[Pendle Red]

Firstly the sending off yesterday was shameful a 50/50 ball and never a sending off don't like to see that sort of thing in game neither the business with the corner flag.

Got to stop shooting ourselves in the foot I was expecting gusto from the kick off but that came from Dale 2-0 within the first 13 minutes left us a mountain to climb however when we pulled one back (we were in line and it was offside so we do get decisions from officials as well as the sending off) we started to turn the screw and the end of the first off probably came at the wrong time for Stanley.

Being down to ten men should have given Stanley the chance to stretch them but we struggled to break them down once or twice going close but they probably looked the more dangerous on the break.

Yesterday really was three points missed the only thing that is going for us at the moment is we are not yet cut adrift at the bottom because it is harder and harder to see where a win is coming from.
