Re: Reserves Tonight

Ashley's boys got beat 4-0 tonight. First half was very even, with Stanley carving some decent chances out, whilst Preston hit the woodwork. Second half and it seemed to be going Stanley's way when a penalty was awarded, somewhat harshly, for handball. Unfortunately, the PNE keeper will never have an easier save to make, as Stanley virtually passed the ball to him from the spot.

This galvanised PNE who then took the lead. They doubled their advantage from the spot, Ellliot unable to repeat his Blackpool heroics and going the wrong way. 2 more lapses allowed Preston 2 more goals, although to their credit Stanley never gave up. In particular a over-head kick from the number 10 came close to being a stunning consolation for the Reds.

All in all, a good work out for the lads. Though shooting practice may be required as shots on target were few and far between (mainly free-kicks).

PS: Brett got a standing ovation from a decent sized crowd. More late kick-offs please Stanley?
