Re: v Swindon-How lucky was that?
Not just pints of beer but there’ll be a few glasses of nerve tonic enjoyed tonight.
What a game!
For much of the 90 minutes, and most of the second half against ten men, Stanley (imho) were diabolical.
Couldn’t control the ball, couldn’t make a pass, couldn’t head the ball to a colleague - one of the worst performances i’ve seen this season.
Swindon deserved to go ahead with a good second goal, the away fans were smugly confident, and on 90 minutes it was doom and gloom in atheist Wham.
And then up pops Tyler to bang in a late equaliser and the Stanley life support machine kicked in.
The extra time was the most exciting period of the match and the young (and not so young) subs introduced some much needed urgency.
And, after his earlier penalty heroics, it was Billy Crellin’s two saves and the calm four penalties from Stanley that won the day.
Hats off to the penalty takers, and especially young Popoola for taking the first penalty, but Crellin deserved took the Man of the Match.
