Re: Yeovil replay thread
Only second time I've seen Crooks and I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt after Pompey, but agree with Revived Red. It's not that he managed to miss an open goal that was the heart of the problem last night of his selection, but because he appeared to have little or no ball control.
But I thought Yeovil did a 'Satanage' last night, exemplified by the barge on the goalkeeper for their first goal. Jumping sideways into young Rose was just one incident that the ref nor myopic linesman noticed. They harried, and hassled every Stanley players anywhere on the pitch. As soon as anyone in red received or were about to receive the ball, they were challenged, fairly or not. Having said that, Stanley did not disgrace themselves, or the fantastic supporters who got behind them from before the kick off. I thought Joyce in particular played his heart out, and they all did their best, but they just didn't create enough clear chances.
And when Crooks missed what looked like the best chance from the rebound from McCartan's shot, it was almost inevitable what would happen.
