Anybody at Chester on the opening day should have known we were in for a long hard season. Hardly any of the current squad have played league football before and they are coming to terms with it. The Hartlepool game was a prime of example of the harsh lessons they have to learn quickly if we are to stay up. It was a game we played poorly in yet we were winning until the sending off that changed the game. The team have to grind out results when they are not playing well but instead got hit by two sucker punches. We have lost two very good players in Roberts and Barry. Haven't replaced Barry and need to replace Roberts with a quality player within budget.
Coley see's Cav nearly everyday and entrusts him with the Captaincy. If he didn't have leadership qualities then Coley would take the armband off him. I for one am looking forward to him being fit again.
C'mon Stanley!

I was at Chester on the opening day and left in no doubt that the club would struggle. With their unimpressive pre - season I didn't expect Chester to be more than typical League 2, but Chester were physically very strong and seemed more effective.
So pessimistic was I after that and subsequent results that I went to Notts County in preference to a prior commitment because it was the best league ground I expected to see Stanley play at - and probably only once.
After Wrexham. our narrow late victories over Boston and Wycombe appeared to confirm the illusion that the FES was our fortress but I thought they were both the better sides on the day. Against Swindon we failed to capitalise on a good first half performance.
Against that background I was dismayed to see Gary go to Ipswich.
We are going to have to hope that Shaun Whalley and Leighton McGivern cut the mustard. We are only 4 points above the drop zone and I expect Steve Evans to keep Boston up.
