In the midst of the doom and gloom, was there any positives?

For me(all about opinions)
Mckeown, and the Pearson Boyce pairing were excellent, both Hatton and Thomas were good with the addition of Cook and Neilson, other than that the Tonk showed effort but thats it

Scott Neilson staying on the pitch for another whole game
Only conceding to a wonder strike
No-one getting sent off in a game where there were loads of yellows

1) Until they scored I felt like we were the better side (and just seemed to run out of ideas in the last half hour)...
2) IF the corners were a little more challenging we'd have won on another night, seemed to get lots of set pieces...
3) They'll not score goals like that very often
4) I'd be more than confident playing them in the playoffs (assuming crowd is behind the players) - over 2 legs with a fit 11 I'd be surprised if we didn't come out on top

1) Keeping Gregory quiet.

After that I'm struggling and would be scraping the barrel with any suggestions. Pearson and Boyce did ok defensively but were awful with their distribution. I thought Tounkara was doing ok and should've been left on really.

Nice one.  Wish I'd thought of all that.

We've learned a lot more about Halifax than they're learnt about us. Particularly there's no point trying to play long against them. If we get them in the play offs we have a massive point to prove and the players have no excuse to not be as fired up as they were for Scunthorpe and Huddersfield. If they're not then they will be gone in the summer.

If we play them again we have several gears to step up (we better have anyway)I doubt they do.

We missed LJL, Jennings and Rodman. This left us with very few attacking options on the bench.

Yep, I'd be surprised if we didn't come out on top if we played Halifax in the play offs considering we've only lost 5-0 on aggregate, are playing poorly, and can't seem to put the ball in the back of the net.

Didn't stop a Cheltenham side beating us at Cardiff after we'd beaten them twice comprehensively

Nothing suggests if we do play Halifax again that we cannot despatch them...all it needs is Rodman to do to them what they did to us last night and maybe they'd collapse

Exactly, and the way Wrexham smashed Kiddi home and away in the semi after being thrashed by they at home in a league match a couple of weeks before the end of last season.

Play off games are a cup tie. And we have played some of our best stuff in cup ties this season, against far better sides than Halifax.

Genuinely thought we were better last night & on another day we might be talking about a 1-0 win (from Tonkura's one on one) & how well we'd done stopping them from looking at all threatening despite them having the best goalscorer in the league - I guess I'm a 'glass half full' person....
