Ellison is not universally accepted at the Crown, but his example of sheer industry and effort displayed yesterday was one which our left side players (no names, no pack-drill !)could well use as an example of what is required in the cut and thrust of games at the foot of the entire Football League .

Am I also wrong in thinking that the Stanley seem to be a collection of reasonably good footballers who are, unfortunately, not a Football team ?.
That's was I was saying Yomon,they are playing Ellison more up front than left wing (although he drifts into that channel).
If you shake the pack up we might get a result.
Start with clean sheets,no nonsense defending and a bit more direct and play off the second ball.
There's a lot of good players in the squad,I am sure they could adapt
