[Exile on Spencer St]

Pretty mundane affair from both sides incapable of threatening the goal for much of the match but Stanley did well to hold out for a point.
Ref started the first half being extremely lenient, trying to keep the game moving, and Stanley were very lucky not to concede a penalty. In the second half the players started taking advantage and fouls and play-acting became more frequent, more nasty, and eventually led to the sending off.
Thought Evtimov, Hughes, Opoku, Alese, and Conneely played very well - the rest were ineffective to a lesser or greater degree.
Really missed Clark’s input today, he was unusually quiet and Pritchard’s weak shot straight at their keeper in the opening minutes was Stanley’s best and only chance on target.
Still cannot understand what Coleman sees in Zanzala. On my (admitted limited) exposure to both players Charles seems at least as quick if not quicker, and certainly stronger.
