Halloween has now passed. The nightmare is over. The skies are clear once again and everything is rosy on Goredale. For now.
After a hellish start to the season it seems things are startingto take something of an upward turn on the pitch.
Trick-or-treaters from Silsden to Alsager took full advantage as our lads lost their first seven games. It was quite a feat.
Another nine defeats were punctuated with a solitary win at home to Nelson. On three occasions we shipped four goals in a single game. At home.
The spirits were definitely angry with us for some reason. Did a stray ball land end up being booted next door into Gorton Cemetery by mistake? Did it dislodge a gravestoneperhaps?
Whatever happened it’s a good job that Gibbo swapped his tactics board for a Ouija board to shoo the bad vibes away as the last five results make much happier reading.
Three wins and a couple of draws is quite a turn around for a club that two months ago couldn’t find the back of the net.
The fight for Premier League survival starts here and, as the zombies from Bacup appear to have been even sleepier at the back than us, we stand more than a fighting chance of staying up.
As a footnote, the winners against Barnoldswick and WestDidsbury were bagged by new boys Sam FREAKES and Chris HALLOWS.
Tell me that’s not a coincidence.
