Re: Southport
 

The Ultras are about 20 feet from the press box - it's going to be a loud evening!

Re: Southport
 

Stanley formation - 4-2-3-1

The back four is add you'd expect, with Procter and Barnett holding midfield, with Putterill, Ryan and McConville supporting Boulding.

The Ultras have been silenced by a large man with "senior steward" written on his fluorescent jacket. It's a family forum, so I'll stick to the word Jobsworth...

Re: Southport
 

6: Stanley lead through a hysterical own goal.

Boulding's shot is spilled by the keeper and inexplicably Earl Davis rifles the ball into the corner of his own net. I'm hoping to get a copy of the video...

0-1 Stanley

Re: Southport
 

Cheer Dan, how you doing....fantastic to have you around giving us a lifeline to the match, looking forward to the new season. Can I ask; will 2br be providing any coverage for us stay-a-ways?

Re: Southport
 

12: Cisak is tested by a shot from Southport's Tony Gray

Re: Southport
 

Nice.....On, Stanley On! :D

Re: Southport
 

14: Cisak spills a cross from the right - less than confidence inspiring...

Re: Southport
 

Doug, 2BR will not be providing commentary to FM listeners. That's not to say that with a bit of luck and a trailing wind there won't be coverage on other platforms... ;-)

Re: Southport
 

15: McConville shot held by Dickinson

Re: Southport
 

24: Rory Boulding chases a lost cause and appears to pull up injured...

Re: Southport
 

Dan What position doe's Charlie arnett play?

Re: Southport
 

26: Boulding OFF Parkinson ON

Re: Southport
 

Hi Dan is Jukes amongst the subs

Re: Southport
 

Could be out tomorrow then ;)

Re: Southport
 

31: Parkinson snapshot is held by the keeper

Tommy, Barnett is playing a holding midfield role alongside Procter

Re: Southport
 

There are NO subs listed, but obviously we have some. As I understand it, Jukes will not be signing...

I've been wrong before though!

Re: Southport
 

Thanks Dan

Re: Southport
 

37: Penalty to Stanley
McConville brought down in the box - Edwards sends the keeper the wrong way
0-2 Stanley

Re: Southport
 

Com on you Reds,Thats if we are playing in Red

Re: Southport
 

was he offered?

Re: Southport
 

It's half time and Stanley hold a comfortable 2-0 lead

Re: Southport
 

I'm loving the Q and A element to this evening...

1) Stanley are indeed in red tonight
2) I don't think Jukes was offered a contract, though I don't know that for sure. What's certain is that Coley has only mentioned Bateson, Putterill, Parkinson and Boulding as trialists who've agreed terms

In terms of the game, Stanley have looked very comfortably since being gifted the lead. This 4-2-3-1 continues to look promising, with Jimmy Ryan in particular benefitting from a great deal of freedom...

Re: Southport
 

cheers Dan and another q is our friend mr williams playing for scouseport?

Re: Southport
 

Sorry Dan about the Questions, But we do appreciate your on line commentary.

Re: Southport
 

We're back - Bav is on for Cisak

Re: Southport
 

Tommy - the questions are welcomed. I hate talking to myself on these things!

Nige, Mr. Williams is not in the team or on the bench. Though the Ultras gave a burst of his song at the start of the game just in case he's within earshot...

Re: Southport
 

53: Triple substitution for Stanley
McConville, Barnett and Putterill off, Murphy, Turner and Joyce on

Re: Southport
 

Gone very quiet Dan nothing happening?

Re: Southport
 

60: Michael Hall on for Dean Winnard

Re: Southport
 

Correction - Hall for Procter

And yep, it's pretty quiet!

Re: Southport
 

Press box update - Adam Cottier's here. And he's still a massive jessie...

Re: Southport
 

HI Adam

Re: Southport
 

Three random trialists on. No info as yet...

Winnard, Bateson and Ryan off

Re: Southport
 

Adam Who?

Re: Southport
 

We're playing trialist Google bingo here - trying to get identification!

Re: Southport
 

Doug Adam used to work for Radio Lancs, in fact he still does some commentary work for them

Re: Southport
 

What are we playing against Dan, are Southport fielding a strong team or are they a bunch of nowhere men…

Re: Southport
 

Sorry Tommy; I was taking the pee....... :)

Re: Southport
 

77: Southport 1 Stanley 2
A cross in from the right is misjudged by Ian Dunbavin, and sub Chris Lever heads it in despite a good effort from Phil Edwards to clear the ball off the line

Re: Southport
 

The opinion on the Southport team from those who know is that the team is decent...

Re: Southport
 

81: great play by parkinson, who skins a defender before bursting into the box and unleashing a left foot shot which is parried by the keeper...

Re: Southport
 

that's a familiar phrase "misjudged by ian dunbavin"!!!!!!!!

Re: Southport
 

keep the updates coming dan, your a credit to the club.

Re: Southport
 

And one we will probably hear more of througout the season

Re: Southport
 

Peter Murphy's just "been replaced" after a bit of Accy Aggro... didn't look too bad to me, but the Southport players were not happy.

Full time
1-2 Stanley

Re: Southport
 

any idea on the trialists?

Re: Southport
 

Thanks Dan keep up the good work

Re: Southport
 

That's all folks - will try to update you on the outstanding issues before the night is through...

Re: Southport
 

cheers Dan much appreciated

Re: Southport
 

Thanks for the updates Dan, much appreciated

Re: Southport
 

Friends
Rory Boulding has a thigh injury - and Craig Lindfield is injured too - Coley says he'll definitely need another striker regardless.

The trialists remain a little unclear - I'll listen back to Coley and let you all know the details.

Short report is on the fishy

Dan

Re: Southport
 

Cheers For your updates dan :)

Re: Southport
 

A tidy performance last night. Stanley played some lovely controlled passing football, Unlike Southport who are probably the most route one team i've ever seen.

The Stanley 1st goal was a real "youtube" moment, although i doubt it will ever get that opportunity. The defender who "smashed" the ball into the roof of his own net will never connect with a ball any better in the rest of his career.

After the 2nd goal Stanley really looked a confident outfit and following on from Saturday at Northwich i'm optimistic for the comming season.

Southport only really came into the game after Stanley had made 9 substitutions, all those that came on looked capable, it's just that so many changes upset the flow a little. Good win though. Nice tidy ground Haig Avenue as well.

Re: Southport
 

Typical Dunbavin. Cross comes in, Dunbvin screams "KEEPERS" and then gets nowhere near it.

Re: Southport
 

negativity not like you that jeffrey. season hasnt even started yet get a grip man

Re: Southport
 

It's Dunbavin that should be getting a grip (with the ball)
