Andy Sarratt

@JamieJCooke19 All the best Jamie, thanks for everything you did for the cup. The winner in the FA Trophy final showed what you are all about and the fans wherever you play will love you for that graft. That plus the 30 yard screamer live long in the memory

💙 thanks for everything shaymen 💙

@HxCourierTom I’m with you there Tom. My X profile picture is from that day. My team at Wembley was never something I thought possible and emotional moments as the team walked out. To go back a second time just as incredible. How many teams have a perfect record at Wembley?

Is it really ten years ago today? Time flies when you're having fun. Probably my favourite day covering FC Halifax Town. Can still remember the feeling of awe getting to my seat at Wembley for the first time and looking round the place. Just a brilliant day.

@HxCourierTom That’s all very interesting Tom, but who will be on the bus? Any white smoke appeared over The Shay?

Here is how many miles FC Halifax Town will travel in the National League next season: halifaxcourier.co.uk/sport/football…

@rollingmaulpod That’s our house!

Oooooh hook it into my veins!!! We put over 40 on Saints and I honestly think the scoreline flatters them. That was as close to a total display as we’ve had all season. And what a time to do it. I’m going to enjoy reading your 3 word reviews…👇

@ThomasFeaheny @shaymenfans What!!

Adam Lakeland has left FC Halifax Town to become Morecambe's new manager on a 3 year deal

@HxCourierTom Clearly more plusses than minuses. Much for the whole group of coaches and players to be proud of. Congratulations to them all. Now time to look to next season. The club’s business model is to find unknown players, develop them and sell for a fee. Who stays and who goes?

"Throughout the season, we've gone from strength-to-strength" Season has been incredibly positive, says Lakeland on first campaign in charge: halifaxcourier.co.uk/sport/football…

@shaymenfans @FCHTOnline Fully agree. To rebuild and bed in a new squad and coaching team on the limited budget available and finish on the fringe of the play offs is a great effort. Hopefully can take the next step in 12 months. Come on you Shaymen!

Under normal circumstances a clean sheet & a point at Yeovil would be a good result, looks like possibly an 8th place finish meaning just one place outside the playoffs 👍🏼 Technically Southend just need one point from there last 4 games (3 away & 1 home) Great first season from Lakeland & the boys 2 games to go on a season where we can build on for 26/27 💙⚽️

⏰ Full Time | The points are shared. 🧤 0-0 🟢 #Shaymen | AL

@FromLe2 What a performance!! Particularly impressed by the second half. Game was effectively over at half time, so to come out and score five more shows a strong mentality

Boom! What a win! First bit of silverware for Geoff, hopefully not the last!! Special team, special club. BUZZING!!

@HxCourierTom Hi Tom, what impact does the demise of the Panthers have on the sale and on the football club? Presumably the RL were picking up some of the stadium costs? If so, will the football now have to pay those? Andy

Calderdale Council expects Shay sale to be completed "later this year": halifaxcourier.co.uk/sport/football…

@rollingmaulpod Ray of Sunbemond

Morning team! Hope we’ve all dried off from last night for those who ventured out! Let’s hear your three word reviews from a good win for the boys 🙌

@OffTheLineBlog @shaymenfans @adamlakeland Agreed. Not a name I knew beforehand but he has got the team playing well consistently. Well done to him and his coaching team and to the team for paying attention!

So impressed with @adamlakeland. I feel #FCHT have a gem of a coach. A hugely impressive coaching display. Largely lower league players or those new to FT, yet gets results. JTC, Hugill, Mills - U21. Hmami, Harris, Crowe, Kawa - Step 2 Warburton - Step 4 📈He will go far.

@FromLe2 This weekend’s PREM games are massive. Top four play each other which gives Bristol and Saracens a chance to join the party as they play the bottom two. Loser of Sale v Quins will need an unlikely miracle to make the playoffs. Not decisive but clear water for top six to the rest.

Tracking nicely so far. Very impressive given the number of new players & a new HC to boot. Next up Exeter, at Sandy Park, over Christmas. We’ve seen this movie before & it’s normally a horror. Would be nice to put that right & really attack the higher positions.

@rollingmaulpod Radders: James who?

Given the experience and quality of the two sides, particularly the disparity in benches, that is a hell of a gutsy display from the boys, considering all the injuries. Feels criminal to come away with nothing. 3 word reviews below: 👇

@RugbyTigers Alarm set

🍿?

@rollingmaulpod Everyone a gladiator Nicky Smith legend Searled and Delivered

Sorry for the delay guys, Elliott and I have been indisposed/sleeping - how about that for a win?! And all hail Billy Searle’s balls!! Three word reviews below 👇

@FromLe2 Low quality encounter to be honest. Should not grumble beating Sarries 4 tries to 1, but too many errors for fluency. Sarries didn’t score for 75 mins so positives from defensive effort

Scratchy first half but that’s 75 minutes in keeping them out, despite playing against a completely useless referee and leaving 11 points on the table. That’s a good result tbh, plus Geoff again has a better idea of the players he’s got at his disposal. Positive afternoon imo.

@RestIsFootball @GaryLineker Well done to the boy Lineker. Obviously it was Shearer’s vote that swung it. Get Ant and Dec on the pod to give him some stick 😂

🙌 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐧 𝐎𝐟 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 🙌 Congrats @GaryLineker 🥳

@FromLe2 Agree there was a lot to be encouraged about, especially in the back play. Thought Bailey showed good distribution skills and was impressive off the tee.

Secondly the conditioning work really stood out with some players. Woodward & Pearson in the backs looked noticeably bigger but suited the gain. Maka at TH is enormous. Nobody at 19 has the right to be that big. He is huge. Can see why they’re going early with him.

Won’t get too carried away given the opposition, but some really promising signs there. Couple of main takeaways - firstly the willingness of last year to move the ball wide has continued. Very pleasing. The backs had some really nice interplay & they all impressed throughout.

@HxCourierTom Just watched the game on DAZN and would agree with the manager’s assessment. So would Robbie Savage who said Town were better for much of the game and deserved at least a point. Plenty of reasons to stay optimistic

REACTION Town boss Adam Lakeland said he was "massively encouraged" by what he saw from his side in their 2-1 defeat by Forest Green Rovers: halifaxcourier.co.uk/sport/football…

@HxCourierTom Hey Tom how’s the pitch playing? Worth the wait?

Second-half underway Halifax 1-1 Forest Green Rovers and its all to play for All the updates over on the live blog: halifaxcourier.co.uk/sport/football…
