Fully agree with you Lord Stiff Upperlip. Oxford were skilful, slick and quick in all that they did going forward. We were quite fortunate to get the three points tonight. It was indeed an ‘End to end’ affair tonight. The most pleasing element for the Stanley faithful was to see us scoring goals again in free play! Every time we scored and got in front it was just nerve wracking as you could see the inevitability that Oxford would score too. The turning point was our third goal against the run of play made by the superb little fella Smythe and finished as wonderfully by Clarke with a deft header. We still seemed to be lacking combativity in midfield throughout the match but the boys at the back did their utmost to keep the goals against to a minimum.
It was a well attended match for a dank, drizzly Tuesday evening in February and hopefully we can kick on from here and move up the table.
Well done to John, Jimmy and the team and to the great ‘Vocal’ fans again tonight!
