[Pendle Red]

A good result there today, midield were excellent at times roating around and some great interplay and clever use of the ball.

A special mention for Mr. Putterill virtually ran the show for Stanley clever interchanges never gave up on any ball and worked his socks off, McConville also had a good game and took his chances well.

Back four looked in control against a side that broke with numbers Hessey has slotted in superbly alongside the Tan Man reads the game well and does the easy no nonsense stuff you would expect from a consumate pro.

Still look a little lightweight up top and we started to play through that at times but we will come up against trickier sides than Macc and it would be nice to have that as an extra option in the locker.

But a superb result and a great start to the season, I thought the pitch looked okay today certainly better than the opening day fingers crossed a few nice days and we will have a good surface to play some good slick football on against the Toon.
