I’d count again Cashy, I made it 8 of their 11 tonight started their last league game.
The 3 that didn’t,
Melbourne - 12 games this season
Gotts - 15 games this season
Elbouzedi - 5 games.

They played their first team.

In our 18 tonight we had 11 out of Friday,s 18 in there no excuses just a very poor performance and disappointed not for losing or going out of the competition but by the very fact we were so poor all over the pitch, let's hope it's put behind us and we continue our fine form in the league.

Oh behave Andy, in our starting 11 we had 1 from Friday.
Let’s not beat around the bush here.....

We all must have now worked out the plan tonight.

And so onto Saturday.....

No around the bush we were well beaten and we move on will the experience do the youngsters any good depends on how well you take being hammered, Perritt looks a decent player and he was far from match fit, young Fenlon could be a find, Zehn seen him a few times now not a bad player but far from good enough for league 1 just not our night as a team didn't perform at all we move on.

I'm disappointed by tonight's result but not exactly surprised.
Let's face it, it's no fluke the Imps are top of the league & when the draw was made I thought it was the worst one possible.
I won't be losing any sleep about exiting the EFL Trophy if it means maintaining our current momentum in the league.
I'm certain the team feel terrible about tonight's defeat. Let's hope it doubles their determination to do better come Saturday.
T.B.H, our first round exit from the FA Cup was a bitter pill to swallow, but if we end up in the play-offs - or better; which Stanley fan will remember or care?

VALAIRIAN · 13-01-2021, 04:53

Just hope that this does not knock us back....

It is a defeat, regardless of players picked.....

Let us see what happens next League game

andyd · 13-01-2021, 07:45

After listening to Coley,s interview this morning I am convinced he is of the same opinion as me disappointed with display and defeat concerns about exiting the Papa John's cup not one bit.

being knocked out of the fa cup and pappy johns last night certainly did not have me losing any sleep. lost any real interest years ago with either competition to be honest. given the choice i,d take a 4 nil win over the fatty,s 11 on saturday well before last night. never actually checked the score till the game was over.

[QUOTE=StanleyJosh;1249049]I still think we have good strength in depth, take maybe 7 or 8 or the lads playing tonight and replace 1 regular first team player and they’d do a job - similar to how Harvey has replaced Ross.
Weakness shows when you replace majority of team.

thats totally true when you play a changed or weakened side whatever you want to call it. just the same when these premier league teams who go down the same road in other cup competitions get beaten by lesser sides.

They played a strong side Cashy but a lot of their players are isolated hence only 4 on bench plus they have no game Saturday due to opposition got Covid, on the night they thoroughly deserved there victory and the man of the match to me was the lad on loan from Leeds himself only 21. Our team I know had 10 changes and when I saw the lineup I expected defeat but not an average time of below 4 scores including the " big guns who came on ", to me you grab a chance by both feet but to be honest a lot of them just not good enough on the night.

Squad of 33 2 out on loan 1 out for season probably leaves 30 we are pushing top end of league 1 if planning ahead with a possibility of going up a league out if that 30 you have possibly 22 who are good enough at this moment in time to be in the 18 with the amount of games to fit in and bad weather looming again no wonder Coley is looking to bring in. We have a few who are only 17 ish one of whom Fenlon was better than most last night , players like Ogle 22 in March Mohammed 20 should not there fault have appearances under their belts now, Harry Pickering has an example at Crewe at 21 has well over 120 appearances hence Blackburn interest. Stanley have a low budget and our squad has performed miracles but some of our youngest members are probably on very low wages. The academy is still relatively new and Savin, Sykes are 2 examples of how well we do but football is about opinions and not everyone sees the games the same.
