Disappointing that. Fancied us for a win today. Roll on Lincoln.

Re: Macc v Stanley Matchday Thread
 

Clean sheet and a point away from home. Every little helps. Well done Reds.

Thanks Dan.

Re: Macc v Stanley Matchday Thread
 

Last update from me kids.

Coley says it "feels like a defeat"

And Luke Joyce update - he's suffering from a dead leg and will be assessed by the medical staff ahead of Tuesday.

Hopefully there'll be a match report on the website tonight - I'll try to keep you updated on Tuesday at Sincil Bank.

Hope this has helped!

Re: Macc v Stanley Matchday Thread
 

This was a good match thread, well done Dan.
The Macclesfield number 5 had a brilliant game, in almost every attack of ours he was there.

Re: Macc v Stanley Matchday Thread
 

A very dissapointing day

A vey poor game, we were found wanting in every department today which probably follows on from Tuesday's tubbing.

Macclesfield were poor and were there for the taking but not nearly enough invention from the Red's with the ball spending far too long in the air, passing going astray, no cutting edge up front although to be fair there was no service through the middle or out wide.

I do hope this is a minor blip for Stanley but alarm bells were ringing for me last Saturday even though we beat the Shrimps

At the moment there is no natural width to the team that must change, we have players who can change that unfortunately they are bit part players at the moment.

It was nice to see Chris Turner get on for the final eight minutes and without being too harsh he created more in that time than the other two did in their combined time on the pitch.

All is not lost there is still plenty to play for but the rot has to stop before the wheels really do come off.

On Stanley On

Re: Macc v Stanley Matchday Thread
 

having listened to King Coley and Darren Kempson on Radio Lancs after the match, both have said this felt like a defeat, However, lets have the positives, did not concede a goal and gained a point. Win on Tuesday could easily take us back up to the play off positions although we cannot now make the auto promotion places with our games in hand. The futures bright, the futures Stanley.

Re: Macc v Stanley Matchday Thread
 

G.I. Kempson alongside Phil had their usual heart's on sleeves performances the shining lights in an ultimately dull affair

Re: Macc v Stanley Matchday Thread
 

Agreed very dull game indeed. We are missing that Grant/ Symes spark up front, Symes looks absolutely knackered in my opinion and could do with a rest.

Maybe start with Kee & Grant at Lincoln???

Great to see Turner get on at the end, surely he must get more game time now he has proved his fitness.

Miles & Mcconville VERY average yet again for me im afraid. :(
We have NO width when they play.

Strange 1 to drop Bouza, he has been brilliant and only made 1 mistake.

But all in all a draw was a fair result.

Re: Macc v Stanley Matchday Thread
 

oh and Jimmy Ryan was yet again brilliant IMO.

Re: Macc v Stanley Matchday Thread
 

I agree Symes looked very tired even at the start of the game. A weeks rest could do him good. I feel Turner should have been introduced sooner as McConville was having a nightmare AGAIN and Turner looked sharp when he came on. Mc Conville was weak and could'nt even do the basics. Why is he starting games? No-one has mentioned what a star Edwards was. Man of the match for Accy IMO. Lets hope there's a shake up for Tuesday we need to get back to winning ways as the playoffs could easily slip away.

Re: Macc v Stanley Matchday Thread
 

Let's not forget Bav's wonderful save to deny their no.9 late on when he seemed odds on to score. Have to agree about Turner, who within seconds of coming on made a great tackle, made a good run and put across a great centre. I think we would have won if we had started with the finishing eleven. Not great today but 100% better than Tuesday neet!

Re: Macc v Stanley Matchday Thread
 

MOM - Dunbavin
Runner Up - Grant

Worst player - Lees
Runner Up - Miles

we where the better team but Macclesfield had the best chance. Scrappy affair.

Re: Macc v Stanley Matchday Thread
 

Agreed Lees had a poor game.

Problem is he is a natural center back and we are expecting a wing back performance which I dont think hes capable of doing at the moment.

Re: Macc v Stanley Matchday Thread
 

IMHO Turner was one of the players of last season, and could be the new signing we need and the unknow quantity for the final push needed. Just hope tiredness and the rumours unsettling the club don't get in the way!!!

Re: Macc v Stanley Matchday Thread
 

Dull game really, symes never turned up, he may be tired or whatever and could do wiv a rest. I have never rated mcconville personally and turner proved in 20 second half minutes today hes a lot more worth a startin place than he is...
