Tough day at the office for the lads. Missing a few key players and maybe still shaking off the Halloween cobwebs 🎃, 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 it—just 1-0 down at the break.
We came out fighting second half and pulled one back with a bullet header from Lewis Francis 💥—looked like the momentum might swing our way. But credit to Rossendale, they’re 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 💪
POTM (shared): 🧤 Craig – rock solid in goal 🔥 Younis – relentless work rate and class throughout
