Todays game
A good, exciting game today, which started like the Darlington game with Stanley dominating, then falling behind to a soft goal due to ball watching by all the defence. Rochdale gave their good support plenty to shout about after that but Stanley should have won it on good chances created. Rommy blasted one in which was agonisingly cleared off the line before Mullin's disallowed "winner", presumably offside, although I thought the ball was cut back to him? Mangan was terrific when he came on and surely must start on Friday with Boco away on international duty. I would also play Proctor in place of Jay Harris and find room for our most classy defender, Phil Edwards. Gary Roberts hasn't really clicked yet in this league, and I think we'll fly when he finally gets into gear. Superb penalty from him, though, which needed to be good to beat their huge, dominant goalie who would surely have got to it had he guessed the right way for a less than perfectly hit one.
Who's going to handle 4 goal Jamie Forrester at Lincoln??
