What Comes Next?

York City will look to build on this momentum as they face Rochdale at home on February 27. The team will need to continue to perform well, especially with Josh Stones still injured. However, with players like Harry Boyes and Alex Newby showing their potential, there is reason to be optimistic about the team's chances.
