, Stu should have collected at the edge of the area.

A real pity, as others have stated they looked ordinary until then.

Couldn't complain with the point today.  Gutted we threw it away, but the difference really started to show at 60 minutes.  Grinded out the point in the end, and the spirit once again shown by the lads on the back foot, you can't fault it.  Well done lads
