If it was last man, it will be 1 I believe

Harvey recently short of game time...don't judge him too harshley....he had s decision to make and it didn't work out...keeper may have saved?

Unfair on Uwakwe and Russell....who have had limited game time in recent games. Bigger questions remain about other more senior players (favourites) who no longer fulfil their original purpose and who should move on or into coaching before them cost us dear.

Good point apart from 15 minute and gift wrapping both their goals they outplayed us they aren't a bad side when allowed to play, we could have had a result if taking our chances, games of fine margins this season though with games coming thick and fast there isn't much time for training and working on things. What we need to do at Fleetwood if we start well is take the chances on offer maybe a change upfront Bishop looks a bit jaded but who ever plays if we get in front we play with more confidence plenty of twists and turns ahead every team has a lot of games to fit in injuries, fitness and suspensions will have an effect.

I’d give the squad two days off and tell ‘em to just get some rest.

They are apparently having today off.

"Favouritism".. whatever you want to call it...
Can be one of 3 players...

Conneely, club captain. Not just me, look across Social Media and see how many fans are singing his praises, majority saying he has been our player of season.
McConville - agree he has been poor and stop start. Year out can't have helped. Neither playing him out of position. His experience has been slated and yes I agree he shouldn't have recently got the 4 game ban, however, experience is vital in a young squad.
Hughes - Looked leggy but again some of the tackles he made Tuesday night were brilliant. Reads the game very very well. With Sykes missing I don't think he can be dropped. Only obvious option is playing Notts & Burgess centre half. But we don't have a good enough right or left back to fill in.

really agree with that after some of the lads were playing on empty. this catches up on players all of a sudden and at this time of the season rest is more important than training. the players have not a fitness problem but a rest one just to re charge their batteries.

Plus the pitches - ours in particular - are very heavy!

Opinions again Conneelly has played well but he certainly isn't my player of the season, he's had a few under par games in my " opinion " up until last night when he made a error Baxter has been faultless and outstanding keeping us in many games way ahead for player so far for season. But putting that nonsense aside it's a team game we have missed Pritchard and Smyth gives us another option going forward, but games are generally decided in midfield and McConville to me hasn't been near his best, Coley mentioned last night in his interview team not getting him on the ball enough good comment but it also shows Coley,s faith in him which could be clouding his judgement. Personally would give Morgan a start and see how he goes maybe in the hole.

Crewe played football... Stanley kicked a football around !.
Crewe scored twice and won... Stanley failed to score !.
Crewe won... Stanley lost !.

Nothing more to add !.

Opinions yes, but what i'm saying is vast majority of people are praising Conneely. Not sure why many seem to have a grudge against him.

Excuse me ?
1/ The question wasn't for you.
2/ Crown Grounder referred to players - you know the plural of player.
I was just interested in who he thought.
