The Shaymen drew 2-2 with top of the league Sutton United yesterday afternoon and Town centre half Tom Bradbury spoke to Shaymen TV after the final whistle.
Bradbury began by giving his views on the 90 minutes as Town led 2-0 but were pulled back to a 2-2; βLooking at it now, that was really frustrating because I thought we did a good job on them and you could see that when we went 2-0 up.
βWe had a game plan and didnβt show them any respect and played well, but for whatever reason we dropped in the second half. To be honest, I just didnβt see them scoring two goals, but we threw our aggression out of the window and conceded two goals β itβs frustrating.β
He added; βAlbeit they are top of the league, but for me today that was two points dropped.β
Tom later tried to pinpoint a certain catalyst on Sutton getting back into the game; βI think we stopped passing, naturally you drop when you have a two-goal lead and try to see the game out. We brought Jake Hyde on and went long when we probably didnβt need to, because in the first half we did well with the ball on the ground. So, I think we went long too early. Once we played it long, Sutton just bombed it back into our area and box and then it was thirty minutes of just defending.β
Bradbury then gave a positive outlook on how Halifax managed to go toe-to-toe with top of the league, saying; βDoing well in the first hour breathes confidence for the last thirty minutes but in all honesty, I didnβt really think Sutton looked like a team top of the league.
βBut we will take the point because itβs a point more than what we had at the start of the day β we just need to go and win some more games, and this will look like a good point earned.β
Lastly, the defender looked ahead to the visit of Weymouth which is the next game for the Shaymen β a week on Monday; βItβs a must-win, we thumped them 5-1 at their place, and it wonβt be that easy again, but weβve got to look for a win if we want to be in the top seven. Itβs no disrespect to Weymouth but teams like that we need to face them and do the business.β
