Stanley's second goal was bizarre with their goalie slicing the ball backwards leaving Bobby Grant with a tap in.

Good to see Darren Kempson looking dominant composed and tidy in the first half.

Gary King took his goal well with the Halifax fans baying that his run was offside.

Was hoping to see Billy Kee and R Langley and the goalie who played at Burscough cos I haven't great hopes of Alan Martin signing. Does anyone know why they did not feature?

Phil Edwards gave them no change in the second half. I remember one goal saving interception in particular.

I too was expecting to see the keeper who played at Burscough, perhaps travel was an issue as he lives in the south ?? The lad from Leicester doesn't join us until the 1st of August, so it will be straight in at Rotherham???. The other name you mentioned dosn't ring any bells with me, BUT I'm not the close to the team!! Off the field things are my main area!!!

Good to see so many familiar faces at Halifax, sorry couldn't spend more time chatting, so many things needed doing!!

Kempson didn't look too fit to me, but Joyce looked like he could play a bit. Some nice touches and passing play. Second half was poorer than the first and I still see us being totally dependent on Mullin up front.

One thing I am certain of after today, we need to sign a first choice 'keeper.

Yes i agree.. I think that dunbavin is an ok bench warmer but he is definitely not a first choice keeper!

The squad is coming together. I think after singing a good goalie the next step would be a goal scorer that can play off mullin- hopefully Kee will fulfill this role

I disagree.

First half was the usual route-one stuff with Paul M.
The ball was 30ft in the air for most of the time.

Second half was far more fluent play by Stanley, ball played low across the field, far more attractive.
Finally, Cav had had enough of the messing around and decided to show the part-timers how it's done.
Picked up the ball, told the forwards where to go, two passes. Goal. Halifax fans shocked. That's the way to do it.

Mr T told me outside the ground that Kempson had literally come straight to Halifax - obviously he has not benefitted from the boot camp like the others.

Paul Mullin was a threat that Halifax could not ignore but for me he did not have one of his better halves. I thought King was always the more likely to score - as he did.

I was very impressed with Joyce.
