Who's Ross Lloyd? No sign of him on the player profiles, but there has been a guy warming up before kick-off who I don't recognise.

Accrington Stanley target Leeds United starlet (From Lancashire Telegraph)

it's here, he just needs to sign the contract so its proberly him! dont know why its taking long though

Re: vs Northampton
 

Accrington manager John Coleman was furious with the result, especially as he felt his side should have earned something from their second-half endeavours.

"I thought we completely dominated the second half," said Coleman. "But if you don't take you chances then you don't deserve anything and we didn't take our chances."

Well last night was the first match I have been able to make and if I had been one of the floating fans I don't think I would be in a rush to return as I thought the whole thing seemed to smack of disorganised chaos/panic.. although as others have said you can tell Northampton have played in a higher league.. neither team were really special and at the end I just felt disappointed... not so much the loss (although that always grates) but because of all the wonderful things I had been hearing about the way we had played in previous matches.

Roll on next match and pray it was just a blip due to tiredness from so many matches so early on in the season when they are still trying to get their match fitness up

Re: vs Northampton
 

Drop the b*****s who missed the chances then, Coley!

Re: vs Northampton
 

Just a few things...

With regards to Chris Turner I think Coley is doing the right thing and not throwing him in at the deep end; he will be nursed into a solid and confident League footballer. As far as the options up front go the strongest pairing we have is Kee and Mullin. I think King is a back-up player and I really don't see the sense in signing Symes. The goal against Grimsby away last season worked well where Symes & Turner linked up but other than that I can't think of a time when Michael impressed enough to earn a contract. Against Northampton both (an unfit) Kee and (a mauled) Mullin suffered from a lack of decent play by the defence and midfield. We played too deep which granted an average side their three goals. If we'd have played 3-5-2 and played further up the field in an attacking mentality I'm sure the result would've been different, if not the other way around. But what do I know.

When all's said and done I hope this game will be a wake up call to the team and we'll do much better against the 'Shots.

Re: vs Northampton
 

Disagree shaker about Turner, his displays last season surely warranted at the very least a kick, see what yer saying about nursing him, but he aint had a bloody kick, old pros always used to say, if yer good enough, yer old enough.

Re: vs Northampton
 

Chris'll get his due chance to shine, there's no worry about that. Coley gets the best out of players that grace the Crown a great majority of the time.

Lindfield's contract with Liverpool has been cancelled by mutual consent.

Re: vs Northampton
 

I know what you are saying about Turner, but he has played well in last seasons games and has the ability to play well again. If Coley is taking the gentle approach then at least give him some time on the pitch... :eek: :)

Re: vs Northampton
 

who's the number 19?

Re: vs Northampton
 

Michael Symes
