The Wars of the Roses Thread
In under 24 hrs Stanley will face one of the biggest games since their reformation.
The match v Premiership Leeds Utd will be broadcast live from 12.15pm by the BBC. Of course no one really expects us to win, but which Stanley will turn up? If it's the same lacklustre display that saw us fail to score from open play for over 2 hours against non-league opposition, we're in for a hiding. Surely, if any game demanded courage from our manager this is it. Will he play it safe as usual, or try a bold new approach. Personaly, I'd like to see either Adedoyin or Sisay up front with Pressley from the start. They may not be Wilfred Zaha, but they're both big enough to offer a threat to the Leeds defence. So come on Mr Coleman, this is the opportunity you've waited for, a chance to prove your management skills in front of a big audience. Cut out the hoof ball & get back to playing football Can the whippet beat the Greyhound? Can David beat Goliath? For all Stanley fans, believing the impossible is a way of life. |

Re: The Wars of the Roses Thread
On the positive side ...
I was told that ,allegedly, following Tuesday nights game a forlorn looking Jesse Marsch was seen walking as if in shock down Whalley Road. When questioned by a passer by worried by this sad sight he was finally well enough to utter the words ( and I quote ) " What can one possibly do to overcome tactics so bizarrely different to anything I've ever witnessed in my years in football ?... I am bewildered and baffled by Coleman's futuristic thinking..we are beaten ! ! ". He was later joined by a French member of his Coaching Team who led him away somewhat unsteadily murmuring " Merde.. Merde.. Merde !" incessantly. Now then folks, if this report is accurate, and it might well be. Then the Reds ( with or without strikers Cashy !).. have little to fear from a team without a plan !.. ( Time for my medication is nigh... ON STANLEY.. ON !!.) |
Re: The Wars of the Roses Thread
Sadly Koedy Adeoyin and Touray Sisay are injured
On a positive note Aaron P says the new boots he had delivered today will be used tomorrow :) |

Re: The Wars of the Roses Thread
It's a funny old game is football when you're a Stanley fan.......I'm just hoping we don't pick up any more injuries to our players tomorrow.

Pressley must start, with Whalley and Tommy either side of him :) Harvey, Doug and Ryan at the back - as Coley loves 3 at the back...... Sean, Ethan, Ros and Liam in midfield :) With what we have available, that is my XI - 3-4-3 :) Woods and Adekoya will be useful from the bench :) Not long now :) |

Re: The Wars of the Roses Thread
Good goal, and they hit the post,BUT we are right in it -as long as we don't tire. Impressed with Whalley.

Re: The Wars of the Roses Thread
Kiwi, while there's only one goal I it we have a chance, we must score the next goal,,,,,somehow....

Re: The Wars of the Roses Thread
Savin outstanding.
|
Re: The Wars of the Roses Thread
Super sub. !!!!
|
Re: The Wars of the Roses Thread
Fair result, but I was impressed with the effort and do that every game and up the league we go.
|
Re: The Wars of the Roses Thread
Thought we did quite well overall. First 20 was excellent, and who knows what would have happened if Harvey had hit the target from five yards. Savin of course really good.
I like Ethan, if not always his defending. But this is a team with very little punch. I think a case could be made for a proper forward alongside Pressley leaving Sean Whalley to do what he does best, play wide. |

Re: The Wars of the Roses Thread
can someone tell me WHY our manager does NOT put subs on until after the last few mins of ANY game.?unless a lad gets injured? its completely beyond my comprension the lads played very well today against a premiership side,i fail to see what their is to lose.
|
Re: The Wars of the Roses Thread
Result apart i really enjoyed todays game and have no complaints about our performance. We were the better team upto their first goal and what a goal it was. I just hope we can push on with the same performances in the league so we can get away from the dreaded relegation zone.

Re: The Wars of the Roses Thread
Well it was a grand day out at The Wham Stadium today.
A magnificent RED DISPLAY as the players came out with the big RED SURFER and lots of Stanley flags flying high. Leeds eventually showed their class with two goals in two minutes but for sixty odd minutes Stanley were deservedly still in with a shout! Stanley started well in the first twenty minutes and I think we surprised Leeds with our quality and intensity. It was a truly quality strike for the first Leeds goal. Stanley stuck the task well for the rest of the half with Toby Savin making a world class finger tip save to keep the score line at 1-0 at half time. We continued to hang into the match but two more quality strikes saw us go three down. It was good to see all our subs being given the chance to pit themselves against Premier opposition and two first touches produced the goal that Stanley deserved. New loanee Quirk got down the right and crossed for Leslie Adekoya to finish superbly to send the Stanley Faithful into RAPTURES!����❤️ The Clayton End were BRILLIANT and both sets of fans behaved well and sang and cheered their respective teams.���� The Stanley players should take a lot out of this performance for the forth coming battles in League One. Renewed confidence and belief should really help us in the latter stages of the season. SO PROUD OF ALL AT STANLEY TODAY.:jimbo: KEEP THE FAITH.:wave8::signbeer: ON STANLEY ON.:theband::jimbo::thepint: |
Re: The Wars of the Roses Thread
cant argue with our display, it was great.
|
Re: The Wars of the Roses Thread
Well played Stanley, great cup tie, really impressed with the work rate lets keep it up for the rest of the season and we should be safe. Well done to the club all round, oh, and I thought the ref had a good game too.

Re: The Wars of the Roses Thread
Great day out at The Wham, and a good effort by Stanley and their fans.
I just hope, after the impact both Adekoya and Woods made, Coley will now have a bit more faith in his younger strikers in the continued absence to injury of the more ‘experienced’ options. The subs were far too late to have any effect on this result but both these lads showed what a bit of pace and effort can do. I can’t help wondering just how different things might have been these last few months, where Stanley, clearly struggling for goals, filled the pitch with midfielders, if these lads had been given more than a few minutes and told to get themselves in the opponent’s box. |

We desperately need Conneely and Clark back......assuming Notts and Pressley are fully fit in the next two weeks. |
Re: The Wars of the Roses Thread
adekoya is a great prospect i think should be tied down and played more imho.
