Great performance by all of the Stanley players used today!!!
I thought that the set up of the starting eleven looked really well balanced and we seemed to fill every square inch of the pitch early on. Burnley could not cope with Josh Windass who has enhanced his reputaion further with a super performance against players from a higher level.
I agree with earlier posters that Crooks was superb!........He could be Stanleys version of "Ja Ja".......Big and strong in midfield.........covered lots of ground.........tackled well.........his passing was excellent and incisive....... and........he SCORED TWO GOALS!!
It was great to see that we now have some height in our back four but also that the bigger lads have some skill too.
Burnley had more possession from twenty minutes up to seventy minutes but I was particularly pleased to see us finishing the game with strength and on the front foot. We deserved the fourth goal which capped a marvellous display and a fully deserved win for the boys in RED.
Well done to John, Jimmy and the players. This should give them all confidence as the real matches get closer!
