Agree with the first statement but not the second. Jamie Devitt had an off day and Bobby Grant was insignificant. Charlie Barnett was excellent and the defence was also good. Another confident performance from Bavs. Difficult to pick Man of the Match for Stanley but I think that Peter Murphy probably deserved it.

The downside without a doubt was the two substitutions. Craney was a woeful choice for the lone striker role. Too short, too one-paced (slow), too awful. Apart from a speculative lob that landed on the roof of the net, his contribution was nil. This was equalled by Micah Evans. The situation seemed ideal for the introduction of Kurtis Guthrie at half time, and surely Will Hatfield would have been a better choice than Micah Evans for the second substitution.

It seems ironic that our depleted defence coped admirably while a powder puff forward display, especially in the second half, made scoring seem unlikely.
