Re: Posh Thread

Another totally solid team performance. Stanley set their stall out with a positive start, got the goal and then pushed for another before Peterborough gradually worked their way back into the game, with Godden very close to a first-half equaliser. Second-half was extremely tight, Godden again missing the best chance when he found some space on the right-hand side of the box before dragging a shot wide. But Stanley always threatened on the break, and occasionally fashioned a chance with decisive moves that shone for their deceptive simplicity, just pass and move sequences, but executed so precisely that they cut Posh wide open.

I agree with Exile that the combination of Barlaser and Finlay adds just that bit of attacking nous, they play with their heads up and with a keen sense for the spaces that Jordan, Billy and Offi can run into. MOTM difficult to call, Ihiekwe was excellent throughout, but I thought Callum did particularly well against some tricky customers - Dembele in the first-half and then Toney in the second.

But to reiterate - this Stanley side is absolutely a collective endeavour. No passengers or superstars, they earn every point as a unit. Very proud of the lads tonight.
