Planning ahead for the guess the gate there Mr Harris ? :)

At least with the Bratford game it'll be +2 ;)

My personal thoughts, are if we get off to flyer,That would happen.

Re: Stanley sent to Coventry
 

I think that's right. It looks like he's got some good young players. It could be an interesting season, and hopefully a successful one.

Re: Stanley sent to Coventry
 

Me and Cashy both have a tenner on at 100/1 for Stanley to lift the championship, so it better be! :D ;)

Re: Stanley sent to Coventry
 

Quite enjoyed yesterday decent workout against good opposition which always helps, hard to judge players overall although Karl Sheppard looked to have a good touch and took his goal well and great too see Podge back:)

We did look a little suspect at the back with a few soft goals conceded but again we have a little bit more depth to the squad to change things if needed.

I hope we put our strongest team out on Wednesday night as I think game time is now crucial to gel the players before next Saturday.

Re: Stanley sent to Coventry
 

To be fair I thought acci dominated the game for the first 20 mins,fullbacks joining in,midfield moving the ball around,playing a high line and pressing the ball.We were dealing with there big man,little man up front and they were just playing the long ball game.
Turning point really ,was dean turning his ankle and the 10 minute period after,in which we went 3-0 down before we regained our shape and composure
Once we settled again,we once again played ok,but the game was gone.
Young lads learn from these things and we were more than a match for Coventry.
Sheppard did ok,and molyneux did well (always rated him) at left back.
I am very positive about the way we are playing,although I feel there won't be many draws this season,it will be a win or loss!!!

Re: Stanley sent to Coventry
 

Pendle, I hope we don't lose sight of Wednesday's game,which is a reserve team cup final.It will be against utds youngsters so I would definitely play our fringe players to give them a opportunity to impress the gaffer,and stake a claim for a first team shirt,in front of a decent crowd.
I know it's a cup final,but we shouldn't get carried away----then again,everyone likes beating utd !

Re: Stanley sent to Coventry
 

Hope dinos injury aint nowt to be too concerned about?:eek:

Re: Stanley sent to Coventry
 

He just landed funny and should have come off straight away,but young lads sometimes have no sense,and tried to run it off.Think he forgot he's had a major opp on it !,
Competition for places all over the park sometimes make players make daft calls,but then again he's just daft

![/QUOTE

I missed something here think - who's Molyneux?

Re: Stanley sent to Coventry
 

Lee molyneux came on at left back.Came through evertons academy at the same time as dean.
Sure he played at youth level for England.
Went to Southampton,but I think his career just stalled.
Unbelievable left foot,and a dead ball expert.
Was one tipped for the top,but think things went a bit pear shaped..

Re: Stanley sent to Coventry
 

Cooky will have learnt more from yesterdays game by getting beat than the ones they have won.

I'm never convinced by going through pre-season winning every game, false sense of security going in to the first serious game and end up getting tonked. Best to learn now then when there are no points at stake :)

Re: Stanley sent to Coventry
 

Only there for last 25 minutes yesterday but was suprised to see the back 4 of Coventry seemed to consist of 4 members of the USA basketball team :D
