County 1 York City 2

County entertained York at Edgeley Park on Saturday. The weather was superb, my lads usual chocolate bar had been successfully substituted for sweets with the slogan ‘Chase the rainbow’. Which is how I feel as a County fan right now. Each match comes along, and like chasing the rainbow you never get to the pot of Gold. More often County leaves you with a murky feeling these days.

Played 13. Won 2.

3753 came to watch. A healthy 680 from York.

No goals at half time. On chap called Blair scored for York just after half time and just before the end Walker added their second. In injury time Paton headed a consolation goal but many of the County faithful were already on Castle Street or Mercian Way or lifting their first pint of Robbies.

If I am super-optimistic we could well have made it 1-1 and who knows whether York would have gone into their shells at that point? Like Fleetwood last week, York are a decent side and you feel they will be up there at the end of the season.

County though, well, I think we do have a decent enough side in there but why do they look lethargic for long spells. Where is the fire from Didi? Or McStay. Rockets up bottoms …. does that happen in the dressing room at half-times any more ?

Maybe things will click but I still think we are light up front. I have just read that Walker who got York’s second goal is now on 10 for the season. If we had that sort of player how many draws would have become wins? Someone said that York only had two attempts on target. Not sure if that is strictly true but I cant recall Glennon struggling to cope for much of the game.

Could not find my rose-tinted specs for this match report. The defence looked shaky. We still do not look clinical in front of goal. From where I sit in the Main Stand Didi looks too relaxed.

Do not fancy our chances on Thursday at Cambridge (on TV – Premier Sports)

I have tried to be positive writing these last few articles but it is a bit more tricky than I had anticipated.

Feel free to comment with more upbeat statements below!

A&F folks.
