They did not show the goal that did not count. At the grounds the crowd thought it had been scored. It even showed goal on the screen but the ref had blown the whistle before it went in. No idea why. Halifax showed how well they can play in the last 20 minutes. Not sure what they were doing for the first 70. As Cavalry was working out from the back, it was really odd to see our front three take it in turns to rush the defender with the ball, who would pass it to one side or the other while our forward retreated and another one would rush the new ball carrier, who would pass it back to the now free defender, repeat. I would think that all three need to rush at the same time, followed up by a couple of mid-fielders at least to plug the gap and force them to make a more difficult pass through traffic at least. We spent a lot of time defending against 4 or 5 attackers with 7 of our players, leaving a huge gap for their remaining 5 or 6 to overwhelm our three forwards in trying to pick up any loose balls. I really liked the concept of the 3-4-3 but wish we were using our proven ability to pass our way into their end rather than lobbing hail-marys into space. Taking two touches on the ball before passing didn't help us either. It wasn't until we started to one-touch pass that we were able to pass faster than they could take us out. We know they can play well together. Just wish they would do it more often
Halifax actually didn't play all too badly. Defence still needs work, but attack is good right now.
HFX looked better anyway. My congrats for first points this season
Quality header

I KNOW THE SONE OF HFX WONERS COACH
Awesome. Work hard at getting better and some day maybe you can make the team
HIS NAME IS MATTIAS
Not nearly as many fans as usual. 1 point and 2 goals scored in 4 games. Not much to be excited about I guess.
good game, weak refereeing
