A superb three points for Stanley against Wigan and fully deserved.
After the horrific start Stanley controlled the game from the goalkeeper to our forwards. As others have noted it was difficult to find a weakness after the first minute! Our defence was pretty solid, midfield today was excellent and the forwards kept the pressure on Wigan’s defence throughout! Savin had a good match after the initial error. Hughes marshalled our defence with assurance and it was great to see Burgess and Nottingham posing so much threat in attack and getting a well deserved goal each. I thought that Rogers and Maguire were very competitive with Rogers winning a lot of brave headers and Maguire was highly mobile and he did so well to last the whole 95 minutes not having played for so long! Central midfield were in total control with Butcher looking like he is over those recent niggling injuries, Morgan finding some pace and almost scoring too. Barclay was dynamic getting up and down between our defence and forwards. Sean had a better time roaming across the high line and his deliveries from free kicks and corners were a real threat throughout the match. Charles was a constant thorn in the side of the Wigan defence and despite constantly being shoved in the back he kept the pressure fully on his opponents. I don’t recall the referee giving us a single free kick for a foul on Charles which was unbelievable! Good for young Perritt to come on too but hope that Rogers isn’t added to our long injury list!
Should give the whole squad a bit more confidence for the coming matches!
ON STANLEY ON.
KEEP THE FAITH.
