FC Halifax Thoughts and Predictions

Halifax have surprised most with their great start but it’s very early days to be proclaiming the season is either over or won.

Personally, I still think our midfield isn’t working as it should for 90 minutes, and this is where we must improve most.

Wxm 2 Shaymen 0

5,000ish for a more entertaining game.

For a mid week game 5,000 would be great after the 2 away games.
Its a do not lose game.

We've already pissed 5 points up the wall....Should have been 9 from 9.

As early in the season as it is ,it feels like anything less than 3 points could result in this miserable run continuing for some time so this is a big game.

We've really got to stop throwing games away in the last 10 mins as it's turning into an epidemic

We can't keep a clean sheet to save our lives but as long as everyone is happy with the more attacking style eh

I am, much more exciting and gets my twenty quid. No-one goes to a game to watch a 0-0.

No need to fear them, despite their 3 wins...we are at home and they won’t be relishing it.
Stick Mac in for Grant and rip into them... 2-0 and back on track... Hooper and Harris... 5021.

We’ve tried the defensive method for a few seasons now.
It worked Some Of The Time, it got us thereabouts, like last season, but as soon as we got to the play offs there was no extra in our locker, no goals.
You have to gun your way out of this League, it’s been proven every season to be the case.
We’re better off playing entertaining football, and encouraging the players to attack, we are going to need bags of goals to stand any chance of promotion.
Sorry to disagree, but that’s just my opinion. Cheers. COYR.

It's your perogative to disagree but I think there's a balance to be had and we've not got it right yet.

We're shipping goals left right and centre.Needing to score 3 to win a game means we won't win many.

We were a half decent striker from romping the league last year but we're at risk of leaving ourselves a mountain to climb if we're not careful.Poor defences don't win championships.It's a balance.

Yeah I've loved seeing us ship 3 goals in the last few minutes of the last 2 games resulting in 5 points down the drain.

I hope not besides Carrington has done ok.
2-1 win I think.
