On the balance of play we deserved at least a point. It was a team with a lot of new players and that was evident from our play, hopefully we'll learn from this and improve.
We won a lot of corners and had a lot of crosses into the box from deep but never looked like doing anything with them, if Brown or Smith where available we might have had a chance with the balls into the box but they weren't and it was all to easy for Stalybridge to defend.
A few small changes for Tuesday and we've got a good chance to get some points on the board. Colley didn't look up to, certainly not a player capable of scoring 20+ at this level and not particularly good in the air for a tall man. Fairhurst looked much more threatening in the few mins he had and should start Tuesday. Maguire was our only decent defender. Pepe-Ngoma isn't enough of a presence to play centre half, thought he did ok as a holding midfielder against Peterborough. Put round pegs in round holes and put Thomas the right back at right back, get the left back off the bench and play him at left back, if Brown is fit play him rather than Pepe-Ngoma, if not then put Price at centre half.
