Re: Todays game

Greys played some excellent football above anything else they had the drive and the passion to push home every opportunity laid open to them and there was little shortage of opportunity thanks to our poor defending, a fair and justified victory for the Greys and long may they continue to play some good quality football.

Robbie Elliott was obviously distracted by his condition, but showed his quality in doing his utmost to stop shot after shot (get this lad signed up, Todd an all)….Those that got through where down to pure crappy defending by the rest of the lads, they where no where near enough to be effective, time an time again they failed to give Robbie Elliott the support he needed at the crucial moments. This was more disappointing for me in view of his obvious discomfort.

Greys played to the ball at every opportunity, when we had possession and posed a threat they had two or three men closing us down, when they threatened us there was little to distract them let alone close them. We could learn some good lesions about passion and drive by watching this game back a few times and seeing how little we did not only to secure the win, but also to pull it back.

Before people get upset, Accrington Stanley is probably the best team the Conference as seen in the last few years and without the slightest doubt deserves to be 13 points ahead and with a little more passion will be secure for promotion by Scarborough, but today they played some bloody good football at times but where nowhere near good enough to win…..Five games left. Go out and win every one of them.
