That’s a great point with 10 men for an hour ��

Must have been terrible to watch!

My stats site says eight per cent ball possession! 8 vs 92 in the Second half. Eight! You get that from throw-ins normally.

Sending off ruined the game but you can't tackle with studs up these days as soon as their players surrounded the ref there was only one colour of card coming out, shame really because it was shaping up to be a good game. Excellent point though to be honest great defending and a touch of good luck earned a point that could be crucial at the season end.

Game spoilt by the sending off but oh what a battling performance second half with our backs to the wall. Glad to take a point in these circumstances so really well done Stanley.

Less his thigh - more like his crown jewels but he made a meal of it & jumped up quick enough once the red card was brandished.
Game was spoiled from that moment but what a defence masterclass we provided in the second half - well done lads for keeping the Southern shandy boys out

I know we were struggling to get hold of the ball, but their goalkeeper was just asking to be chipped!

The rules are simple. It was a red card as much as it grieves me to say it. I think Coyle's just got too much of an edge and that's been coming
That said awesome display for an hour - not for the purists but enjoyed that.

A game of ‘Three thirds today.
(Yes Thirds not Tu**s!)

First third was even, with Stanley making the brighter start and getting a great headed goal by Colby.
M K Dons got back level though for 1-1.
The sending off totally changed the match though. I was ball watching and didn’t see the actual contact but Joe and others around me said that Coyle’s foot was high with his studs showing so no complaints.
As Coley said in his post match interview, M K Dons like to play a possession game and the match stats certainly backed that up!
The half time substitutions worked well for us and our back four four were very resolute in maintaining their formation and in clearing their lines. The midfield line of five too worked well and forced The Dons out wide most of the time. Bishop, McConville and Hamilton in particular did a lot of running without the ball and were very effective in keeping our opponents at bay. I did feel that we could have brought on Malcolm, perhaps for Sean, for the last fifteen minutes. He would have brought fresh legs and the unlikely but possible opportunity for a ‘break out’ goal to take the victory.
The Stanley Ultras were great again today, particularly in the second half where they did their best to be the ‘Eleventh Man’.
A hard earned point in the end.
ON STANLEY ON.
KERP THE FAITH.

It was a red yes Coyle has an edge to his game and he his going to be an excellent player he will hopefully learn from today hope we tie him down to a longish contract because he his money in the bank for the future.
