We saw the best and worst of Stanley today - great attacking pressure and spirit, but then our age old fault of panicky defensive play when teams put us under pressure. We just couldn't keep possession well enough in the second half to build from the back, relying instead on "anywhere will do" with the result we were a bit fortunate to see the game out. I think we really, really need to work on this aspect of our play if we are to manage enough wins to survive in this league. It's going to be a hairy ride!
Thought Rab had his best game for us today, and Jeffers was much improved from Tuesday.

Not really convinced about this Red...whilst not claiming to know the ins and outs of the Goalies Handbook, he appears to me to find himself in the wrong place at critical moments in a game which makes claiming the ball a difficult proposition. From my seat this appeared to be the case with Barnet's first goal...
I totally agree with your 'Hairy Ride' conclusion..but we both know that if you are a Stanley Fan that this comes with the package !...we pay our fare, take the ride,and for some strange reason derive the utmost pleasure from the experience !
