Why no keeper on the bench??

I don't think we have put Taylor on the bench for a while, Dave.

I know and I just don't understand it. Just seems so unprofessional to me.

I agree - unless the manager knows that one of the selected squad is also pretty able between the sticks.

[A.B.]

0-0 at half time. Sounds a bloody awful game.

[Matty]

Brought us down to their level so far.

[Dalton Bluebird]

Sounds like a hangover from last weeks fiasco, I couldn't face another 90 minutes of that.

That was a really tough game. They came for a point and very nearly got it. Credit to the lads for staying calm and always taking the ball forward looking for the breakthrough. We are not going to see free flowing stuff at Holker Street as teams are coming here to stifle the game and try and catch us on the break, which they very nearly did when one got through one on one- he tried to loft the ball over McMillan instead of driving it low and he put it just over the bar. Sigh of relief there. I'm pleased with the response after last Saturday- these hard fought wins show we have the mettle for these sort of games. Once again Andy Burns was in the battles again today- never seen him shirk a challenge and he has the heart of lion that lad. Well played lads. Keep chalking up these wins.
