Absolutely appalling Stanley performance can,t see where the next goal is coming from Coleman still sticking with same 11 saying they have been playing well must watch a different set of games and a lot of fans around me saying the same thing today, Simpson on bench today must be praying to bo back to Preston awful up front all 4 of them Coley yet again waits till 2 down to change things should have been done around the 60 minute mark, but saying that we were bad right through the side today.PS same starting 11 next week anyone.

Had a feeling as soon as the cup draw was made that Crewe would prove to be, yet again, our bogey team.
However, the stats from the game paint a depressing picture of an out-of-form team struggling to compete against lower league opponents currently enjoying momentum.
League 2 Crewe enjoyed 53% possession - away from home!
They had 12 shots on goal - 6 on target.
We had 11 - with a pathetic 1 on target.
Most worrying of all, we conceded 15 fouls, including 2 yellow & 1 red card.
Perhaps the unwelcome title as the dirtiest team in football is becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy.
I've enjoyed so many moments over the past few years, in both cup & league, when I've been proud to be a Stanley fan.
Today was not one of them.

It was that bad I can,t even remember our one shot on target, not scoring goals obviously affects strikers confidence but this is now spred right through the team,as I have previously said this large squad that's been assembled seems to lack league 1 standards and this is rapidly unfortunately turning into one of the poorer Stanley sides for quite a while need to turn this home form around before our new found support starts to dwindle today back to hardcore 1250,ish.

Can’t fathom why we played 1 up top.
Colby won a lot in the air but no one near him to pick up the 2nd ball.
Dimi was shaky throughout - fear is Bursik not being up to scratch and again missing in future due to international callups.
Opoku far too casual.
Clicker yet again missing throughout; golden chance completely wasted.
Forgot McConville was even playing after 20 mins.
Seamus covered so much ground; really let down by Callum and Finley .

Carvalho and Simpson shouldn’t be in the squad.

People desperate for subs.... really? What options do we have from the bench.....
Start Charles instead of Pritchard.
No one else even comes close to being in starting 11.

Like I said a squad assembled of lack of league 1 standards including the starting 11.

Re: The Crewe match thread, or the 'Annoy Accy Mad' thread.
 

Tough for us to assemble a squad of League 1 standard thought let’s be real.

A quote from JC went something like .. ' We will just have to regroup ! 'and the thought crossed my mind ' regroup into what ? '.
The current squad are collectively the worst that have represented our Club for some time now in my humble opinion . They lack drive , cohesion, and sad to say , a will to compete .
I know that I whinge on a bit, but I only compare them with other teams we have seen this Season , Crewe and it's team of keen, lively and obviously committed youngsters being the latest to prove my theory .

Come on you Reds !!!.

We have lost Barlaser from the midfield, Ozzy is not half the player he was and we all know about Billy.

Apart from that, most of the lads are the same as last season, so what has changed??

It,s obviously all about budgets we know that but personally and talking to other fans why such a huge squad especially when it seems like we are reluctant to use them I would have preferred a smaller squad all right you could be hit by injuries but could have brought in a bit more quality unless it comes back to a previous post of mine we struggled to attract them.

Re: The Crewe match thread, or the 'Annoy Accy Mad' thread.
 

We struggled last season with those you have just mentioned we have not replaced them with anything better.

Re: The Crewe match thread, or the 'Annoy Accy Mad' thread.
 

from a personal viewpoint giving the game a swerve yesteday was a result for me. without the necessary number of match officials the game should have been abandoned no matter what the score was at the time. even if stanley were say 4 up at the time it should not have carried on. fans of all clubs say that it only happens to us. well anyone knows stuff like this only happens at stanley. would have been interested what would have happened if stanley had refused to play on. think haringay set a precident the other week after their keeper was racially abused by yeovil fans and the team walked off. there has been some farces at the wham over the years but this must be the top of the list of tin pot decisions affecting the club no matter how the team performed or didn,t whatever the case was.

Re: The Crewe match thread, or the 'Annoy Accy Mad' thread.
 

You can not compare racism to something that is in an official rule book, thus irrelevant of if teams want to continue or not.
