2-1 Final knew it would be a hard match hoped fer a point though.

Damn,blast & set bloody fire to it! Sounded a good game but just couldn't do enough - safe journey home to the hardy Stanley fans who made the trek.
Just gotta bounce back against our friends next week

Dropped to 5th - thanks Morecambe! Couldn't just hold out against Mansfield could you

Their keeper MOTM and rightly so gives some indication of the chances we created. That said, thought Crawley did a job on us, shackled Sean Mc, didn't give Billy any space either, Kayden was the only one up front to really give them problems. Probably deserved a point but they worked hard to stop us playing and also expertly wasted time. Some very frustrated Stanley players by the end. The lads put a full shift in, so no complaints from me. A filthy day down here as well, hardly conducive to flowing football.

As ever, a spot-on summary from Mr.Whalley. Teams were well matched and both tried to play an attractive passing game, but conditions didn't always help.
Other than luck and an outstanding performance from their keeper, I thought the difference was one or two Crawley players being a bit stronger on and off the ball, their midfielders seeming to have more options and, consequently, Crawley reacting a bit more quickly when they had the ball.
I thought the relative lack of pace from Messrs Hughes and Brown was exploited to Crawley's advantage on a few occasions, not least their second goal which was the only goal of the three that could not be described as pure fluke.
Overall, though, a good performance from the Stanley squad and one that should have warranted a point - if only life and football was fair.

Horrible weather on the day, made worse by the 25 minute walk from the station.

Though Donacien was awful, his passing was woeful and his decision making was a good few seconds slower than the other players on the pitch.

Likewise, billy kee was poor and should have been taken off.

i am still not convinced by Brown, especially when he plays alongside Nolan

Mcconville did nothing of note, but they did constantly double up on him.

Jackson and Richards-Everton played well,

l,

It was 10 minutes on the bus that stopped right outside the ground and over the road from the station (every 10 mins) Worth the £2.50 to save a drenching.

A draw was the least Stanley deserved but hey ho you get games like that.

The No. 10 bus leaves from the bus station across the road from the railway station, and stops at the ground.
