[Revived Red]

Yes, the referee was poor. But we were abysmal. In actual fact, our standard of play seemed to improve after the sending-off.

There are some serious questions to be asked now. Let's start with the new keeper. Why was he used today? Clearly he had never trained with the team. It was very odd indeed to see him being introduced to the rest of the team during the warm-up. Aaron Chapman looked totally p***ed off.

The next question to ask is about training. Are the players not told to find a space or to make a run to receive the ball? Our players were static, no movement whatsoever. Our passing was predictable - so the Cheltenham players could intercept very easily. In fact, far too often, we saved them the trouble of intercepting by passing directly to them. In fact it looked as though most of the Stanley players were strangers to each other, not only the new keeper.

Coley often talks of shaking things up. It's all talk - it never happens.

On today's form, it is going to be a long fight against relegation.

Of course we may have played abysmally today in order to confuse any Middlesbrough spies who happened to be there.
