After the chemical castration that was Saturday's performance, Aspin's men responded with an emphatic win over third-bottom Ossett Albion in the succeeding league match this Tuesday.
The game got off to a yawn as most Town games tend to until, instead of the umpteenth attack this time, the first attack, where Nick Gray strided either side of two Ossett defenders who failed to show pressure and slotted the ball in its rightful place. The game became a little more interesting, and after not too long Gray found the net again, this time deceptively heading it over the goalie's reach from a crossed ball. Effing fantastic! The man hasn't played to well in recent games and Aspin was quoted saying he was entertaining dropping him, but against all likelihoods, the right idea was to keep him in. Soon into the second half, Gray found an open goal in which to place another close-range header. Yeah!
Up to then, Ossett had their own threats. In the meantime before the third killer-offer, Ossett deceived our defense again (still not top-notch) and had a few one-on-ones. Two Hedge collected from the strikers' feet, and three he tipped over well. A good game from the lad. But after this, Ossett lost it and it was Winters' turn to make a convincing mark on the scoresheet, with two credible goals to finish Ossett off to be devastated with a 5–0 loss against one of the tightest Halifax units so far. An absolute top show from the midfield three, Winter, Baker and Phelan, with Baker staying back a bit as he has done so far this season, and Scotty trying to make the scoresheet himself at some points. The games of Dean, Marshall and finally Peers were by no means shockers, just without luck and effective enough.
In all, a great night out and a VERY RUSHED REVIEW BECAUSE I REALISE I'D BEST GET THIS WRITTEN AT LEAST BEFORE WE GIVE PRESCOT CABLES A THUMPING ON OUR HOME TURF TOMORROW.
