Spot on Exile with your analysis! Virtually the whole Stanley team were way off today. With the obvious exception of heroic Billy Crellin, also Tyler Walton for his goals and powerful running and also Sonny Aljofree for his coolness under pressure. Zack Awe had his hands full against the problematic big guy Smith but he dug in bravely. Our other lads all seemed to have a bad day and seemed unable to pass accurately, control when receiving the ball and the whole team didn’t get anyway near working out how to take advantage of the ‘extra man’. Honestly, I think that we ‘got out of gaol’ today purely down to Billy’s heroic penalty saves. Agree with Exile that in contrast, the penalty takers were sublime.
Let’s hope that we get a big draw in Round Three.
