Halifax (H) Match Thread

Quoted from Knut Anders Fosters Voles

Hurst can be negative / cautious.

But on this occasion we have continued to play well since conceding so no need to completely change the system too early.

Still needed Bell in there with Taylor for more than three minutes ffs

Halifax fan here who was at the game. That goal was the least you deserved. Can tell you just don’t have much luck at the moment. We were a bit unbalanced today within our back line and I think it messed up with our style of play today. You should be up there after todays performance.

We are happy to take two draws from yourselves and chesterfield away. But to be winning both games with 90mins almost up in both games is a bit of a sickener.

Hope that performance for you brings a load of fans over for the away fixture.

Ring rusty first 10, then fully deserved  3 pts. Keep that up and add the right goal scoring game changers, we won't be far away.

Thought he'd gone back to Sweden with Ludvig 🥳

I agree that Hurst often changes the system or makes substitutions too late.

However, on this occasion, we were dominating possession, territory and were still creating chances. There was no need to change the system until the (very) latter stages as we were still playing well.

Many on here wanted Bell on for Fox with over 30 mins left, against the team second in the league. Fine if we were 2-0 down or playing poorly but an early sub and change in system could have damaged momentum.

Match stats according to Sports Mole. Felt even more one-sided than that, but if accurate it’s the shots on target stat that needs work.

If nothing else it reaffirms that a defeat would have been a travesty; especially given that two of their shots were in the same move that led to their goal. Do we not train keepers to palm the ball sideways?

There’s only one stat that matters:





Unrequired comedy stepovers:
Grimsby (Pearson ‘83) 1-0 Halifax

I take 'umber bridge at the assertion that it was unrequired, element of surprise and all that. Remember him doing similat against Plymouth whilst on a marauding run before getting in a quality cross with his left foot. Lovely stuff.

Great performance, shame the ref was so inconsistent, i mean, Shaun Pearson ought to go into the Halifax dressing room and give the defender his shirt as he's been wanting his shirt all game at set pieces.

Maybe we should really be congratulating the Halifax defender as he obviously knows how far to push the rules and get away with it, how many people on here keep saying we need to be more street wise.
