PNE Thread

Thrilled by a real fighting performance by the reds, heartbreak at 2-2 how can we not see the 3 mins out, elation at 3-2, but feel for Preston fans who at 2-1 they filed out of the ground, at 2-2 they were running back in and all most immediately turned tail and file back out as Stanley went 3-2,
 
Sorry, can't share the feeling for any Preston fans who were leaving at 2 - 1, you don't leave before the final whistle & the fat lady has sung her last note:)
 
Having slept on last nights game, I decided my earlier one-word superlative was inadequate to describe the true magnitude of this victory.
Make no mistake, this was no fluke win. We took on and beat a Championship club who arrived determined to show who was the boss in this match.
Preston were skilful & fast. Their one-touch passing was a joy to behold.
Yes! On another day, they could have scored 3 or 4 goals & as Cashy pointed out, their finishing was their downfall.
But, when they began to put us under pressure after their first equaliser, there was the Great Dane pulling off some great saves & plucking high balls from the air with ease.
Ours was a performance of guts & determination.
After Jordan's 86th minute goal to restore our lead, a lesser team would have thrown in the towel when Preston equalised in the 91st minute.
But this team showed their mettle to stun our opponents with a deserved winner in the 93rd minute.
I think MOM was given to Hornby-Forbes, who was brilliant throughout.
But every Stanley player deserved praise for their 'never-say-die' attitude.
After last night, we need fear no-one in league 2.
Never mind Yeovil, bring on Luton I say!

Totally agree..! And in the cold light of day I'm afraid my analysis is as brief as your original retort...

WOW !....WHAT A GAME OF FOOTBALL THAT WAS !

ON STANLEY ON !... TO EVEN GREATER THINGS !.
 
must have been a great night for you lot who went. all i got was a soaking, a lousy game to ref and i had a nightmare. my mind was twenty odd miles away. won,t happen for the next round.
 
Tomorrow night seems like ages to wait for draw for next round - fingers crossed it'll be a good 'un :)
 
Bit harsh that F19 can't blame Matty for the goals - plus they scored 4.
Harvey copped for a second yellow late into extra time and they were already losing.
If we can get Jordan in the right area he'll score goals. Very impressed with Kayden need to keep him fit.
 
Cashy - I wasn't there because I'm a bit of a traditionalist and get excited by the league, the FA cup and not much else. l'm more likely to go away to an inconvenient midweek league match against a crap team than Man U at home in a League Cup match.

That's an exaggeration of course - and after my foolishness of not going last night I suspect I will be re-evaluating my priorities in future!
