Stanley Is A 'Real Handful'

 

Connor Stanley, who has signed for Hereford, was with the Bolton B team twelve months ago having joined from Manchester United.

Matt Craddock was his manager at the time and he told the Manchester Evening News about the young midfielder.

"He is a Man United product and Connor technically is fantastic. We are doing a lot of work with him at the moment because he gets in really good positions to break the lines and sometimes will play back in, rather than playing forward and getting at people.

"I think what we saw tonight in flashes was that bit and that is what I am really pleased about. I will keep harping on about it but that is what our job is.

"We have got to look at individual players and how we can make them better, and that was one thing that we have been talking with Connor about and he showed that today, so I was really pleased with him. He just showed off how technically good he is.

"He probably had a couple of chances to get a shot off in the first half, which he didn’t. But he will learn from that and I was really pleased with his performances today, he looked a real handful."
