Devoid of ideas, ability & skill, they simply hoofed their way into L2.
Todays defeat was as much to do with poor tactics as poor play & the management must accept much of the blame.
In the first half especially, we barely strung a single pass together & relied on panicky long balls to no one in particular, which proved meat & drink to the Ewe's big defenders.
The subs made more impact but it was all too little too late. Apart from a penalty award, we never looked like scoring from open play.
Adieu to L1, it was good while it lasted
Ps. Well done the Shrimps! They battled to overcome a 0-2 deficit at half time to win 3-2.
Good luck Morecambe! You showed a fighting spirit Stanley lacked.

Thanks , yes we have had a good run , a draw at Pompy , then wins against Wycombe , Charlton and Lincoln. Cole Stockton has finally found his form with 5 goals in his last 3 games. We still need a miracle though , we need Burton to beat both Cambridge on Wednesday and MK on Sunday and we also need to win at Exeter. I was wanting an Accrington win today which would have probably relegated Cambridge.
