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 !.
