Football

Although it's kind of got lost in all the Rendell stuff over the last couple of days, I just wanted to mention what a brilliant result it was at Halifax at the weekend.

I particularly like Big Evil's comments that our goal was a bit "like watching Brazil." While this obviously a bit of an exageration, I think it's fair to say that we've been playing more football in the last few games than we have at any point in the season. Mark Johnson was trying to suggest during his commentary on Saturday's game that this could be down to Willy Wordsworth's influence, and while that may be true, I'd say it's more likely because of the players we have. With skillful figures like Beesley, Farrell, Carden, and (although he's often not given credit for it) McEvilly replacing those whose talents lie in the more, ahem, physical side of the game (hello Mssrs Reed, Brown, and Fortune-West), it's probably not surprising we're knocking the ball around with some panache.

It's also worth noting that after our January wobbles we're now back up to second in the form table. If we can pick up, say, four points from the next two home games, our play off position should be looking pretty secure.
