Re: vs Poodles
 

I was surprised how many there were there actually. It's hard to tell in a stadium so large, but I'd guess around 250+.

:) Not Bad To Say It Was A Night Match And At Least A 2 Hour Drive Tm,im Sure You All Did Stanley Proud As They Did You And Us Back Home :)

Re: vs Poodles
 

Got back half hour ago. Agree most players gave 100% but Miles didnt look interested when he came on looked knackered. Kenny was magic and pulled off some great saves and Rocky played with passion. Pity Miles hasnt got any.

Re: vs Poodles
 

Rocky got a rousing reception despite the red card, proud to be a red tonight. Moaning should be banned...............

Re: vs Poodles
 

Great effort STANLEY.Please maintain that passion others on here say you showed today. Why do I have this feeling inside that this season could be something special.?

Re: vs Poodles
 

Well done lads, I didnt get chance to go but you made my evening watching the scores on skysports,we didn't win but it has given me hope that maybe this season won't be so tough after all.(here's hoping)

Re: vs Poodles
 

Rocky may have played with passion but he made too many mistakes and he is just not good enough. As per usual when a striker goes round him he either pulls him back or knocks him down. Don't know if he will be suspended for Saturday as he got two yellow cards, but we can only live in hope.

Re: vs Poodles
 

We thought that Rocky was shown a yellow before being dismissed, but I can't remember him being booked previous to that. I only remember a Wolves player being booked. :confused:

BBC SPORT | Football | League Cup | Wolves 3-2 Accrington (aet)

This report says Sent off Williams, Booked Williams. Telegraph says two yellow cards.

Nobody has mentioned John Mullin's performance last night. I thought he brought a bit of composure to the midfield instead of the usual headless chicken performance of Procky.

Re: vs Poodles
 

As I say, we thought Rocky was shown a yellow before the red, but none of us could remember him getting a first one. It was a professional foul anyway, so it should have been a straight red.

John Mullin did really well last night and he did add composure to the midfield. I hope he can get properly fit, as he will add a lot to the team this year.

As well as Kenny Arthur who also did very well, I think special mention should go to Phil Edwards once again. To my mind he is the best player we have at the club.

Well done lads - a tremendous performance !!! :D:D:D

I was watching the score updates on Skysports live and couldn't believe it when we took the lead and then held it till 12 or 13 mins before the finish. At one stage, I thought a real upset was on the cards (I'd predicted a 3-0 defeat for Stanley) and it was almost like the results against Nottingham Forest and Watford (ok - we lost the Watford match but that went to a penalty shoot-out).

If only we could play like that week in and week out, we would have no worries and would hold a comfortable mid-table position, but last season, we were so inconsistent - have things really changed ?

I'd love to think so. :)

Re: vs Poodles
 

Did anyone get a programme last night? In the pen-pics I couldn't help noticing how much Jay Bell looks like his Dad. Oh, hang on. It was a picture of his Dad!!! :D

Re: vs Poodles
 

I have to agree with much of what has been said already. It was a great night to be a Stanley supporter. Kenny Arthur and Phil Edwards were magnificent.

But....I still worry about the attack. I'm not sure that Jamie Clarke is the answer. Although as TM has said, Wolves were technically better than us, we were able to match them in midfield thanks largely to our effort. A huge difference was that we did not put their defence under enough pressure. Surely it would have been a good opportunity to bring on Onibuje, especially after the Wolves equaliser.

Re: vs Poodles
 

I was telling Jase at the Everton match that I thought we should sign Fola, and he said "Yes, but will he play". I thought it was a strange comment at the time, but now I know what he was getting at. Could have been our match winner? Hope he won't go the same way as so many others we have let slip through our fingers annoyingly.

Re: vs Poodles
 

i agree aswell thought the whole team played good, could find no faults, bobby grant played very well to say hes only young in a big stadium and more than 1000 fans! i think rocky played well all the defence did! it was harsh sending him off on the last minute of extra time but thats football and he did get a big round of applose from the stanley fans so that showed what we thought of his performance! i think fola should of been brought on with the height! we could of just whipped crosses over to him in box and maybe he would of beat the keeper with the header but who knows! hope we can play many more games like that. if we do than i can see no reason why we should not be mid-table

roll on saturday!!!

Re: vs Poodles
 

Woo hoo - 5 goals for 85 grand - quite a return eh :rolleyes:

Re: vs Poodles
 

To be fair, Craney did a hell of a lot of running on Tuesday night. I still think that he has to recapture the quality that he had in the past, but in terms of his effort levels, they were at maximum the other night.

Re: vs Poodles
 

Good to hear that TM, but may I say it's about time he started putting some effort in, lets hope he's now turned a corner :)

Re: vs Poodles
 

No it was Reid wasn't it?

As Rotherham are home to Wolves my other team Wednesday could have been at home to Stanley next round had Tuesday gone differently.

What a dilemma that would have been.

Re: vs Poodles
 

I think Toddy got an equalizer in the penalty shoot out.

Re: vs Poodles
 

Thought you guys played really well on tuesday night. I found it refreshing to see a team come to Molineux, play some decent football and attack rather than all 11 men behind the ball.

If you play like that for the majority of your games this season then i'm sure promotion would be on the cards.

Good luck for the rest of the season.

Re: vs Poodles
 

the players where brilliant.

100% effort.

Re: vs Poodles
 

The fact they thrashed Sheffield Wednesday 4-1 over 90 minutes today emphasises the excellence of Stanley's performance over 90 and 120 minutes.

9 years ago Sheffield were in the Prem and Stanley were in the second tier of the Northern Prem.
