still not convinced with the 3-5-2 at home.
leaves to many questions and to many holes down the flanks.

i couldnt see the pen decision clearly from the FES.

Stanley where a differnet team in each half tonight.
1st half roberts looked poor and wasnt sure who to mark and proctor was out of sorts in the middle. Dont get me wrong, we played some great stuff after Macc had settled down, but we lacked a quality final ball. Mullin and dsane where not being found.
We where lucky not to go in behind, our high line defending left macc with plenty of space for their pacey players to get in behind.

Second half, alot better. More positive play. The final ball was better, the play was more penetrative and the players where hungry to score.
Macc couldnt handle us when it went 2-0.
And them we sat back for some reason? Stanleys best form of defence is attack.
The idea for the 3rd goal caught Macc by suprise. Well done roscoe.

I though John Miles worked alot harder tonight than he ever has in a Stanley shirt. His performance was a 6/10 and he influenced little, but he put in more work which is what we want to see.

Part of me feels sorry for Leyton who IMO deserved his start for his great goal on Sunday.

Nice to see Boco come on.

BTW, i had 4 witton albion fans with me along with another 2 liverpool fans who have been before; the witton lads where amazed by the atmosphere. They where seriously considering taking up Stanley as a second team on the way home.

bring on high flying Barnet.
