• "I do have to question why we had 4/5 players sat in the stands and out of the squad completley when they could have been rotated in today, considering how tired we were".
  • "We would have benefitted from playing more fringe players"
  • "Tiredness I guess could also be the cause of the bookings"
  • "Game too far today some tired legs out there"
  • "just risking injury for MFT playing when he’s so clearly shattered. "
  • "the decision to play Tomlinson and MFT in 4 consecutive full games in a week has had an effect".
  • "we were a bit lacklustre, which I think we can probably put down to fatigue"
  • "Credit to the National League too in forcing us to play 4 times in a week, ending in a 600+ mile trip today. It only took the team 9 hours to get down yesterday"

This game was for the most part a borefest, as said, Halifax offered absolutely nothing at all in the game, apart from a very late rally, TUFC were in complete control of the game, had the majority of the possession, but as normal, little or no quality from us in the game, but as said above, it was the result that was important.

Think the result changes nothing in terms of whether we can escape the drop. For whatever reason Halifax didn't turn up, and offered us a guilt edged chance not just to win the game, but win by a confidence boosting comfortable margin, however for 99.99 % of the game, we didn't look like scoring.

If we're to win the last 3 games, our team have to do better, they simply do not inspire me with any confidence what so ever.

For those that missed or do not understand TORQUAY 1-0 Halifax. We won the game gained 3 points gave ourselves hope....
What I would have given for some games this season where it could have been the worst game in the world but we actually would have won or even drew.
I will take the Hartlepool game being worse game of football ever seen in the history of football if it allows to take 3 points!
