Re: Stevanage

Twelve months too late, but better late than never.
Great performance from the entire Stanley squad this evening, especially in the second half. Satanage are not the (complete) bunch of thugs they were under Westley and had some good attacking players, who needed looking after in the first half. Thought they just shaded the first 45, although it was Stanley who actually had the best chances in that half.
Second half, Stanley were in control for lengthy periods and the match became a real end-to-end encounter. McCartan, rightly, won the first penalty and Billy dispatched it with aplomb, and it seemed to knock some of the stuffing out of Stevenage. The second goal was also well worked by McCartan who cut it back for Kee to sweep it in. Shortly after that there was a decisive, full stretch save from Rodak that, had it gone in, would have made for frantic final five minutes. As it was, the ref, rather generously I thought from first sight, gave the second penalty in the dying minutes and it was both a well deserved win, and sweet revenge for all the Stanley faithful.
Great end to another barmy season.
