Also my first game of the season............ needless to say what a nightmare result.

What seems to be quite strange to me, is that we have the opposite problem of what we usually have at Stanley. The normal amount of early season solid defence and lack of goals has pretty much been 20 of the last 25 season's that I have been going on the crown. (Lutel & Mullin) (Grant & Symes) (Kee & Jackson) apart have really only been what I would call a "proper" strike pairing from August onwards. This year however we seem to have the goals, What a strike from Charles by the way..................

BUT as others have said, at the back we look like schoolboys. Is Evtimov the answer ?? At the moment, you would have to say No. Yes he has made some great saves against Lincoln and Wimbledon in particular, but for me, his decision making & communication simply isnt there.

Maguire again as others have said, had a poor game at LB, assuming Angel will come straight back in on Saturday? Not sure where a few rated Finley last night, thought he pretty much offered nothing along with Conneely.

Coley said we will win games if we carry on playing like that, but on last night's viewing we need major surgery at the back, im my humble opinion !
