Garforth Town going in right direction after Tadcaster Albion draw

Garforth Town head coach Graham Nicholas believes his side should have beaten Tadcaster Albion yesterday in the Toolstation NCEL Premier Division.
Tadcaster boss Paul Marshall described his team’s performance as “embarrassing” and added that both sides were “poor”, but Nicholas disagreed with his view.
“It was a scrappy game, but I wouldn’t say it was two poor teams,” he said.
“If he (Paul Marshall) wants to class his team as poor, that is up to him. We’re not a poor team, we’re a very good team who created a lot of chances that just did not go in on the day.
“It was probably a backlash from Tuesday night as we performed really well against Bridlington and the lads gave everything they had. On reflection of that you have to look at the fitness levels and there were one-or-two struggling and carrying injuries.
“The lads gave everything today (against Tadcaster) and some days you get games like that when things don’t go for you. I think we were the better team on the day.
“I am disappointed because it is two points lost.”
But whilst disappointed, Nicholas was pleased to see the Miners record their first clean sheet.
“I said to the boys that it is still a step in the right direction because from a positive, that was our first clean sheet,” he said.
“We looked good defensively and we have got our shape right. I think it helped with Jack Kirk sitting in front of the defence in the first half.
“I think we have become focussed on the defensive side.”
