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.

Unfortunately couldn't be there today sounds like we were the better side even though it's only a friendly we know John wants to win everything, the trialist you mentioned supposed to be signing on a permanent deal this week. Looking like as long as nobody leaves this is probably the strongest squad assembled ever at Stanley with big lads in there and young good lads eager for a starting point, looking hopefully as well as not relying on too many loaners.
