Not sure how you can read too negatively into that to be honest - on a night most of us would have preferred to have called off, we got a useful workout against a strong side and I felt we really held our own.

Whilst their two goals were harsh on us, we obviously didn't take our own big chance and I suspect, as suggested, they'd have found the win anyway.

Last half hour played out like a training drill which I think suited both teams, it looks as if everyone came through fine, although Sinclair looked sore when he came off.

I thought Linney and Sinclair were bright, direct and positive - I thought Osborne was OK and we've done the Pringle thing to death, he's nowhere near as effective as a starter - and the two full backs were pretty solid. Eddy improves with every game, and it was Harry Perritt's best game by a mile since returning to us.

Josh Lundstram's performance won't have gone unnoticed from them, unfortunately - he was his absolute imperious best, what a joy he is to watch.


Play like that and we beat Halifax on Saturday.

Well, I profoundly hope that your confidence is well-founded, however I confess that I don't quite share your degree of faith.

In our last two matches, we have mustered a total of merely two shots on target - both of which have been from the penalty spot.

Plus our chief attacking threat is cup-tied.

At the start of the season - and again in January - many on this forum asked 'where are the goals coming from?'

We're the joint 6th highest scorers in the league.

I have faith.

We will play twice as good and lose.....not a spectacle and as the Cult said to me....scored with our only shot on target
