I thought we started well and the tactic of keeping the ball and drawing them out, whilst creating space up field gave us control of the game early on and created a few half chances. We lost our way mid way first half because the ball was given away cheaply in the main by JMD and Harrogate did the same to us, controlled passing at the back. It meant they got control of the game and started to create chances, which fortunately they didn't convert. Yes second half we had a bit more purpose and energy which ultimately meant we ran out deserved winners but don't forget the other team can't score when they haven't got the ball

I agree. If there is no forward pass on we keep possession rather than trying to force a pass that isn't there, or, as you say, hoof it.
