Richard Agar is looking to put things right in the Knights camp after a sloppy second half yesterday cost them their final match of the regular National League Two season.

A repeat of the indiscipline shown by the Knights in the last 40 minutes at Chorley could prove costly as they enter the play-offs for a coveted National League One place.

Knights head coach Agar will now be hoping to make the most of a blank weekend while the play-off series gets under way for the other four National League Two sides.

He said: "We have had 30-odd games this season so we won't be looking for another one, but we will be training as normal.

"We have tossed one or two ideas around the coaching staff to approach some things differently and we will need to look at putting one or two things right from today."

The head coach said: "Both sides played some terrific rugby, but from York's point of view I'm disappointed that we had the game won but we snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.

"I thought it was a superb game of rugby, a really tremendous and entertaining game - especially for the conditions.

"But we slipped up on some criminal decision-making and sloppy passes."

Agar denied the link between Danny Brough's sin-binning on the hour mark and the subsequent almost collapse in the final 20 minutes.

"It possibly had an effect," he said. "But we had plenty of chances to make up for it and there were a lot of errors from our point of view.

"At times, the players have gone away from what we asked them to do.

"But you can't really blame any particular players for those two tries - especially if you look at the build up and the fact we had given a stupid penalty away just before that.

"We also threw a couple of ridiculous passes that should never have been attempted so, on balance, the yellow card has had no real bearing on the overall result."

Agar closed with a few words for Chorley on their last game after announcing their closure on Friday morning.

He said: "It's been an emotional week for them but they played with plenty of character and heart and it's a bit of a relief that neither side had more to play for.

"In a way, I'm quite happy for Mark Lee that they won. He's very emotional at the moment and, as York fans can testify, it's always sad to see a club go out of existence like that."
