SEVEN months and seven days without a win - it almost has a Biblical ring to it. York City's 2-0 victory over Tamworth last night breaks a gloomy run of 21 matches.

This is more like it; this is what the fans want.

After last season's depressing relegation, the Minstermen face a tough year trying to clamber out of the Conference League.

Last night was a great and encouraging start. Perhaps it really can be done.
