Re: Irons Match Thread

Despite predicting a draw, this was a game Stanley could have won by half-time, such was our domination in the first 45 minutes.
The Iron looked as rusty as the Tin Man from the Wizard of Oz. Unfortunately, our Kee free attack was even rustier.
Zanzala was given the privilege of leading the attack for a full 90 minutes. Here was his moment in the spotlight, his chance to shine.
Instead he gave an outstanding performance - as 'The Invisible Man'.
If Kayden Jackson was a white shark, deadly in attack, then Zanzala looked like a basking shark. Slow, lumbering & toothless.
Mid way through the second half the Iron sharpened up their act & began to boss the game.
From being in total control, the inevitable result of not taking your chances came back to bite us on the bum when, on 80 minutes Scunny pulled off daylight robbery by scoring.
Two minutes later, Conneely pulled out a 'get out of jail' card & showed our forwards how to do it by smashing in a vital equaliser.
Never been so relieved before to actually win a point.
Hurry back Billy Boy!
