[Pendle Red]

Decent afternoon in the Sun, Crown Pub looking smarter inside, Pumps on behind the Clayton End good stuff.

Thought Rovers fans were amusing with their songs and banter it must be difficult and a bitter pill to swallow watching their side and the well documented things that have gone on.

It was a decent warm up match and gave us the supporters a few glimpses of some of the new signings and things look okay, first half Rovers probably shaded it but the only real stand out was Dunny as for Stanley the back four looked solid, midfield struggled a little bit whilst Carver did well with his hold up play.

Second half brought a few changes and I thought more mobility for Stanley especially in the middle of the park thought the number 20 for Stanley Brian Smikle looked to have a good touch and got his goal whilst Gray looks like he could be a good aquasition.

Very enjoyable afternoon plenty of competition in the middle of the park for places but like Smudgie just need another Keeper and at least another striker as well as Gray.
