League 2 Crewe enjoyed 53% possession - away from home!
They had 12 shots on goal - 6 on target.
We had 11 - with a pathetic 1 on target.
Most worrying of all, we conceded 15 fouls, including 2 yellow & 1 red card.
Perhaps the unwelcome title as the dirtiest team in football is becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy.
I've enjoyed so many moments over the past few years, in both cup & league, when I've been proud to be a Stanley fan.
Today was not one of them.

It was that bad I can,t even remember our one shot on target, not scoring goals obviously affects strikers confidence but this is now spred right through the team,as I have previously said this large squad that's been assembled seems to lack league 1 standards and this is rapidly unfortunately turning into one of the poorer Stanley sides for quite a while need to turn this home form around before our new found support starts to dwindle today back to hardcore 1250,ish.
