[Pendle Red]

A very good game, Stanley were worth their half-time lead, playing some nice free flowing football. Marking & pressing for the Rotherham goal was the stuff of schoolboy's with backing off & backing off but a good finish never the less.

The game then became a see-saw affair with Stanley just lacking that killer punch with Symes in particular trying to take extra touches in and around the area and ending up looking like "Bambi on Ice" as Rotherham pressed forward a good run from Winnard a good pass for Ryan to steer it in from inside the box.

Which is probably no more than Stanley desreved for their endevour going forward, what was good to see was a tactical sustitution with Miles off and Flynn on to shore things up at the back and at last defending high up the pitch that was really pleasing.

A massive result and a workmanlike performance from the Reds
