A nerve-racking 3 points in the bag but we can't keep relying on Moly alone. I took my son in law from Sheffield for one of his occasional Stanley games and was singing the praises of our own Gareth Bale on the walk up through Clayton. Boy, did he deliver! We saw the best and worst of Stanley today - great attacking pressure and spirit, but then our age old fault of panicky defensive play when teams put us under pressure. We just couldn't keep possession well enough in the second half to build from the back, relying instead on "anywhere will do" with the result we were a bit fortunate to see the game out. I think we really, really need to work on this aspect of our play if we are to manage enough wins to survive in this league. It's going to be a hairy ride!
Thought Rab had his best game for us today, and Jeffers was much improved from Tuesday.
