Showed the red card incident close up on last night's highlights show, their player had also done a similar tackle a bit earlier on Sean so had to go

Was there a case for a penalty on 1:40 when Billy was held back by a defender when making a shot?

Re: Woking
 

First chance I've had to see Stanley this season and was worried for the first 15 minutes. Then thought we began to play like we did last season until the third goal went in at which point we seemed to take our foot off the gas and let them back into it. Impressed with Jordan Clark but felt he got awful service in the first half and we needed to get the ball to him earlier when the service improved in the second. Didn't have a good view of the red card but not a lot of reaction from the Woking players although the crowd seemed a bit upset by it. Well done Stanley. A good afternoon out.

For me it was a game of three halves. We started off very nervously, should have been one, and could have been two, down early on. Steadied down by the first scrambled goal and the sending off, then played much better leading to the second goal just before half-time and a period of total domination at the start of the second half (I thought I heard the Woking fans doing the “Ole!” thing during one of our passing sequences). Even during this good period, however, we didn’t seem able to find the final pass, or shoot anything like straight when we got an opening. But the third goal was lovely to watch. After that we should have gone on and scored six, but didn’t (see previous sentence), and for the final fifteen minutes or so we were, in my opinion, frankly dreadful – luckily Woking were unsurprisingly tired so weren’t much better, but kept going and probably deserved a goal. If they had got one with say 5 to go, I reckon it would have been panic stations. As it was, for the first time in my second Stanley-watching career I wasn’t bricking it watching us trying to defend a lead in injury time. But then it was the first time I’ve seen us with a two goal lead, never mind three!

We’ll play better and lose, but it’s the result that counts. Can’t wait for the draw this evening. On Stanley On!!

Glad someone else is spotting what is obvious. Get the ball quicker and more accurately to the flanks and the service to the one / two up front whoever they be will improve no end.
Clark and O'Sullivan are a real threat to any side in this division if used properly and fully.

After the euphoria of yesterday, I woke up with that strange sensation whereby you don't know if you've actually seen something happen, or simply dreamt it. Anyway, I woke up with the clear vision in my head of Mr. McMarmite actually kicking the ball with his left foot!
Surely, it was a dream. C'mon, I mean, his LEFT foot. The one he uses to stand on.
But, no, it was true. Towards the end of the game he sent a cross, admittedly rather tamely into their keeper's arms, with his left foot.
And for all you non-believers, it's there on the Fishy site; the final photo!
I'm framing it behind glass and throwing sugar at it every day.
Well done, our Sean. We knew you could do it after all.

'Twas definitely a Red Card! The lads foot was 18 inches off the ground, with his studs up, as he over stretched for a ball that he had lost control of. Seamus was lucky not to have picked a up bad injury.
:confused:
Billy did well and indeed should have earned us a penalty. :thankya:As usual he was wrestled continually by the opposing defenders and I can recall one particularly obvious occasion when Billy, having again been wrestled from behind, just stood with his arms wide open looking at the Referee :dummy2:for some empathy!

I too thought that the pitch had been reduced in width and it needed rolling too as the recent dry weather had left lots of bits of kicked up turf and soil on the surface. I reckon that they had left it like that knowing that it might disrupt our 'passing game'.:ooh:

The Woking stewards made us very welcome and were very helpful too.:mosher:
Overall it was good day out, (although quite a long day out!) with a good result!:jimbo::wave8::theband:

Bring on Luton!
ON STANLEY ON:mosher:
