[Exile on Spencer St]

I'm a bit late, I know, but I've been mulling over Saturday's performance (sic). I can only hope it was an aberration. I've never seen so many players on the same team have such a stinker in the same game. With one or two exceptions it was the worst I've seen Stanley play since.....Farnborough, and I recall they got a point there. The omens seemed bad before the start. In the warm up Dunbavin looked like he was in a real grump, few if any of the other lads were smiling, and then Torquay presented Howe with their Player of the Month award; this the guy who last season undid Stanley's efforts withone touch of class.
6-1 would not have flattered Torquay.
On the brighter side, I thought Dixon was a revelation, and must be worthy of more match time. And Sampson was a class above, admittedly probably not being played to full effect.
I also have concerns about loan players but only where they don't seem to add anything to the team. Sampson seems like he will be a good addition, but that can't be said for all the loanees. There seem to be too many getting games that are simply no better than those on the books. But it's a long season.
