Overall, very encouraging. Too many attacks were allowed to fail against the offside trap, though. And it's no good blaming the linesman for all of them. We're used to Mullin being caught - that's the way he plays down the middle - but Roberts was getting caught offside far too often on the left.

I like Roberts, and if he develops a bit more spatial awareness he'll be fine.

Brown will, I think, prove to be exceptional. The most focussed Stanley player I've seen since Gouck.

Good 'keeping by Jones , if unorthodox at times. He kept us in the match.

Andy Mangan is a really exciting prospect, and when he can do a full 90 at Conference level he'll be very special. Already dangerous anywhere near the box.

Flynn, Welch very solid.

I won't dwell on the disappointments, except to say that certain players who were retained have got a lot to do to justify their places.
