FC Halifax Town: Liam King column

We take a lot more positives than negatives from September. We finished the month well.

We’ve had three wins on the bounce now.

We had an off night at Gainsborough, which we had a lot of criticism about. But that was fair to be honest because it was a bad performance.

But we’ve kicked on since then, got ourselves together and let’s hope the form continues.

I think you saw in the first 10 minutes on Saturday that we started really well.

We’re still gelling as a team but there has to be more gears from us for us to be up there.

It’s a tight league. Top and bottom are miles away from each other this year and a result can take you right into the play-offs.

I think we need to be in the play-off places soon. We’ve got a massive game at Gloucester on Saturday and let’s hope we get a result there.

More to come

It was tough for me when I first came in because I didn’t move for five weeks. I didn’t do any training.

It was like starting pre-season all over again and I hardly moved in the game at Telford.

But I thought I did all right on Saturday. I feel there’s more to come from me.

I’ve scored two goals but I’d like to take my chances better than I have been doing.

But I think that’s a bit of rustiness on my part.

Competition has hotted up

I think the Conference North is a tougher division this season. There’s a massive divide between top and bottom.

There’s a lot of teams who can have a chance of going up this year and it’s unlucky it’s fallen like that.

Salford, Darlington, Fylde - they’re all pushing for the same thing as us. We’ve just got to hope we’re up there at the end.

It’s not going to be a walk in the park this league, as we’ve seen already.

It’s a long season, we’re eighth at the minute, but let’s hope we get up there soon,
