Feels like 3. We deserved a point minimum Efete was the best player on the pitch, thought he was superb. We never gave up, battled, fought and but for a GK error, we’d have 3 points.
Looking forward to next tuesday
Also seen the goal back. Great ball in and header. And brilliant reaction from Paul Hurst

Watched on the box. Thought a point was the absolute minimum deserved. Was a battling display with loads of heart but also a lot more quality. Crowd sounded like they really stuck with them as well and played their part. Much more like earlier in the season the way we moved the ball and worked it in wide areas. Maguire-Drew looks to have a very good left foot and Sousa was better than he has been for a couple of months. With McAtee back and Wright available (fingers crossed) then it suddenly feels like we have a few more options.

Fully deserved a point on that second half performance . The players battled till the very end so anyone who says they dont care is a muppet .It didnt look like we would get the goal we deserved but what a great goal it was - lets hope its a turning point

Battered them 1-1.
Hope Halifax have got the ref a comfy seat for the journey home.

Exactly. We looked to be really blowing after 20 minutes. When you see the likes of Fox and Clifton panting then you know our fitness was rusty. We grew into the game, played some good football and NO DOUBT the players are with PH. Thought Pearson looked commanding and actually set a few attacks going.

Was saying just before we scored that even though it looked like we wouldn't get what we deserved, I really enjoyed the game, which got better the longer it went on. Then we did what we had failed to do for the previous 90 mins, namely two decisive touches where it counts. Fantastic cross and an equally fantastic header.
It was a game of if only for us. Not quite the right pass or cross or shot when in good positions. Two or three headed chances that looked like we only had to get a head on it and it was a goal, but somehow we didn't connect properly, or at all.
Thought the Halifax defence was very good and got some great challenges in at just the right moments. Then they score with just about the only move of the game where they got behind us with an overload. Keeper didn't cover himself in glory, but on another day, the rebound goes to safety and we get away with it.
Think Hurst chose to go with experience, which is understandable given our recent run of results and they all played their part in a very good performance that shows we have the basis of a decent side. Put McAtee in there and bring someone in who can sniff out a goal and we would probably have won that game.
Just need to be a bit more ruthless and we can get back to winning ways.
Nearly never went as I have been ill all Christmas, but so glad I did.

Pearson morphed into Denilson and Beckenbauer’s love child in the last 20 mins. Late in the match, Waterfall mis-hit a square ball to Shaun. I feared the worst. Pearson just cushioned a delicate instep volley over Waters’ head and out to Crookes like he was jogo bonito-ing on Copacabana beach.

Yes saw that with both cheeks clenched. I have to say I thought he was excellent all game.

Well deserved point could and should have been three if we had a decent ref.
