Tough day at the office for the lads. Missing a few key players and maybe still shaking off the Halloween cobwebs ๐, but we started strong and held our own in the first half. Massive shoutout to Craig, stepping up between the sticks for the unwell Harvey and keeping us in itโjust 1-0 down at the break.
We came out fighting second half and pulled one back with a bullet header from Lewis Francis ๐ฅโlooked like the momentum might swing our way. But credit to Rossendale, theyโre top of the league for a reason. A couple of quick goals knocked the wind out of us and they took control from there.
Still, proud of the first-half effort. We matched a team on a five-game winning streak and showed real grit. Heads up, regroup, and we go again Sunday ๐ช
