Just back from the game. It was a typical game of two halves, they could have been out of sight by half time. They had at least 4 or 5 occasions when a player broke through and headed in on goal. Thwarted by either the linesmans flag or the magnificent Bettinelli. He is a real find, we need to keep him. His save in the first minute was not only the turning point for the game, but more importantly our season. Had we gone behind early again, I could have easily seen us getting thumped 3 or 4.

Second half seemed like a different game, as though JB sent em out saying "they have had their chances, let get at them" from the whistle it was Stanley on the front foot and pushing them back. We had what I thought was a stonewall penalty midway through the half, but the liner bottled it. This result, albeit a point, will hopefully send a massive burst of confidence through the team and this will show on Friday night.

Summing up, I reckon this is the first time I have watched Stanley in the last couple of seasons where not one player had a bad game. The back five were rock solid.

Onwards and upwards - we will play a lot worse than this and get all the points.

One Happy Stanley Fan Tonight.
