Given the weather conditions, I thought most of the players were fantastic tonight - Mully, Craney, Evil, Gerrard and Jaggers in particular. We should have won easily.

I thought Cav had a great game, but wtf was he doing when he pushed their player in the back in the box? The ball was flying over everyone's head!

Having completely dominated the 2nd half, we were now on the back foot just because of one push in the back.

Rocky had a shocker. Their forwards rang rings around him in the first half and then he lunged in with a two-footed tackle in the box. He appeared to catch the ball properly, but you can't jump in with two feet in the box. An automatic (second) yellow card, so he was sent off and they had another penalty.

Coley was furious at his defence on Saturday and he should be again after tonight's performance. Two unbelievable errors of judgement by our defenders cost us the game.

Smithy looked ok, but it is Gerrard that we will really miss.

And as Shurm said, a good number of Stanley supporters were there and once again the home fans were completely outsung. Sounds great when you have a roof!
