'If there was ever a bizarre game of football with a completely joke scoreline this was the one. Our keeper getting man of the match says it all. For the first 20 mins Stoke were in control of the game, we suddenly get a couple of quick goals and then the turning point of the game they get a pen and miss it. I think if that had gone in it would have been a completely different story. I felt that knock the Stoke lads back a bit and we took full advantage. Saying that they never stopped having a go and only an outstanding game from our keeper stopped them scoring.
They have some real quality in their side and once they get themselves sorted they are going to be a good team. They also did a lot better than us in our first ever game when Bury took great delight in sticking 16 passed us all those years ago lol
Glad you enjoyed the trip round Deep dale i am really proud of our ground so thanks for the kind words.
