Yeovil replay thread
 
To coin a local sides phrase, do we 'dare to dream' .
I think it will be tough but as our manager has put it in the past,
'I believe'!
Let's hope injuries to procky and Atkinson are healing well.
At least we did the right thing saturday putting our strongest side out getting the valuable 3 points and a confidence boost for this mega game.

This is the biggest game since Stanley returned to the league in my opinion, fer whats on offer if we do em, Both sides will be well up fer this,we gotta make sure its us that triumphs.:)

An insentive ( not sure how to spell it ) eg £ 1,000 to each team member if we win. I am sure they will do their best and good luck to them all.

I honestly don't think they will need a bonus incentive.( Still give it them anyway :) ). For those players to be playing in the FA Cup 3rd Round against Man Utd is the best incentive there is. Means as much to them as it does to the fans

Agree completely, whilst no motivation at all will be needed, our very low wages in comparison to others, given our crap resources, the lads would deserve it fer doing the job.;)

Re: Yeovil replay thread
 
Playing United is same for both Yeovil and Stanley , we need to be more motivated than them . That's why I suggest £1000 each for a win.

Due to circumstances beyond our control there's no live text commentary from Yeovil tonight but there will be extensive Facebook and Twitter updates and there's full commentary on BBC Radio Lancashire (online here from kick off BBC Sport - Live - Yeovil v Accrington commentary)

Neither goal looked like the keepers fault. The first looked like a foul on the keeper and the second looked like poor marking in the box.

chevyfire 16-12-2014 20:59

Re: Yeovil replay thread
 
First half even game felt we played the ball a bit long, second half Stanley took control with McCartney and windows running effectively at there defence and looked more likely, until mccarten hit bar and crooks missed the follow up.(how did he miss). They then score and as we attack for equaliser are caught out. If only we could have a 20 goal a season goalscorer!

Re: Yeovil replay thread
 
Odd decision come and punch there, left him wide open even if there wasn't contact from the forward, plus you get less protection outside the 6 yard box anyway.

However itt had to be decided some how, and it was a great finish.

Firstly, well done to all that travelled, on what is a horrific journey to do on a Tuesday night.

The dream is over, and by the sounds of it, listening to radio lancs Crooks yet again had an absolute nightmare. How on earth does he have a golden ticket to play every week?? The 3 or 4 games I have seen, he really has been appalling and yet he seems to start?? Is he another John Miles or Mcconville??? One of Coleman's favourites when clearly not good enough.... By the sounds and looks of it the answer is yes......... :(

I bet Carver and Gray are over the moon!

I cannot wait to hear the reports from people who went.

Roll on Wycombe on Saturday then............ :S

Re: Yeovil replay thread
 
Absolute joke. Lets be honest Yeovil are a very poor team, there for the taking and we will never have a better chance of reaching a massive 3rd round draw than this.

Poor performance. Wrong team selection, wrong substitutions went a long way to us losing this game.

John Coleman do the right thing and admit you messed up.

Crooks not good enough, Windass not good enough, carver deservedly dragged at half time, moly different player since he came back.

John Coleman tactical genius!!! My 4rse

Lets see what a genius he is when all his loan rangers go back.

So p1ssed off I can't believe it.

Re: Yeovil replay thread
 
Just seen video of both goals ... The defending was appalling ... stanley players need to up their games if they want to win .. All I could see what they were just not marking yeovil at all .....
Which Stanley players should have scored apart from Crooks ?? I'll be interested to know .. I feel for goalie as been a night mare for him with that nearly own goal slip and punch the ball that got scored !! Played well for 80 mins ... good effort ...

I agree with every word Smudgie.

I seriously question Coleman's judgement tonight. Taking Carver off and leaving Crooks on was a completely bizarre decision. Crooks has been consistently bad since he played his first game for Stanley, what makes him The Golden Boy? It will be very interesting indeed to hear from the faithful 176 what their opinions are of tonight. I'm seriously tempted to walk off the ground on Saturday if Crooks walks out onto the pitch at 2:55.

It sounded like the others gave 100% tonight, they have been let down in my opinion, it's not them to blame at all.

Harsh by you lots .. ���� 100 per cent by players ..... not if they let goals in by terrible defending ... to win. It's about scoring and defending ... not one of five stanley players marked the Yeovil who collided with goalie or Gillette who scored ..... shay had three chances to score.

Come off it Missa. We are not blaming Crooks for failing to put away so many golden chances to score since he arrived - well not completely, even though you would have bet on our no.5 to have scored some of them. It's the manager's stubbornness for continuing to select him when it's blindingly obvious he's not the answer to our cf. problem which gets us agitated.

Gray still our top scorer and ain't had a sniff under Coleman shows what the other forwards have been like.

Naismith on his day our most creative also doesn't get a chance even when were struggling for a goal.

Re: Yeovil replay thread
 
Just back from the game. Lads really put a shift in tonight and with 15 minute left there only looked like being one winner. Moly changed the game when he came on and had em running back to their own goal and how crooks missed I'll never know.

Their first was one you could see coming as soon as the cross came in. I just knew he was going to punch it. Fair old finish though to be fair.

Back up for Wycombe game at the weekend and back to chasing the play offs.

Good game, no complaints, just not our night.

Stanley fans were amazing tonight.

Revived Red 16-12-2014 23:31

Re: Yeovil replay thread
 
Also just back. We dominated the second half. It is difficult to find words to describe Crooks' performance. Abysmal doesn't even begin. I can recall him winning only one header - and that ballooned straight into the air. He cannot control the ball. Please don't try to excuse him by saying he is playing out of position. There are certain requirements for a footballer in any position - he has none of these.

Right, that's off my chest. Next one. Our keeper. I thought he was at fault for both Pompey's goals on Saturday - and his weak punch out tonight was almost identical to the one which gifted Pompey a goal. And for goodness sake don't blame Tom Aldred for that near own goal. It was a straightforward head back to the keeper. What on earth was the keeper thinking about rushing out like that? He was already outside his area - was he planning to handle the ball? To foul the Yeovil player? Had he stayed where he should have been, there was no problem. Again he did the same thing at Pompey.

OK, that's most of the negatives out of the way. I too thought it was the wrong team selection and wrong substitutions.

There were lots of positives. Despite what missastrike may think, I thought the back four played well. The second Yeovil goal was irrelevant - we had lost our shape by then in an effort to try to get the equaliser. Proccy and Luke Joyce controlled midfield especially in the 2nd half. Marcus Carver was unlikely to get any support from the dough ball supposed to be feeding him. Shay was always a threat when running at the defence, as was Piero before he was subbed.

And I certainly agree about the fans. Great support tonight.

That's out and out ridiculous. Yeovil were miles better than Pompey, their forwards quicker and trickier but we did a good job to hold them in the first half and bossed the second up to the last 10 minutes. We had a hard game on Saturday while they had a stroll in the (boundary) park. Ultimately disappointing, sure, but if you can't take some pride in that performance, I don't know why you bother.

winstanley asfc 17-12-2014 01:28

Re: Yeovil replay thread
 
Do any of you think that if John O'Sullivan had been playing last night he might have swung it in our favour? Blackburn could have let him forfeit his right to play for them in the cup this year,giving him the chance to play against the mancs and gain experience but they chose not to, saving him just in case they might need to recall him to be used as a last 5 minutes substitute in further rounds. If only Huddersfield thought the same of their loan players!

Now that the disappointment has worn off,let's have a reality check !!,
We've come within ten minutes of getting a result,away from home,against a team who won 4-0 away from home last Saturday and were in the championship last season.
Was never going to be easy,and it sounds like we give it a real go in testing conditions.
Recent results suggest we've been doing well and creating chances,I would be more worried if we hadn't !!.
Coley likes to play with one up top,,who has a presence,and runners off him,upto last night,we had scored 10 in 5 games and creating numerous others.
Crooke certainly has a presence and I really feel for him as the ball just won't go in the net.
Liverpool are paying 50k a week to a player with the same problem !!.
As long as we are creating chances and getting results,I am not really bothered who scores.
We will find out on Saturday,how far we have come since coley came back,despite the recent long journeys,I suspect he will have them fired up !! KTF

Recent results suggest we've been doing well and creating chances,I would be more worried if we hadn't !!.
Coley likes to play with one up top,,who has a presence,and runners off him,upto last night,we had scored 10 in 5 games and creating numerous others.
Crooke certainly has a presence and I really feel for him as the ball just won't go in the net.
Liverpool are paying 50k a week to a player with the same problem !!.
As long as we are creating chances and getting results,I am not really bothered who scores.
We will find out on Saturday,how far we have come since coley came back,despite the recent long journeys,I suspect he will have them fired

a fair statement ..positive attitude ..

Right my 2 pennorth, Was only one team looked like winning last night until 10/12 mins before the end, The turning point to me a terrible miss once again, by a lad who is never gonna be a striker, I may have NO coaching qualifications, But i aint stupid.:rolleyes: The song "Super Johnny Coleman" is a ruddy Joke, once that miss occurred Yeovil took the bull by the horns, Thought unlike Frank Moody we were a different team once Windass came on Him n McCarten really moved the ball well,and quicker, Marcus was ineffective and suspect he picked up a knock early doors when his shot was quickly blocked? Looked that way to me?

Another part of the reality is that we could and should have won last night. I do agree with the positivity, f19, (and I did say in my comments that there were "lots of positives") but ....
How many of those 10 goals in 5 games have been crafted by Crooks? I agree that he has a presence, but so does Nelson's Column. The only difference is that one moves and the other doesn't. There is little to choose between them in football ability. It is not just a question of the ball not going in the net. He cannot win headers even against defenders not as tall as he is; he cannot trap and control the ball; he cannot pass to a team mate; and he is far too easily outmuscled, especially for a player of his size. Why on earth did our management team persist with him for 90 minutes last night? :confused:

Cashy,that's my point !!,Coley maybe sacrificing an out and out goal scorer for a player who fits the system (ie 3 attackers behind a focal point).
Not many teams have a "20 goal a season" player playing on his own up top.
A lot of work Crookes goes un-noticed,particularly when we are defending (Big Kay was the same).
Hes getting in the right areas,just not getting the results.
IMO hes the best player for the system we have,but not the best finisher by a country mile , who would be a manager :)

Only second time I've seen Crooks and I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt after Pompey, but agree with Revived Red. It's not that he managed to miss an open goal that was the heart of the problem last night of his selection, but because he appeared to have little or no ball control.

But I thought Yeovil did a 'Satanage' last night, exemplified by the barge on the goalkeeper for their first goal. Jumping sideways into young Rose was just one incident that the ref nor myopic linesman noticed. They harried, and hassled every Stanley players anywhere on the pitch. As soon as anyone in red received or were about to receive the ball, they were challenged, fairly or not. Having said that, Stanley did not disgrace themselves, or the fantastic supporters who got behind them from before the kick off. I thought Joyce in particular played his heart out, and they all did their best, but they just didn't create enough clear chances.
And when Crooks missed what looked like the best chance from the rebound from McCartan's shot, it was almost inevitable what would happen.

Well, each to his own, but as a chant, it's ours, it's simple, everybody knows it and it's clean :) .... so what's not to like? :D

They don't make more noise in Accy library, either, at least they didn't use to, but kids today, who knows?

RR, I understand what your saying,but the reality is hes a young lad just starting,and hes on his own up top,against two first division defenders (four of his games).
Why is is not on loan at a club higher up the pyrimid??.
The truth is we can only afford rough diamonds,some polish up,some don't.
Who would you play in his place?,not many options.

Disagree F19, to me Coleman is persisting with the lad cos he will not hold his hand up n say i was wrong, simple as, No-one will convince me he dont know a striker when he sees one.cos he wasn't a bad un himself Its Pig headed persistence in my view. I wasn't at pompey on sat, but seems the lad had his best showing when moved back to midfield, according to people that were there. By playing him as a striker in the 2 yeovil matches in both games its cost us the Man U tie.:(

Justin Jackson, Jack Sampson, James Alabi........ A few names that ring a bell, that also didn't work out.

Nothing personal against the lad, but he is simply not the answer.

Its all well and good ""getting into the area's" F19 but if you cant do anything when you actually get the ball what's the point??? By that analyst picking Mo Farah as a winger is about right?!?!? He will run all bloody day....... Absolutely ridiculous statement as usual.

If Marcus, Gray and Bowerman are all not up to it.....Anyone got Terry Gornell's number???

Still gutted! And fuming !
