Wycombe One Up Front Match Thread
 

Kee on his tod up front. Zanzala dropped.
Might just work with that midfield dominating them?

Re: Wycombe One Up Front Match Thread
 

Men v Boys. Should be out of sight. Goal feast coming up in the second half.

Re: Wycombe One Up Front Match Thread
 

Not happy with that tonight

So called captain needs to be dropped asap appalling performance once again

Re: Wycombe One Up Front Match Thread
 

What can you say?? At least Dick Turpin wore a mask!!! :(

Re: Wycombe One Up Front Match Thread
 

We played well went up after 15 minutes their goalkeeper pulled of some worldies we missed some chanches then started to lose midfield were to be honest Conneely is shockingly slow at this level then we ran out of ideas up front and it was crying out for a change and personally I thought Ainsworth won the touchline battle tonight as Coleman yet again reluctant to change things till its to late.

Re: Wycombe One Up Front Match Thread
 

Not had the best luck in the last 2 but 11 point clear and 2nd v league 2 club in FACC would have been more than welcome at this stage before the season started.

Re: Wycombe One Up Front Match Thread
 

We are on are usual bad late autumn run of form. And luck as so happen in these situation deserts you. Created plenty of good chances. Enough to have won the game comfortably. But Wycombe kept battling went abit more usual Wycombe direct second half although never looked like scoring but took there chances well when they arrived.
I thought kee was better tonight upfront on his own with Finley, Clark and mcconville buzzing around and moving the ball well. Ikhweke despite are defences recent inability to keep clean sheets looks a good player at league one level. Hopefully the two cup games can get us back winning again.

Didn’t see that one coming! Jesus, what a shocker.
Don’t think they did much wrong apart from collectively just dropped half a gear second half, the great chances of the first half became rarer and the inevitable happened.
Billy did link up with the midfield pretty well but his goal tally from open play this year must be cause for concern? Think he’s only got two. Mainly he’s not getting chances - although tonight he had a couple and was unlucky with the one that hit the bar.
Clark isn’t quite causing as many problems for defences and I think it’s clear that Zanzala will give defences a tough time but he’s no Kayden Jackson. Conneely needs a couple of games to sharpen up, although he’s never going to displace Finley or Barlaser.
The positives? Sean had a more lively game tonight. Our passing was really good at times....Thought Barlaser shaded MOTM.

All in all though, a real downer. Reminded me of Stevenage away last season. Poor crowd, cold.

Re: Wycombe One Up Front Match Thread
 

Crowd was 1,790. Blimey, I thought it was more like 1,300.
Specsavers appointment required.

Re: Wycombe One Up Front Match Thread
 

I must say the Wycombe fans on their forum and Twitter sound a really nice lot! Almost feel pleased for them that they won.

The players that impressed their fans were Finley, Sean and Clark.

Re: Wycombe One Up Front Match Thread
 

I thought first half we hammered em easily,second half we did not start as well, thought Wycome put 2 subs on and changed their shape,and began to get well on top, Did we do anything to counter the new shape? NO we kept on the same,in fact we only put a sub on when they equalized,:rolleyes: our captain has been back for two games, i dont think for 1 min he is a Div1 standard player,Coley for me has too many Favourites, the simple fact no plan B was used says much about his tactics. it reminds me of Teresa May.:(unless he changes quickly we are gonna end up having a long hard season imho.

Re: Wycombe One Up Front Match Thread
 

Have to say i have always thought Wycomes fans are ok, having been down yon a coulpe of times.;)

Re: Wycombe One Up Front Match Thread
 

team that made 3 subs in good time 3 points. team that only made one later on 0 points.

Re: Wycombe One Up Front Match Thread
 

[QUOTE=cashman;1219926],Coley for me has too many Favourites, the simple fact no plan B was used says much about his tactics.

said on he radio he had picked his side on sunday for last nights game. hope he takes longer to pick the one for saturday and has a word or two with other managers on how to make substitutions.

Re: Wycombe One Up Front Match Thread
 

More Deja vu ?.

Thought I'd seen the last of this gradual loss of midfield and defensive shape at Rochdale..
a prime example of this being with The Chairboys second goal, where their right-side midfielder ran into the box totally unchallenged and set up the goal !.. No cover at all was offered to Nick by the Golden one, and the goal, which incidentally was well taken, ensued.

Even more Deja vu ?..

Apart from the buzzing around of Sam Finlay, who understandably tired after 70 minutes or so, the contribution from our other midfielder was again very poor, and whatever leadership qualities our Manager seems to think he possesses are seldom if ever on show !.

Even more Deja vu ?.

Where do The Football League find their League 1 Referees ?... it was difficult to understand his behaviour where his decision-making and attitude towards both teams were concerned..
I felt that he was suffering from a degree of self-importance from his posturing which completely affected his value to the game !. Where Do they find 'em??.

Yet more Deja vu !! .

After Rochdale, I suggested that the Roller-Coaster ride might be ready to roll !...
Last night I tentatively took my seat and closed my eyes to the possibility of what might be waiting around the corner !..

ON STANLEY !.. ON TO EVEN GREATER THINGS !!.

Re: Wycombe One Up Front Match Thread
 

Re: Wycombe One Up Front Match Thread
 

when Wycome played all 3 of their subs it stood out a mile they were going to win. coley should have seen this and used all our 3 soon enough to make a chance. Hope sat is better.

Re: Wycombe One Up Front Match Thread
 

We all know Coley likes his team to play a certain way - last season it won us the league.
So where is it going wrong? The stats from last nights game sum up the problem.
60% possession with 15 goal attempts. Final product - 1 goal.
Analyse the stats & the games against Rochdale & Wycombe are ones we should have won with ease.
We're still creating chances but failing to convert enough of them.
For me, our success last season was due largely to the partnership of Kayden Jackson & Billy Kee.
Jackson was lethal at turning any opportunity into a goal, or lay it on a plate for Billy Kee.
This season, we seem to operate with either Kee or Zanzala as lone strikers, against better defences.
Kee's an expert poacher without being creative. Zanzala tries his best but is no Kayden Jackson.
Opponents spend hours analysing ways to prevent us from playing our game.
They know; (a) how we play & (b) which players they'll be up against.
We make it easy for them because for Stanley a+b never changes!
Playing a certain way is fine when your winning, but if it fails you need a Plan B.
Failure isn't fatal, but failure to change might be.

Re: Wycombe One Up Front Match Thread
 

Lord Stiff - yes, Kayden Jackson is probably the most decisive factor. We are better in midfield than last year and as good in defence.

Deja Vu Yonmon? Complaining about refs when we lose. Didn’t think he did too badly. Coleman complained we should have had two penalties. I don’t agree.

Also, I’m not really in agreement with chucking loads of subs on. Generally keeping your best players on the pitch works best.

Re: Wycombe One Up Front Match Thread
 

Only if they are playing well, plus employing a sub with 10 mins to go is nonsense.

Re: Wycombe One Up Front Match Thread
 

Merely a comment on how I assessed the Referees general performance, and the opinion which emerged from this !... ( I doubt that he will go far in his chosen profession, !). But I don't think that I apportioned any blame to him for the defeat ?..
That was entirely down to the factors which Lord S. has outlined so succinctly a couple of posts back, and some which others have so rightly noted

KTF. .

Re: Wycombe One Up Front Match Thread
 

But it wasn't working well from the start of the second half all season Coley has said he has the strongest squad ever assembled by him at Stanley 31 players if you count Tony Warner 6 players out on loan 7 loanees in only 5 can be in squad that leaves 23 available before Rochdale game 1 suspended 2 unfit that leaves just 2 options to change the 18 why then are 6 out on loan is it match practice or does he not rate them good enough ? This to me is nowhere near enough a strong squad at this level January incoming players likely so Saturday is a must win for us and hopefully a money spinning 3rd round tie.

Re: Wycombe One Up Front Match Thread
 

The big fear who isn't here in January as well..........
Hall, Ihiekwe, Anderton I think are high risk.
The two Newcastle lads will stay unless someone comes in from the Championship for Barlaser which I think is unlikely.

Re: Wycombe One Up Front Match Thread
 

Thats your big fear maybe, sure aint mine. no good at all bothering about who will or wont be here, thats life.

Re: Wycombe One Up Front Match Thread
 

I've been assuming that Jordan Clark would be on his way in the New Year given, if I understand it correctly, his contract expires at the end of the season. If he's signed an extension then that's great news, because I think he's a good player (although he too is a tad out of goal scoring form at the moment).
But if Clark's isn't going to stay, better to try and sell him before his contract expires.
Figured that's why Piero was re-recruited.

spot on assesment of a guy who not long ago was refereeing in the counferance north. fast track promotions again for certain individuals and remember the name oldham it may be playing in championship grounds close to you next season.

Re: Wycombe One Up Front Match Thread
 

Strange assumption. The club has a one year option at the end of this season. He's going nowhere unless the club decides to sell.

Re: Wycombe One Up Front Match Thread
 

The two defenders would be a big loss ...... surely you agree with that particularly the left back position. I would buy them both.

Re: Wycombe One Up Front Match Thread
 

They would be a big loss no doubt, but that sorta thing has always happened with Stanley so pointless bothering.

Re: Wycombe One Up Front Match Thread
 

Not strange, just natural to those of us who don't know contractual niceties of every, or any, player.
But glad to hear it.
Just hope Clark can rediscover some of his goal scoring form as, until the recent run of results, he's generally been able to bag a goal when needed.

Re: Wycombe One Up Front Match Thread
 

I disagree. Maybe always happened before but never has there been money in the coffers from sales.
Some money needs reinvesting in the playing staff.

Re: Wycombe One Up Front Match Thread
 

No-ones saying some money dont need to be re-invested, it certainly does need to be if possible, whilst i agree money is in the coffers, yeh would have to be a bit thick to think were flush, we still have very small gates, plus everyone knows there are clubs outa the F.L. that can and do pay more than us, its a question of being realistic rather than daft,

Re: Wycombe One Up Front Match Thread
 

I thought Stanley are still waiting on any money for Donacien. He's listed on the Ipswich Town web site as being 'on loan' with them.
Personally, I think using what little money there is on a training ground would be a better option than over paying for one or two players. I think the squad is OK, they just need a change of luck.

Re: Wycombe One Up Front Match Thread
 

But will it be ok in January if we lose half the loan players ?
Would you not like to see Ihiekwe and Anderton signed permanently ?

Re: Wycombe One Up Front Match Thread
 

Of course, and I think it's extremely generous of you to offer to buy them both.
