Team

Stanley v Burton: Davies, Atkinson, Crooks, Jones, Naismith, Joyce, Maguire, Procter, Mingoia, Windass, Gornell

Looks like 5 3 2

Re: Burton Match Thread
 

1 0 to burton, penalty after Atkinson hand ball..... Proccy subbed early as well with Connelly into midfield - we don't have much quality cover for central midfield

Re: Burton Match Thread
 

Only difference between the top side n us, is the fact they finished their chances,imho, Proccy was injured in a very late tackle after 8 mins n the ref NEVER even spoke to the guy ridiculous imho. The 3 goals came from 3 mistakes 1 Atkinson stuck his hand up to a cross hed failed to head, Penalty Goal1, Later Crooks who had a good game, tried to be too clever n gave the ball away result led to Goal 2, game over, then McCarten gave ball away result Goal 3, Coneely came on fer Proccy, still aint figured out why as he was hopeless, Hunty n Liddle were on bench,:rolleyes:

Re: Burton Match Thread
 

Coley signed him, but not the other two. Simple.

Re: Burton Match Thread
 

Yer probably right, never even thought of that, Stupid sod i am.:o Mcguire missed n open goal wi the keeper no-where in the goal. would have made one hell of difference in my view if he had netted.

Re: Burton Match Thread
 

First away game for a few weeks and came way really disappointed at the performance (not the result - don't expect much going away to top of league).

Team selection and subs again questionable, I appreciate the genius wants his 'own' players in but surely it's his job is to use all his assets whether he actually likes them if not, for the good of the team?

Re: Burton Match Thread
 

Missed the game today,didn't expect anything but has Piero dislocated his shoulder?,if so it's a massive blow

Re: Burton Match Thread
 

Dunno it looked like he hurt it, but he continued n fer me was our most dangerous player once again.

Re: Burton Match Thread
 

Top player with a big heart as well !!,need to get him signed up for next season

Re: Burton Match Thread
 

It is a dislocated shoulder Colemans just said in his video. Agree wi him about the Burton fans, was bang out of order continuing to boo piero after he continued.:( Hope hes playing tuesday, think today will be put well behind us if he picks the right team.

Re: Burton Match Thread
 

It's a few years since I've been to Burton, in fact it was their old ground when we won the Peter Swailes trophy the season before we got promoted from the Unibond - wasn't impressed with their fans then & today hasn't changed my opinion of them one jot.
The score line definitely flattered Albion today, hope Proccy's injury isn't too bad but how their player got off scot free for it I'll never know

Re: Burton Match Thread
 

QED:mad:

Re: Burton Match Thread
 

The little fat liner had a much better view than the ref n never even flagged it.:mad:

Re: Burton Match Thread
 

Funny, that. According to the Burton forum the ref had a good game! Proves he was a "homer".

Re: Burton Match Thread
 

I have another word fer him. They would say that seeing they got clean away wi crippling 2 of our lads.:(

Re: Burton Match Thread
 

I have listened to JC after match interview in which he holds his hands up for the mistakes we made butthen he said we can't finish our chances. Did we just not let our top striker go out on loan to Northampton??? If your had the best interest of the club at heart John, You would recall James grey immediately and play him upfront with Terry Gornall. There are noticeable experienced people being left on the bench. Come clean John you allow a grudge against players who disagree with your tactics to be forced out. you need to get a grip and realise you and the club are in no position to lose the talent we have. So put the club first. It has become obvious that you have written off the season . Your choice of players have not performed as we all had hoped. so back to the drawing board and start with a clean sheet and forget your prejudices, I am fully behind the club, team and Manager. But I reserve the right to make my feelings known and I am prepared to have them challenged on this forum or face to face. After all we all have an opinion.

Re: Burton Match Thread
 

I have thought about commenting on the game today but at the game last Saturday it was brought to my attention that my post match posts seem to start with "I've been on the bevvy all day but...." so I might wait until tomorrow.

Nah, I've been on the bevvy most of the day and still haven't made it any further north than Preston but, in my opinion we were unlucky for large parts of today. The penalty was needless and I've no idea what Atkinson was doing but that was the only way they looked like scoring.

As it transpired they got another two but they looked like individual mistakes rather than poor tactics.

Yes, we might have done better with different players but we could also have done better with the ones we used with a bit more luck.

I'm no Coley disciple or hater but I wouldn't blame him for today.

I'd say we are safe and that will do me this season despite the fact the missus keeps reminding me stevenage are above us even though she was cheering Stanley today

Re: Burton Match Thread
 

Didn't go to the game today so cant comment too much but when Proc goes off, I presumed he would have put Coneeley at the back and push Crooks into CM to get a bit of presence.

People saying bring Nicky Hunt or Liddle on, Where do you play them? in CM to replace Proccy?

Re: Burton Match Thread
 

Re: Burton Match Thread
 

Mr.Buxton is another, RR.

Re: Burton Match Thread
 

Just watched the goals and everyone could and should have been dealt with.
Dont know what Rob was thinking as the new lad was behind him and would probably cleared it,or at least challenged.
The second was just experience,if you lose the ball on the half way line,dont go to ground as the lad still has to carry it a fair distance.
At 6-6 your not going to spring back up !!.
The second and third we just didn't engage them early enough and give them "thinking time".
Good news is there all fixable mistakes and by all accounts we played well so its bring on wycombe on Tuesday !!

Re: Burton Match Thread
 

Buxton wasn't even on the bench still injured?:confused: or another the master didn't sign?:rolleyes:

Re: Burton Match Thread
 

Hes had a nightmare with injuries Cashy.
It doesn't help not having reserves or 21s to get him match fit.
its a tricky one as technically hes as good as anybody,and his strength is attacking,so you have to be fit to get back !
Coleys teams are ultra fit,(watch the warm ups!!).
Seen a few talented lads whose bodies just cant cope with what levels of fitness is required and drift out the pro game.
i hope Adams not one of them and only returns when he can showcase his talent.

Re: Burton Match Thread
 

I watch the warm ups, also the subs warming up at half time, Whats obvious to me is all the other teams usually have trainers on wi em ours rarely if ever do. in fact half time yesterday our subs were just kicking the ball round to each other, Burtons subs had 2 trainers wi em instructing. that seems to be the norm:rolleyes:

Re: Burton Match Thread
 

I have to agree with cashman that our warm up routine is not good. We should have trainers and physios on during warm up sessions, I don't know if we do warm down sessions either as they are just as important. I am an Adam Buxton fan, when he is on the attack we are good, he is a cut above some of our other players in terms of reading the game. I am not a Coley lover or hater I am sure he does do the best he can for the club. I am not convinced the board are pulling their weight. I still maintain we should have a home crowd of at least 2000 at home games. We do need some creative ways of thinking to bring people back to us. We are surrounded by too many higher division clubs. I said previously that within 1 Hours drive from Accrington how many football clubs can you list???

Re: Burton Match Thread
 

This has been said and what can the club do! I think it's impossible for us to have 2000 every home game unless we are in the playoffs, like last time, too many big teams around! Id love nothing more than to see 2000 fans cheering on the lads but realisticly it will not happen! I like Buxton also and hope he does come back stronger and in the side, think gray should be back with us playing alongside gornell but that will never happen! Am a coley fan with what he's done for the club but lots of things changed since he was last here and just not working at the moment

Re: Burton Match Thread
 

If you watch yesterday's post-match interview with Professor Coleman (which I was pleased to see/hear was a little more upbeat than some recent ones) you'll see some of Stanley's players warming down.
Unless they were the unused subs trying to get warmed-up for the bus ride home!;)
