[Exile on Spencer St]

Really enjoyable day, thought Stanley more than matched their Championship opponents. First half was pretty even, without too many clear cut chances. But what I really enjoyed was the way the young lads who came on in the second half really had a go at Preston. They were eager for the ball, chased down everything and put Preston under pressure for the last fifteen or so minutes. Very impressed with Tommy Leigh - he won every header and his long throw-ins caused havoc. Also the ‘trialist’ on the left wing, who laid on the goal, was excellent.
Well done to the lot of them.
