WHAT A SUPERB TEAM PERFORMANCE BY STANLEY TONIGHT!!!
Every STANLEY player tonight deserves praise.....
A team performance full of honest endeavor, good passing football and full of attacking forward play and resolute defence.
A clean sheet too! A superbly taken goal by Josh Windass from a fast flowing move from the left with an excellent first time shot into the bottom right hand corner!!!!
Stanley played a higher defensive line like they did against Oxford with Procky, Josh, Luke and Anthony Barry in particular pressing forward all the time.
Beginning to think that it is a bit of 'Coley Genius' to play our two best wingers at 'Wing Back'. Both Pierro and Cal defended superbly, timing tackles and interceptions so well and still tearing forward down the wings and creating some excellent attacking play. Cal overlapped on one of my favourite passages of play by getting to the goal line and he pulled the ball back in towards the penalty spot. Burton were very lucky to scramble that one away.
Terry defended from the front working tirelessy to put defenders off when coming out with the ball.
Our players hard work, chasing everything and harrassing them all over the pitch throughout the 94 minutes, stopped Burton from getting into their stride. Tactics spot on tonight Coley and Jimmy.
The ref was doing his best in the last fifteen minutes to help Burton get back into the match but we held out superbly.
The defensive arrangement around Deano, Rob and Seamus is probably the best positional set up for these boys. Seamus got done for pace at right back on friday and he is better at centre back where I think he is cool and rarely wastes a pass. Deano has the pace at Right Back and Rob is just so 'Steady Eddie'. Rob had his bad match on friday when he just seemed to misdirect every pass. Tonight he was a rock and produced an excellent all round performance.
Scott in the goals will be chuffed with a clean sheet against the league leaders and he was strong again tonight and 'captained' the defence well.
I ALSO THOUGHT THAT THE FANS PLAYED THEIR PART TONIGHT AND THE SINGING FOR THE LAST FIFTEEN MINUTES CERTAINLY HELPED TO KEEP THE TEAM GOING.
Typical STANLEY eh...lose to the next bottom team and then beat the League Leaders.
Three excellent points tonight.
WELL DONE STANLEY
I AM ONE PROUD STANLEY FAN TONIGHT

ON STANLEY ON
