Loved seeing it, trust the keeper to pull off an absolute world class save to keep out his strike to win it too!

Overall, a scrappy goal from a scrappy game but it’s the sign of a good team to get something from nothing, couldn’t see us scoring before the goal.
Bursik played well again and as much as a fan of Dimi I am, you can’t really complain at Bursik playing.
Johnson was average, Hughes and Sykes had a good game, Opoku played poor in comparison to recent weeks. Offered little going forward and struggled to track back; can’t be too critical of the lad keeping in mind this is his first taste of men’s football and how well he has slotted in to the team.
Clicked is the most frustrating player ever. Agreed he has the touch and class but as I’ve said many a time, end product let’s him down slightly.
Conneely was poor first half but second half he dominated the midfield, Finley started well but seemed to tire and was sloppy late on.
Pritchard and to be fair McConville both were an option but neither made a solid impact; however it’s clear to see SM is vital to a Stanley battle and JP seems to be getting better each game.
Dion ran himself into the ground but sometimes naivety got the better of him, same with Colby who never really got into the game.

All in all a good away point to start the festive period with. If we can get a point playing like that and demolish Bolton 7-1 and Pompey 4-1 when we are unplayable, hopefully the middle ground will see us pick up a few 1-0’s and 2-1’s to help us up that table.

KTF as always, Merry Christmas one and all x

Bit of a stupid comment.
Ever considered it was a change of tactics implemented by the gaffer ?

Seems a perfectly reasonable question to me, rather than a comment, and in any case not addressed to you. So why "stupid"? That's an insult that's not really conducive to the high standard of debate we're used to on here :rolleyes:

The first goal to be scored by a Stanley player not wearing red.
