Trafford.
Rodgers. Sykes. Nottingham. Amankwah.
Hamilton. Conneely. Pell. McConville.
Mansell. Mumbongo.
Subs :- Savin. Sherring. Coyle. O'Sullivan. Scully. Nolan. Malcolm.

Re: Burton away match thread
 

Amankwas playing andy im glad he is hope coley plays him higher up the field.

Re: Burton away match thread
 

Depending on formation Cashy I,m guessing 4-4-2 or he is sticking with 3-5-2 with Amankwah maybe left wing back and Sean right and Ethan inside we will have to wait and see.

Re: Burton away match thread
 

Showing 3-4-2-1?????

Strong looking side :)

Re: Burton away match thread
 

for me amankwa can put a better cross oer than sean at this point is reason i would like him further up the field.

Re: Burton away match thread
 

Another crap Stanley performance absolutely no confidence no organisation no midfielder with any semblance of finding a player or creating anything we really should be 4-0 down worrying times look a bottom four side tonight.

Re: Burton away match thread
 

Darren Drysdale! ……..almost as big a ‘legend’ as Kettle!:eek:

Re: Burton away match thread
 

I think bottom four side is an overly generous description.

Re: Burton away match thread
 

The Stanley players are worse look disinterested.

Re: Burton away match thread

Re: Burton away match thread
 

Your wish is Stanley’s gift.

Re: Burton away match thread
 

This is a comedy show except it isn't funny what is going on something is seriously wrong 4-0 down against a very average but better than us side waste of a tenner feel for those that have travelled.

Re: Burton away match thread
 

This is serious.

Re: Burton away match thread
 

4-0:(

Re: Burton away match thread
 

Ged Brennan claiming “they don’t become bad players overnight”.
Where’s he been for the last couple of months?

Re: Burton away match thread
 

Very relegation written all over it.

Re: Burton away match thread
 

Lost for words.

Helping coach this load of c---

Re: Burton away match thread
 

I suggest we play the u23s at Lincoln on Saturday

:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

Can’t see we could do worse …….

Re: Burton away match thread
 

I literaly have to go to the hospital in a few minutes and I'm scared they will admit me for super high stress levels now and not for my on going condition. :(

Re: Burton away match thread
 

At least young Coyle has shown a bit of fight in midfield all the others have been shocking.

Re: Burton away match thread
 

the second half has been worse than the first. mumbongo couldnt score in a brothel

Re: Burton away match thread
 

I wish we we playing us on Saturday.

Re: Burton away match thread
 

Think we need 11 signings in January.

Re: Burton away match thread
 

Signings certainly worked for us in the Summer.

Re: Burton away match thread
 

Defcon 2 anyone?

Re: Burton away match thread
 

I suspect, and hope, it’s defcon 1 inside that away changing room.

Re: Burton away match thread
 

Half of them have played in our last few games, I vote we play our under 18's

Re: Burton away match thread
 

Very fortunately for us, Crewe and Fleetwood both lost, Donnie are 3-0:down with 8 mins to play, Shrewsbury only got one point, and 20th placed Gillingham lost as well

If they carry on being as bad as or worse that us we might, just might, survive, but I want you all kneeling by the side of your beds tonight with your hands together and your eyes closed

Please

Re: Burton away match thread
 

Granted we lack confidence but we seem to switch off far too often, 2 goals were passed to them on a plate, was laughable.

IMO we’re going to lose every game until we get a decent striker or two, and I am frustrated that Dion isn’t allowed to play, I feel it’s just stubbornness but it’s costly to the whole team.. If he doesn’t want to sign a contract then fine that’s what happens in the footballing world but if he gives 100% at training and when wearing the red shirt then why not play him… we are DESPERATE for a goal scorer and surely he is the last resort till January transfer window. If we can’t score we are never going to win it’s that simple.

Colby will be back on Saturday so hopefully that can lift the mood and help us get that well needed win!! Well I hope so anyway…

Re: Burton away match thread
 

Given the fight, enthusiasm, and energy I saw in the U18s against Bolton I think that could be the best option.
Either that or Stanley should pull the Covid card for a couple of months until Butcher, Pritchard, Bishop, Leigh, Morgan, and Hardy are fit.

Re: Burton away match thread
 

even the Burton fans looked bored, it was that easy. I hope Dan excuses John from having to comment - he must feel like walking away. Reminded me of those school games afternoons where one of the house teams was composed of pupils who wished they'd signed up for the needlework class.
Hey Kiwi - wishing you all the best for your hospital treatment - more important than a mickey mouse footie match.

Re: Burton away match thread
 

I think it's more like Dion is refusing to train or play rather than him not being allowed to, if he was giving 100% in training (even if it was to try & earn himself a move) then I'm sure he'd be in the squad. The sooner it’s sorted, the better as it must be affecting the morale of the rest of the players

Re: Burton away match thread
 

I going to disagree with you. I don’t know Dion as a person, however judging by the way he plays the game, I’d be amazed if he’s not putting the effort in in training. Coley has dug his heels in and, in my view, is cutting off his nose to spite his face, as from a footballing viewpoint, Dion would be getting a game - we offer little goal threat at the moment, opposing centre back aren’t put under any pressure, and Dion gives you both. No one is benefitting from the situation and feels like Coley feels the principle is more important than giving ourselves a better chance of picking a few points up.

There may be more to this than were being told, and I don’t think it’s a coincidence that our poor run began around the time this episode started. The squad is weaker than last year.

Re: Burton away match thread
 

Said the same thing right at the beginning should have been paid up and shipped out have heard quite a few rumors of an unhappy ship can't all be just gossip looking at that disinterested performance from senior players including the club captain one of the worst Stanley efforts put into a performance I have seen at least young Coyle give me a bit of hope.

Re: Burton away match thread
 

The Tweet from Dan Jewell - 18/09/2021 - said that Coley had said, Dion was not injured, but he was left out.

Dion must want to train and play........

So, from that, I take it that it is Dion?????

I might be very, very wide of the mark, but that is how I am reading it.........

:) :) :)

Re: Burton away match thread
 

Listening to Coley, in his Burton preview, Coley appears to be saying that Dion has to sign a new contract, seems different to the Tweet I mentioned earlier.........

Who knows, but as we all think, not helping anybody :(


:) :) :)

Re: Burton away match thread
 

The quote along the lines of, if he needs to sign a new contract if he wants to play, does make it look like Coleman is being a bit unfair to be honest.

He is contracted until the end of the season and we are getting dragged into a relegation fight with a lack of fire power not helping, even though shipping a bucket load recently hasn't helped.

Hopefully he moves on 1 Jan as it is harming the player and the club.

Re: Burton away match thread
 

Our inability to score is a serious concern. However, it doesn't stop you from drawing 0-0, which would be something of a blessing at the moment.
What is more concerning are the number of goals we're now shipping in every game.
We're fast becoming the team everyone loves to thrash & it's embarrassing.
You can't make a silk purse from a sows ear, but it can't always be down to individual errors.
Yes, we're missing key players, but the coaching & management team must accept their responsibility for the teams performance.
Anyone got Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's number?

Re: Burton away match thread
 

Since last season we've lost Hughes, Barclay and Burgess at the back. It's noticeable that we had Burgess for the first couple of games when we certainly tighter there. I didn't see the game last night so can't really comment but would be interested to know whether we stuck with 3 at the back. When things were going pear shaped in matches last season there was a willingness to take somebody off and change the system. This season it seems to have been a case of that's what we've decided to do and we're going to stick to it apart from throwing on attackers when it's too late to change the result.

Re: Burton away match thread
 

Key players being Pritchard, Butcher, Morgan, Bishop and Leigh, all decent on their day but not one of them a defender, looking at Coleman's face in the post match interview he looked visibly sick and shocked, he admitted to the plan of using the long ball which we did to little effect let them be dictate the midfield and once conceded fell apart like a pack of cards. No leadership down to Conneely and the senior players who quite frankly look finished this season, McConville and Conneely look one paced devoid of any ideas and why he has to take every set piece I don't know but Hamilton,s body language after being waved away from one spoke volumes to me of trouble in the camp looking like a very unhappy place at the moment.

Re: Burton away match thread
 

Now ive cooled down last nights game Burton are an average side not good but get by imho. yet they got 4 against us.our distribution is PATHETIC.our manager keeps saying its a good squad well to me its not it cant be.no decent squad will give the ball away that regular im sure. i do not think we will go down but if this lots as good as our manager says then they better start showing it.

Re: Burton away match thread
 

Where have you seen this Andy?? :confused:

:) :) :)

Re: Burton away match thread
 

????????
He is refusing to play .......

Re: Burton away match thread
 

Like I have repeatedly said pay him up sack him whatever if it's to be believed he doesn't want to sign a contract he his not the first player to do this and won't be the last if he refuses to play surely he his in breach of contract sick of hearing about it too be honest the teams dire form his and should be the area of concern, two young inexperienced goalkeeper,s don't help Baxter last season was an exception an excellent keeper who marshalled his defence no coincidence after injury our form dipped last season and continue,s now poor recruitment in the keeper area to me and in other areas especially left back.

Re: Burton away match thread
 

I see you have spoken with the powers that be and got it on the website - cheers Andy :)

:) :) :)

Re: Burton away match thread
 

So Grayson and Dunn have been shown the door at Fleetwood ...!
They were described this morning as being ‘ unfit for purpose ‘ and building a squad of no-hopers !..
After watching last nights match ( well it was a mismatch really !)..In my opinion the current squad, admittedly short on ‘star’ players, are on the whole ‘unfit for purpose ‘, that is if their purpose is to professionally give a performance intended to win the game in which they are playing .
They are leaderless, they are apparently short in the basic skills required to play, (in Stanley’s case survive).. at League One level. If they are receiving adequate coaching then they don’t appear to have the nous to translate this into their play on match days, they are in a nutshell ‘ unfit for purpose !.
It grieves me, the eternal optimist, to post what sounds like a moratorium in places... what it really is intended to be is a plea to our Management to create a squad of footballers instead of a bunch of lads kicking a ball around !.
If this fails the outcome is indeed frightening to predict ..:punsure::punsure::end::s_cry:

Re: Burton away match thread
 

Talking of leadership Yonmon, the loss of Yozzer is a massive one for us... :(


:) :) :)

Re: Burton away match thread
 

have just listened to our managers view of the game, he mentioned 4 players, well from my point of view 2 of the four were dire last night.

Re: Burton away match thread
 

A brave statement I agree and have also spoken about certain senior players who have been great servants are looking tired and frankly finished at this level, to point this out to some fans though his sacrilege like they as a team can't function without them time Mr.Coleman to put your trust in to some younger fitter players what Nolan has to do to get a game is beyond me but then again he is behind one of Coley,s trustees.

Re: Burton away match thread
 

I think he named them in relation to them being the four players in the squad who worked to help Stanley get into League 1, not that they (or many others) played well last night.
Looking at the “highlights” we were lucky to get nil.

Re: Burton away match thread
 

Not only Yozzer my friend.
It seems like only yesterday we had players the quality of Matty Pearson, Scott Brown, Callum Johnson, Jordan Clark, Billy Kee, Kayden Jackson, Janoi Donacien, Shay McCarten, Omar Beckles, Aaron Chapman, Marcus Bettinelli.
Without doubt the saddest 4 words in the English language - 'Those days are gone!'

Re: Burton away match thread
 

Quite true my friend, but I am more thinking of last season, to this..... :)

Re: Burton away match thread
 

We're doomed.

Re: Burton away match thread
 

rubbish you are.

Re: Burton away match thread
 

Considering the great Spanish football managers and their systems (Aragones and "tiki-taka"; Del Bosque and the "high press" etc), it's perplexing to me that our three wise men have instead decided to go down the route of the great neo-surrealist Joan Miro, and make use of this more rarely used formation:

Don't panic Cashy!

Re: Burton away match thread
 

Ahhh.....don't know what all the fuss is about.....it's only a game! We'll soon have a new bar to not celebrate in.......after losing at home....It's overated that being involved in the playoffs, promotion and winning cups. I remember the "good old days" when we were constantly fighting relegation and wondering if we'd still be able to complete the fixtures after January when the Tax Man came calling.........

Re: Burton away match thread
 

Just watched the highlights (ha ha!) Lamentable!
Can't see Man City wanting Trafford back on his recent form.
I've seen better keeper performances at non-league level.

Re: Burton away match thread
 

The only consolation from last night was the photo of Tommy Leigh (thanks, to Kippax’s gallery) stepping off the team bus. Trust he gets back soon.

Re: Burton away match thread
 

Hope they reduce prices in League Two next year.

I paid £25 for the Wigan debacle.

Re: Burton away match thread
 

Why who yeh going watching?

Re: Burton away match thread
 

Thats the spirit Cashy.

Re: Burton away match thread
 

Wow, just seen the goals........

I like Amankwa and think he has a bright future, but the first two goals were down to him :(

Harry Pell was at fault for the third, but he was put off by their player stopping him from taking the free kick - the other way around and Pell gets a yellow - but, not really a defence for him :(

Fourth, well...................



:) :) :)

Re: Burton away match thread
 

City loaned out 3 'keepers last season and they were all released.

Can't be easy being a 5-8th choice goalies.
