Note how everyone is calling up the CB's for a poor performance... remember they spent a lot of the game as the only defenders in a Stanley shirt! Naismith and Mingoia pushing forward meant Deano and Atkinson got stretched more than they would have liked to have been.

What I couldn't grasp was why we persisted with the long ball. Gornell has been fantastic for us but was getting wrestled off the ball by their CB's and the ref was giving us nothing for the shoves and pulling of shirts. By all means leave him on the pitch as he'll tie up their defenders but when you have McCarten,Naismith, Windass, Bruna and Mingoia on the pitch at the same time get the bloody short passes going - we could have tied them in knots!
