[Exile on Spencer St]

Guys, don't confuse a condensed three minutes of 'highlights' with the whole match. There were 90 other minutes of play that weren't considered a highlight.
If, when I was leaving the ground, someone had told me that was a 20 shot performance from Stanley I'd have questioned their sanity.
Don't get me wrong, Stanley were, on balance, the better team and created more chances than their hosts, but that performance was quite some way off the same game last season.
Maybe sitting at the back of the stand prevented Professor Coleman from getting instructions to the bench but, by about the hour mark, certainly by 70 minutes, Stanley were crying out for someone who knows where to be to get a shot at goal and/or, having got the chance, knows how to convert it. Given he's only here until the New Year, I was surprised the Fletch didn't come on for Gornell who, as ever, ran his heart out but was struggling both with a ref, who unfairly penalised his every challenge, and staying on his feet.
By the way, as regards the latter problem, Gornell was not alone in slipping and sliding. I wonder if it was because the Crawley pitch is half plastic? Do the slippers that players wear these days not grip as well on semi-artificial surfaces?
