Re: Team -v- Wombles
Pretty mundane from both sides in the first half, good long range shot from Naismith was one highlight, but Wimbledon scoring just before half time was kind of inevitable.
Much, much better second half from Stanley but undone with a bit of bad judgement from Liddle (otherwise played to his usual good standard) delaying his clearance and bad luck that ball broke perfectly for two Wombles to beat Macey.
Not a bad performance from Stanley in general except there was just no real threat in front of goal.
Coleman can't be faulted for the timing of his substitutions, and it was good for Buxton to get what turned out to be the consolation goal.
My MOM (despite my earlier misgivings) was Barry. He looked composed in midfield and played some delightful raking cross field passes. He was also very, very unlucky his curling, but deliberate, shot hit the woodwork in the second half.
On another day Stanley may have earned the draw they deserved but Wimbledon packed the penalty area when needed and thwarted Stanley's attempts, from McCarten especially, to create a genuine chance in the box.
Do either of Akinfenwa's brothers play football, I wonder. What Stanley would do for their very own YFB!
