Mitch Clark man of the match. Closely followed by the ref. Great performance from the entire squad. Well done, lads.
Mitch Clark is rapidly becoming a real talent to watch since he was recalled he has grown better each game in patches second half he was unstoppable down the right flank keep this kind of form up and we could have another the scouts are queuing up to watch excellent team performance tonight defending from the front and playing more on the floor really could have had five goals good game in the conditions, Longelo looked good when he came on new striker was willing and works into space has a striker should unlucky with a couple 8,s for everyone else.
An excellent three points in the 2-0 victory over a good Oxford side on a very wet evening!Oxford had the edge over Stanley in midfield for most of the match but our boys produced the goods where it mattered. ie. In the goal mouth action at both ends of the field. Our defence once again stood tall, (literally), with Sykes so dominant with his headed clearances and Nottingham using his experience similarly with his head but playing very calmly with the ball at his feet and hardly wasting a pass all night. Amankwah had probably his best game for us and Mitch Clarke was superb again. Mitch not only marked his opponent out of the match but he was also so effective going forward down the right wing. The regular match time that he has got recently has sharpened up his speed and he has certainly developed an eye for goal.
Our midfield had less possession than our opponents due to their very slick passing and control. We perhaps needed to press their midfielders a little more.
Up front we clearly missed Colby Bishop but new boy, Adedoyin, worked very hard and could have scored with a bit more luck. Substitute Longelo looked dangerous when he came on too.
Our goals were both superbly set up and taken by scorers O’Sullivan and Hamilton. A good pass from Nottingham found O’Sullivan just outside the penalty area and he thumped a dipping shot into the bottom right hand corner. In added time in the closing stages of the match Sykes found himself out on the right wing! He had time to look up and superbly picked out Hamilton on the edge of the penalty area. He side stepped two tackles and smashed the ball past the Oxford keeper to sent the Stanley faithful into raptures!
The Clayton End had played their part all night with their constant singing and the second goal allowed us to really enjoy that closing minutes of added time.
ON STANLEY ON.
KEEP THE FAITH.

yes and against the side i always think of as being a bit of a bogy side for stanley.
Ref had a good game and did not stand for any nonsense
Also, very fair with both sets of players!
More of the same please
if only. possibly the complete opposite on saturday in every respect showing how stanley are the typical mid table side by being so irratic and back to usual with the match officials.
Hey andy Sean had a good game but he missed a bigger Sitter i thought.
