Got a feeling we will get a good result today. We had better- manual tomato watering is off the cards, thanks to our weather gods. Today we click. (Now if thats not an invitation to implode, what is ?)

..and Josh gets the scoreboard underway.

Hi Kiwi.......at home following the match with Covid! Not wanting to spread it at the game......we are being very wasteful, a lot of chances not being converted. Wonder where Tommy Leigh is today? Not in the match day squad?

Not the scoreline I hoped for, but 3 points I preyed for. Onya Stanley.

This new Kiwi is starting to get a little cocky now I have noticed, thread starting all over the show!!!!

Did I watch a different game to whoever compiled these so-called stats?
Thought we should have murdered them in the first half by three or more goals.
However, it wouldn’t be Stanley if there wasn’t a final tense ten minutes of allowing an inferior team back into the game and panicky defending.
But, for a change, Stanley clutch a victory from the jaws of….err, a victory.

I must admit Exile that I thought they had the better chances in the first half and if they were clinical, they would have been a couple of goals up.

You are spot on about the last 10/15 minutes and I ended up being relieved when the whistle went

After the last few weeks, the win was what we needed most, a good performance would have been nice, but hey ho

VALAIRIAN · 07-10-2023, 18:26

Some good performances today

Ben Woods
Josh Andrews
Matt Lowe
Dan Martin

You know what you get from players like Shaun Whalley and (seasoned experienced 500+ game) Brad Hills, but some good performances from young inexperienced players today

Matt Lowe... what a difference the change of position is making. Well done Matt.

Having just watched the extended highlights, with the relaxation of knowing the result, I think both teams and the ref yesterday deserved credit for playing the game in a competitive but fair manner.
There was none of the bully-boy tactics and little of the play-acting we’ve seen from so-called ‘bigger’ teams and the ref was able to manage the game well without needing to be the centre of attention.
