Four league games in and four points on the ¼lb Burger £2.10 board. That may have been acceptable in previous years when we were aiming to stabilise the club but it is not acceptable now. We have aspirations far beyond that and if the players Giant Hotdog £2.10 can't match that then they will unfortunately be moved on to seek football elsewhere. After a Chip Butty £1.90 superb display at Silsden it was a case of everything that could go wrong - did, in our next Tray of Chips £1.30 match against Grimsby. I wasn't pleased with the performance but let the lads off as a one- SUNDRIES off, as these things can happen and it certainly wasn't due to lack of effort, playing Chocolate Bars £0.80 86minutes with 10 men. Wednesday night at Winterton we looked to get back on track with a win, but what I saw was potentially the most spineless, pitiful performance from a HOT DRINKS Thackley side during my four years in charge. We know the specific area we have to Tea £1.10 strengthen, and we set up to protect that on Wednesday with a view to ensuring we kept a Coffee £1.20 clean sheet. One goal down after 29 seconds and three nil down at half time was a disgrace and strong words were said after the game. I will accept that we may not win every week but Bovril £1.30 I will not accept a lack of application to go and challenge and fight and protect the reputation Soup £1.30 of this football club. There are some people who are extremely fortunate to be in the squad Hot Chocolate £1.30 today and they are here purely as we have no one else, with 21 players unavailable for this COLD DRINKS game. As a manager it's frustrating to not have people you want available for selection and Can of Pop £1.00 we will have to tweak things to accommodate this, however, it's all part of managing a club at this level and highlights the need for a large squad. Needless to say I am expecting one Water £0.90 hell of a reaction today as it really is last chance saloon for some players which is unfortunate as they're a great bunch, but there's no time for sentiment in football and my job is to put a team out that can get the job done. I'll see what certain players are made of this THACKLEY AWAY KIT SPONSORS afternoon and won't be shy of making changes early if necessary. 4-0 is the largest defeat I've witnessed in my four years and the staff and I will endeavour to ensure that never Priestley Joinery offers all happens again and if that means we have to freshen the squad up and move people on aspects of joinery then so be it. I have no room for inconsistencies now and look forward to seeing the reaction today. Enjoy the game. PM. covering commercial Our captain Paul Whiteley reflects on events of the week: The two games since the last report and since the Silsden game have not been good at all. subcontracting works to Grimsby I felt could have been different if it hadn't been for the sending off 3 minutes into domestic home the game. I thought he was unlucky to go but the ref made a decision which set a tone for the rest of the game he had. He was so inconsistent with everything he did I felt he ruined improvements the game. We gave it a good go in the first half but I think we spent our energy in the first E: half trying to compete. They managed the game well in the 2nd half and ultimately we can't complain about the result. [email protected] Wednesday again we were ridiculously slow to get out the blocks and they scored from our kick off 1 minute into the game. It's not good enough from us and we made ourselves have Please contact Carl Priestley to chase the game for the next 89 minutes. I thought they came out really quick and were better all over the park. We can't argue with the result, they played well and we played M: 07989 473356 poorly. We will now see Saturday if we can pick ourselves up and get back to the levels of the Silsden victory. Garforth will be a tough game, I've never played in an easy game against them and we have to be on it particularly defensively. By defensively I mean all over the park and having the body on the line attitude to make sure we don't concede.

We extend a warm Thackley welcome to the players, officials and Match award from Thackley supporters of Garforth and wish them a safe and comfortable journey to and from Chairman Ben Oliver is Lewis Thackley. Waddington. Thackley faced an For the fourth consecutive Saturday, Thackley have a home game, their opponents this uphill battle from a very early stage weekend are Garforth Town. As Garforth Miners, they were one of the founder members when they were reduced to ten of the NCEL but did not make it to the Premier Division until 1998. They won promotion men. This placed pressure on the forwards for the extra running required. Lewis to the Northern Premier League in 2007, returning to the NCEL in 2013. Thus, the two clubs are no strangers to each other and there have been a few memorable games impressed with his energetic and committed performance. between them. Garforth have fared better in the latest encounters, winning both their home games in the two curtailed seasons. The Dennyfield games both falling foul of the covid cancellations. Like Thackley, Garforth have played five competitive games this season. Shildon knocked them out of the FA Cup and in the league they have accumulated seven points from their four games. Victories against Maltby Main (current table toppers) and Albion Sports, together with a draw at Emley have given them those points. Their first league defeat came on Wednesday night when they lost at Handsworth by the odd goal in five. What about Thackley, their inconsistency is quite unbelievable, not just from game to game but from period to period within games? Two goals down against Goole, they came back to go two in front, only to let that lead slip. Two up against Wythenshawe at the break, they succumbed to three second half goals. An excellent all round performance at Silsden was followed by a below par display against Grimsby last weekend but there were excuses for that.
