Higson played in the reserves and was 18th man today for first team. Boy weve missed him.

See DJ your already looking on the positive side again!

Its hard I tell you we looked so like we,d given up today.

Its probably just a bad day at the office tomorrow is a new day, wheres the life theres a chance and like I say Id rather be us than Gateshead with 5 games left!

We need to be 6 points in front of them before we play them Steve reck.ons and I agree, as their last game is Donny and ours is Haven

Dont forget about Batley tho, next week they play one another which will make things interesting!

Problem is we are not scoring

Both gateshead and Batley seem capable of scoring

Today we started brightly but reverted back to type after their second try

If by starting brightly you mean giving Barrow a penalty in there first set and completing a set (which I'd be intrigued to see how many we did) then yes, we started brightly.

I did say until their second try

Well the only plus for me was that we weren't nilled!

Oh and they didn't reach 100.

Very good day out spoiled only by a 60min delay on the M6 (which cleared on passing an AA van repairing a car

) and that 5h!t3 wearing OUR colours on the pitch.

I wonder how many Championship One sides would have let so many points in and scored just one themselves? And to be honest our try was the only time we even looked like scoring. In fact we were that bad I never once called the ref

think batley have the hardest run-in

And that was after about 8 minutes, wasn't it?

Seriously we looked as though we'd given up, at 18-0 - I know I had!
