Football pundits often say that the best way to get over a poor performance is to play again soon after and FC Halifax Town have the perfect opportunity to banish Saturday's defeat at Harrogate Railway Athletic from their systems when they travel to Garforth Town on Tuesday evening.

After a run of four successive cup games Jim Vince and his injury ravaged squad return to Unibond League action with a short trip to the east side of Leeds.

The Manager lambasted his players for a poor showing in Saturday's FA Trophy side and has left the Players in no doubt that his is expecting a huge improvement. The players have shown in patches they can perform to a very high level but consistency is still missing.

They face a Garforth side who hit the national headlines a few years ago when they lured Brazilian legend Socrates out of retirement for a brief spell with the Club. Manager Simon Clifford was the man behind this move and he is in charge of a team that lies in 19th place in the division with 2 wins and 7 points from their opening 7 fixtures.

A 4 v 3 win at Mossley, who thumped the Shaymen 3 v 1 recently, shows they are a side who demand respect. Their 2 v 0 win at home to Belper on Saturday in the FA Trophy gives them confidence heading into the Yorkshire derby. But the Shaymen are seeking to recapture their form and record a victory at the Genix Healthcare Stadium.
