But sadly, it's not "the first real sign of adversity". This is what Carpon wrote after the Notts County game:

What makes me worry- an ordinary team took another 3 points.We were 2-0 up against another ordinary team,let it slip, went back in front and hung on to win the game (bottom of league hammered them 5-0 today). I like many others,was at Gigg Lane. 1-0 up,should have been 3, end up losing a game we should have won comfortably.

Wrexham...... Total lack of effort.

We may have the cushion now. How long can this side carry passengers???

Forget the non-sensical talk of Play offs !!! REALITY BITES. !!

For my mind, success is avoiding relegation back to the Conference.

I, like many others am P****d off with what transpired against Notts County, but what worries me more is the lack of switches,change of tactics,change of personell.

We must not forget the dismal games seen earlier in the season. Let's remember that Steve McLaren was not sacked because of one bad result. As far as Stanley is concerened, we are still seeing the same ineffective (non-existent!) tactics. I was at Stockport last Saturday and our performance was inept - and Stockport are a very ordinary team.

Another factor to remember is that those of us who post on here are the truly committed Stanley fans, irrespective of our thoughts about the management/chairman etc. The club NEEDS "Joe Public" to be turning up at the FES in greater numbers than is presently happening. Is the team playing a style of football that will attract the non-committed? In that context, the performance against Posh is largely irrelevant - it is the performance against the likes of Stockport and Notts County that is more relevant.
