I have to agree with what everyone has said. Proud once again to be a Stanley fan.

I agree especially with Cashy. The contest between S.M. and Fabio was one of the great football mismatches of all time. Fabio almost destroyed us single-handed in the first half. Far too often the Don was left with two players to mark. The switch of full backs in the second half did help.

Cashy is especially right about the lack of running into space. I travelled back most of the way with a Boro fan. He was very impressed by Stanley but commented on the short passing game which he thought was ok in itself but rarely led to anything positive - because of the lack of someone running into space to receive the out ball.

Our man of the match was surely Rodak.
