The Shaymen pulled off an unbelievable comeback last night when 10-man Town came back from two goals down to beat Notts County 3-2 at the Shay. ย
Attacker Jordan Slew scored FC Halifax Townโs first goal in the game and spoke to Shaymen TV after the final whistle. Firstly, the summer signing gave his thoughts on the match; โThat was absolutely incredible,โ he said. โIt was tough when Tom Bradbury got sent off because you donโt think about winning at that point but wow, Iโm actually lost for words. This was one of the most incredible games Iโve been involved in โ we went down to ten men at 2-0 down with ten minutes to go, and somehow won 3-2 โ thatโs incredible.โ
When Jordanโs strike hit the back of the net, there was a massive roar in the Shay Stadium which was followed by an even louder chorus of Slewโs surname being screamed around the terraces and stands. โIt was a great feeling to score,โ โBut I just thought we need to go get the ball and get a draw out of the game. But the boys were fantastic, from back to front.โ
There was a little anti-climax after Jordanโs goal, as the attacker was subbed off straight away. However, Slew gave an overview of the scenes on the bench when the next two Shaymen goals went in. โAs soon as Billy Waters scored, I jumped for absolute joy,โ he began by saying. โThen when Matty Warburton scored, the atmosphere was electric โ what a game!โ
Before Jordan joined the Shaymen, he was part of a successful Morecambe side last season which clinched promotion from League Two to League One โ which was the clubโs first-ever move into the third tier of English football. Albeit a highlight, there was one low light, and that was having the fans absent at games.
Therefore, Slew spoke about the importance of having fans in the stadiums and his thoughts on the Town supporters who were in full voice against Notts County. โPlaying football without fans wasnโt hard for just me and Morecambe, but for everyone around the world,โ he explained. โA game like this today wouldnโt have had the same juice without the fans, and they were fantastic. Of course, we know the fans arenโt supposed to jump over the fence, but them doing that at the end is what football is all about โ you canโt help your emotions and thatโs why we all love football.โ
