YET ANOTHER AMAZING COMEBACK BY THE STANLEY BOYS.
BUT IT IS NOT GOOD FOR THE HEALTH OF THE STANLEY FANS

It was indeed a wonderful comeback to get the three points and the team showed a lot of character in doing so. Overall though it wasn't a great playing performance with the exception of Kayden Jackson who was just ELECTRIC today! His dynamic running, pace, skill and determination were a joy to see and his performance only lacked his name on the score sheet. Defo MOM for me today.
Billy worked hard as usual against their big and strong No 4 and deserved to have his name on the score sheet.
Sean scored the important goal on the stroke of half time which was the real turning point of the match! Once again it was Kayden who won the free kick in a perfect position for Sean to stroke it in with his right foot. It was right in front of us in the Clayton End and Sean found a 12 inch square superbly in the top right hand corner of the goal. No keeper could have saved that one! I am looking forward to seeing that one on the TV tonight! Had it been scored by a current Man City player it would be hailed as a wonder goal and Sean would be worth MILLIONS!
In the first half although we didn't play well we did make plenty of scoring chances, with balls across the face of the goal just needing one of our lads to be in the right position. In the meantime we managed to let Stevenage score two goals the first of which was down to very poor defending on our part and the second which was simply laid on a plate for them by stupidly trying to walk the ball out of defence just one time too many!
Our second half pressure eventually paid off with the result finally going our way Sean played a Captain's role in the second half and Dunne played very strongly at the back in the second half particularly. Hughes was having another poor match until the last fifteen minutes when he finally made his passes count and did some timely interceptions. I think it also made a difference when Sousa came on as he too was threat and his ball skills were delight to see and it also helped us to keep the pressure on their defence.
I couldn't understand the 'resting' of Everton-Richards though and to me I could see a partnership between him and Dunne being worth trying out.
Anyway........Three very important and hard earned points in the end and another three on Tuesday could see us right up their at the haed of the chase for promotion.
ON STANLEY ON
KEEP THE FAITH

PS it's my 66th birthday today and my family are taking me out for a meal.
The Beer and Wine will certainly taste good after the WIN TODAY!
PPS I still think that I am only NINETEEN!
