Opoku seems to like to push forward and can get past men with a mix of pace, physical presence, and sheer determination.
Finlay was poor yesterday and is too small to stamp himself on a game (as opposed to an opponent ).
Conneely (who I thought wasn’t the worst player yesterday) isn’t attack minded.

Something needs to change because most clubs seem to have twigged that pressing Stanley in their own penalty area is the way to nullify them being able to build attacks.

Think we missed a trick with Crooks.
Could have had him back in summer but I don’t think Coley fancied it.
Watched him a couple of times last season and he was great.
Seven goals this season suggests he’s carried on his good form.
