Brilliant result!! Well done lads . . . . . . . Meanwhile at Morecambe, oh dear - their wheels don't usually come off till Christmas

Chimer · 10-09-2016, 16:14

Very pleasant indeed

winstanley asfc · 10-09-2016, 16:18

I predicted correctly. Well done Reds!

Easy win against a poor team. Very well played by Stanley though. Impressive discipline.
I feel much more comfortable with Boco on the pitch though.
MOTM a tough call. Possibly Beckles.

Fantastic away support. Good to meet Nige B and Ang B and the B massive. And the Stanley fans in coach A of the train from Manchester.

Didn't seem easy till Romy scored.

Defence takes a lot of credit today.

Scott Brown also made big difference in uplifting our combativity rating.

Scott brown the difference

Brown is one of me favourite newcomers, along with Beckles.

REDRAINE would have been proud of the boys today!

Brown Conneely and Clark put great shifts in today.

Seem to be going against the consensus here, and obviously delighted at the win, but didn't think that we played all that well today. We were stronger in the first-half when Clark and O'Sullivan were buzzing around their alehouse defenders, and at one point I thought we could potentially rip them to bits with a bit more composure in the final third. But having taken the lead and created some excellent chances, setting us up nicely for the second-half, we let Notts come at us and nearly surrendered the initiative with some non-existent ball retention, especially from the back. Thankfully, Notts were shockingly bad, and when they did manage to fire off a shot on target, Aaron was equal to it. With Johnno nobbled, Coley brought Rommy on and we went into counter-attacking mode, often finding ourselves two-on-two when we did break. Rommy beautifully finished off one such move, and we then shut up shop and saw out the game. We definitely did benefit from Scotty's presence, he brings more energy to the middle than either Davies or Bastien, but the partnership with Clark - probably the best chance we have to replicate the Crooks-Windass dynamic - wasn't firing on all cylinders today. MOTM for me was Aaron, commanding presence throughout and made some crucial saves. Also liked the look of Vyner at the back, noticed that Coley swapped him and Matty after the hour when Zak appeared a bit knackered and vulnerable to their pacey winger. All in all, a cracking three points, but whether we've turned a corner we'll have to see. I'm not sure that Notts are a suitable benchmark against which we can make that judgement.

Right, that's it. Off to Ladbrokes in the morning to bet my house, battered old car and bicycle on a Stanley promotion. Our defence is just so good. When the outfield finally clicks we will be unbeatable.

Apologies, but this is typed on the cattle truck from Sheffield to Manchester. Inebriation levels are high. Mine included. If I wax too lyrical about matters defensive, or a surge that takes us to the pinnacle of European glory you'll know why.

Today was easy in so far as if County fluked a goal (which they never looked like doing) we'd get another. Easily. We should have had plenty more in any case. Loads of chances came and went throughout the game.

Who were the stars? Coleman obviously. Clark is impressive when he gets the ball. Brown did well but I was pleased when Hewitt replaced him as he faded. McConville was hit and miss, Kee ditto. Seamus was better today - predictably, now that Brown is there to provide the steel he lacks. However, The entire defence is just such a solid unit. No one needs special mention and that's how you win stuff.

I thought Coleman got the tactics spot on. Sit back and let a rubbish team attack and take them on the break. Or I hope that's what his tactics were - or maybe we just weren't strong enough in midfield (again) to have complete control. Whatever.

A minutes' applause for one of their departed fans took place as planned. The only time County made any noise at all. The Stanley fans, boisterous but melodious throughout, sang his name as well. Reciprocated by silence.

Nice touch at the end. Coleman, Boco, Kee and Beckles giving big hugs to the away faithful.

I'm missing the next home match, to much disappointment. At least I can be absent in the comforting knowledge that we won't we shipping any goals. An era of invincibility beckons.

Pompey next week isn't it.
Should be a good game.
