Young Smyth was outstanding & deserved to be m.o.m.
Thought the whole team played well, although our weak link was Conneely.
His 'couldn't be bothered' effort in losing a 50/50 ball led directly to their 2nd goal.
Bet Sunderland thought this would be an easy 3 points after our recent form.
Well done lads for showing that no one should underestimate Stanley.
You did us proud!

Milud, I defer to your judgement most of the time...as it is I thought Seamus was great until his booking - given recent sending off events his giving up on the 50-50 had the look of a
fait accomplis (worse than death
) and thought Coley might have played the Scotty card when Smyth scored his superb second off a beautiful weighted ball that I've been waiting for Shauny to perfect for about 9 games now... hopefully will re-energise him. But I thought the booking utterly compromised Seamus's effectiveness...
