Last time I saw Frickley play was a 4-4 draw at Worcester City about 25 years ago and City scored 3 in the last 2 minutes to snatch the draw.

Going to watch Chorleigh at Curzon tonight, should be interesting.

Think you got your money's worth at that one

Don't knock your performance. Buxton did the double over us last season and are tough to beat. They usually finish just below the play-offs so that's a good marker for where you are at after the first game in a newer league.
How did Si Garner play?

Glad I didn't get there later anyroad...it was 2-1 to Chorley after 4 minutes!! Very impressive attacking performance from Chorley, and Shelton Payne looks class, but I still think they won't have it their own way once the pitches start to cut up and teams realise they just need to put five in midfield to stifle them.

0-0 draw at Frickley, Halifax played poor in the first half, took a while to get used to playing on the side of a hill.

2nd half we improved a lot, brought on a couple of players, had 3 or 4 one on ones with the keeper and didnt make the keeper work that often with them which is criminal.

we tend to create enough chances to win 3 or 4 games we just dont take enuogh of them.

the only difference between sides this season and last season is the teams are a bit more organised. our keeper was mainly a spectator ronight as he was for large parts of last season.

we have made the transition up a league pretty well i think, 4 points from 6, the signs are there once the new players have settled in more, plus we still have our top scorer from last season out injured and the best player in our team is still injured as well. the best midfeilder in the league that is Scott Phelan them 2 players will add a lot when they return to the side.

Without a doubt, and I think it's completely justified to be quite honest - can't even imagine what would possess a club to allow Evans or any of his cronies to take control.

Garner, well he again showed his versatility in this game, he played at Left back to start with then when we were pushing on for a winner in the last 15 minutes, he took up more of an attacking role.

he is still beding into the new team, has shown some good potential so far.

his versatility will defonately be an advantage to us during the cold winter months where injuries will be a problem
