I was glad to come away from the Your Co-op Community Stadium this afternoon with a point after a 1-1 draw with Stockport. It was a scrappy start to the game, but then we went ahead after good work by Turner set up the goal. A defensive error allowed the visitors to equalise before half time.
Southport came at us in the second and won corner after corner. Another outstanding save by Weaver ensured we got at least a point.
Far too much hoofball, play it on the ground.
I discuss my recent book on football for an American podcast, Leamington does get a mention at the beginning: http://www.eplpod.com/?p=3409
Brakes went 4th in the National League North after beating York City 2-0 this evening at the Your Co-op Community Stadium in front of 675. The early opening goal by Turner was particularly good and Brakes were 2-0 ahead at the break.
The Minstermen piled on the pressure in the second half, but Brakes stood firm and the visitors failed to take their chances. Weaver was on top form and made one really outstanding save.
The Harbury Lane end sang 'You're getting sacked in the morning'' at the end of the game and that could well happen although York have a habit of sacking managers after a game at Curzon Ashton where they go on Saturday.
York have the second highest budget in the league.
Courtney Baker-Richardson made it two in two for Newport County on Saturday. He made a fierce drive into the top of the corner from the edge of the area. The EFL show said it could well be goal of the day.
