[Exile on Spencer St]

Sitting next to Revived Red again and we clearly watched the same game. Good summary.
Shocking and unnecessary lunge from Brown but, from the first 20 minutes, even with 11 men I'm not sure Stanley would have had an easy afternoon. As it was, it was made more difficult but the 10 men were magnificent in their defence.
Rodik was again excellent and made a couple of brilliant saves. The subs were both timely and very effective. With a bit more time on the field Husin showed some nice touches and clearly has a lot of skill and energy. In Brown's absence he may flourish. And Donacien really made a difference. Rodgers had been having a really frantic time down in our right back area but Donacien came on to take up the left back role and allowed 'Man Mountain' Pearson to help nullify their threat down the left wing. In the middle Messrs Hughes and Beckles had a big lumbering No.9 to contend with but they saw him subbed (maybe the cows needed milking early), and then had to handle the more experienced Akpo, which they did.
Also have to mention Billy Kee's 'one-man army' up front. Yet again he got no leeway from the ref but he never stopped battling.
Great point but it'll be up and at 'em again on Tuesday night.
