First time I've seen us this season. Getting dangerously over-excited now! :D

Re: Friendlies
Enjoyed the game today and the first half we set our stall out by pressing the ball all over the field and burnley in the first 15 minutes couldn't cope with it.
The squad has competion for places over the team,Crookes and Coonelly were excellent,but Barry and Proccy will be pressing them,There's nothing between the keepers,there's at least eight players who could comfortably play in the back four positions ,so as they say "game on"!!!! |

Re: Friendlies
Great performance by all of the Stanley players used today!!!
I thought that the set up of the starting eleven looked really well balanced and we seemed to fill every square inch of the pitch early on. Burnley could not cope with Josh Windass who has enhanced his reputaion further with a super performance against players from a higher level. I agree with earlier posters that Crooks was superb!........He could be Stanleys version of "Ja Ja".......Big and strong in midfield.........covered lots of ground.........tackled well.........his passing was excellent and incisive....... and........he SCORED TWO GOALS!!:alright: It was great to see that we now have some height in our back four but also that the bigger lads have some skill too.:s_gupjump Burnley had more possession from twenty minutes up to seventy minutes but I was particularly pleased to see us finishing the game with strength and on the front foot. We deserved the fourth goal which capped a marvellous display and a fully deserved win for the boys in RED.:theband: Well done to John, Jimmy and the players. This should give them all confidence as the real matches get closer!:Banane35: ON STANLEY ON:wave8: |

Re: Friendlies
St.Juste? Not sure - just wonder how much difference he can make? Crooksy I can see becoming a firm fans favourite & predict he'll be top scorer & will sweep the board at the end of season awards, he just seems so determined to make amends for his mistakes last season, bless 'im - he'll do for me.
Decent crowd on today but it's usually a higher gate v Burnley in our pre-season friendlies with them - we're always outnumbered but makes me wonder how many of our own had an issue with the testimonial, not saying Coley & Jimmy shouldn't have one just that the timing could've been better - just a thought |
Re: Friendlies
All looking good to me. Just had a tenner on at 80/1 for the league and a tenner at 25/1 for promotion. Easy money. Seems ridiculous odds of 9/2 to go down.
They've only been wrong 9 years running. |
Re: Friendlies
I was due to ring in for tickets to the Blackpool game tomorrow, but will have to delay it if there is a chance it will be cancelled. Do we know when the decision will be made ?

Re: Friendlies
Nice comment on the Clarets forum:-
"Let's give Stanley some credit here, they were awesome today and would have given Barcelona a game on that form. Dark horses for the FA Cup perhaps?" Read more at Stanley v Burnley - Burnley FC forum from footymad.net |
Re: Friendlies
Awesome's the right word too. At last we have a team that's strong in every department. This is going to be an exciting season and I just hope the local public responds.

Competition for places is key,which makes training high tempo and in turn (hopefully) our performances improve week on week. Lets not forget its a new ,relativity young,inexperienced team,so we will only get better when they get used to playing the way Coley wants. |

Be warned these updates are done by the fans & are hopelessly and cheerfully biased. If you are on twitter then follow the #safclive hashtag which is updated whenever anything of note happens by the local press and those at the game. |
Re: Friendlies
I have to say watching the Burnley game, I think we will have a devil of a job to pick a first eleven, fair play to JC and JB for the signings and keeping the faith with Matt Crooks. I think we are in for a good season. I would hope we can increase the gate by winning well and keeping the supporters coming through the gates.

Re: Friendlies
To be honest i always thought crooks wasn't a bad un, just no-way a main striker.
