Great result, and a really decent performance. In the first half Stanley were much the better side; in the second there was the inevitable barrage at one end and a string of breakaways at the other, but we definitely deserved to win. Symes could have had four or five on another day. We had the ball in the net late on, couldn't see who but might have been McConville, but given offside. Jimmy Ryan had a great game - his one that hit the post in the first half was a volley or half-volley from outside the box & was a really good effort. He should have scored late on as well though.

TBH it was more nervewracking than it needed to be in the last 20 mins because if any one of about 6 clear chances had been converted that would have put the whole thing to bed. defence was great though and Boozer didn't have that much to do.

Congratulations all the team & everyone who was there making the usual noise nonstop. Ilyas was on the terrace in front of me having a bit of a sing & giving the liner a bit of grief every now & then.
