I think the general standard of the NL is fantastic for a 5th tier league, but games like today illustrate why we so desperately need to get out of it. Halifax were one of the worst, but so many teams this season have put 9, 10, or even 11 players behind the ball, even when they’ve gone behind.

I’m not saying they should just turn up and let us do want we want, but every team in the EFL would have given it a go at 1-0 down. Even so, we should have scored more than 1 goal today, we weren’t good enough in their box.
