Its not rocket science. For the first time this season, the manager selects 2 strikers from the start that scored over 50 golas between them last season, and guess what happens

Scott was not being played because he had illness or something so has had to be gradually introduced. It bodes well having both Langstaff and Scott starting games if they can continue their impressive partnership that they had at Gateshead.

It's early days but Langstaff looks like the best poacher we've had in a decade since Ooooosey!

FT 4-1, as bad as Halifax may have been you can't argue with that.

Must admit it looks very promising at this stage, all we must do now is sort our weak underbelly out ,

Definitely. I can almost guarantee Luke Williams will be disappointed that we conceded the goal and rightly so and so will the players in fairness. It's clear we've got the goals in us what we don't want is the defence to be soft and undo that hard work. In our first couple of seasons we were really good defensively.

The clean sheet and the 1-0 win afterall is what wins titles.

Possibly better, because Hughesy was approaching the end of his career and not gaining value, whereas Langstaff's value will be rocketing.

Great win this. Halifax clearly aren't the team they were under Pete Wild, but a win by that margin away from home is always good, and the Langstaff/Scott combination seems to be up and running.

From a financial point of view we may well gain more
But its a strong stetch to say in footballing terms Langstaff is better than Hughes,
