First time watching Stanley for six years, don't know the players but one thing which stood out a mile was the way Stanley used the long high ball 90% of the time, you can't control a ball in the air you simply move it on which gives the opposition all the time in the world to cover you. Where are the players who move the ball around on the ground? The "footballers" who control the game, Stanley are, unfortunately sadly lacking in this department, they need two or three midfielders who can "run" the game, KEEP control, today Stanley looked a poor second.
