Season 18
 
As we approach Season 18 - 'The Return of League 2' as it is otherwise known, what do we think it will have in store for us??

What should we expect?

Some of our better players have gone - others may follow.....

Our more experienced players are in their mid 30's, so will not have many more seasons in them.

Scoring goals has been a problem since Kayden left and keeping them out has been a struggle recently too - Harvey and Notts. leaving will not help that to be honest.

Of the players we know, I think Kode and Josh Woods are more than capable - Adekoya could surprise us - and we have seen nothing of Matt Lowe to form any opinion.

We have enough midfielders to sink a battleship and we know what their capabilities are.

Defenders on the other hand........... and we need a couple of keepers probably??

We have seen some in comings - an experienced defender in Mellor and some youngsters in Hills, Shipley and Andrews.

We have to get it right this season and by that I am not suggesting we go straight back up, but we need to win games fast and keep at the right end of the table all season.

In Coley we trust.

I think we will be ok, mind you i said that last season.i dont trust a man who does nowt only sit on wall.

Re: Season 18
 
Val, it's the old story story I'm afraid. We won't have much idea until we are 10 games into the season. I trust Coley to put out a competitive side every game, but we must stay clear of the injuries we suffered last year. There must be question marks over the injury record of Jay, Korede, Macca, Joe and our captain. I think Matt had enough games at the end of last season to help him come back OK and I think the lower quality of defenders in League 2 will suit him better. Hard-Work, Team Spirit and organisation can take you a long way in League 2 but above all else we need players who can stay fit for most of the season. The number of senior players in our squad and key players who have left us means a season of transition is required. A mid-table finish in League 2 will be a success in my book along with finding one or two rough diamonds along the way.

About a month in and I have to say I am 75/25 happy :)

First game at home was great and it was brilliant to get that winning at home feeling back :)

Though we have lost loads of players, some of the new young lads have been excellent - the old lads too ;) - and Coley and Co. have found some real players, who will be very successful in the coming years :)

Not happy with the losses and Barrow at home, but more than happy with Salford away :)

Need the feel good to stay and get safe as soon as, then we shall have to wait and see :)

Re: Season 18
 
Well, ten games in and half of them lost - not what the Doctor ordered and not what I expected after the performance on day one against Newport......?!?!?!?!

Cannot hide a way from the fact that injuries are playing their part, but I know that it is not down to that solely....... :(

Some very young and very inexperienced players on show for us yesterday and I feel for them at times.

Coley and Co. have a job on their hands, but I am more than confident in their abilities :)

(next two games are crucial)

Looks like some serious discussion is imperative...

"On their decision to speak to the BBC, Holt wrote: 'They went to BBC Lancashire Sport for one or both of these reasons. To use pressure from fans to coerce me into giving new or extended contracts. To flag out publicly they’re available to other clubs.'

He also admitted that he hadn't spoken to the manager and his assistant after yesterday's win, before claiming last season's relegation was down to some 'poor decisions' made by the management and himself.

'They failed. In football getting relegated threatens a club. Last season was about p*** poor decisions and management. Including my decisions,' he wrote.

'I’m not replacing them. I’m replacing me," he added.

BUT .. don't we all know that as well as being a great benefactor and fan of The Reds,
Andy does have a somewhat intransigent side to his nature !.
' The Gentleman is not for moving '...
but are the two other antagonists I wonder ?.

Well, no one's laughing now. 7 points ahead with a game in hand & in automatic promotion spot.
After 21 games played, it's pretty clear that Stanley are a team going nowhere fast.
Extended contracts for management?

Bit of a surprise package is Barrow in how they have climbed the table playing some decent football. They struggle recruiting players due to their location so all their training is done in Manchester and has been for a number of years now. They currently share training facilities with FC United of M/C.
Good manager is Pete Wild and a nice chap.

Well Val, shall we compare the current fortunes of Barrow v Stanley's present situation.
1. Do Barrow have a millionaire backer? .....No!
2. Do Barrow have bigger gates than Stanley? .....No! (av'g 3,200)
3. Do Barrow have a bigger budget than Stanley? .... No!
Add to that the handicap of being so remote, their current success is even more remarkable.
In many ways Barrow & Stanley's circumstances are very similar, except....
Could it be that they have a young manager who knows how to get the best out of his players & actually has an effective game plan.

Talking of the above, I see that the team Stanley couldn't defeat over 3 games were demolished at home today 0-5 by Ged Brannan's Morecambe.
Since he took over the reigns 3 weeks ago they're undefeated.
Seem to recall suggesting we could do worse than appoint him when relegation was looking obvious toward the end of last season.
We may well live to regret letting him go.

Not quite correct, yes they hammered Donny today but they lost Ged's first two games in charge but have done well since with 2 wins & a draw

Just to clarify some facts on Barrow.

They do pay more money than ASFC and are likely to pay more per player as they only have a small first team squad and no Academy.

They train in Manchester and only travel to Barrow on home match days

Whilst they may not have a billionaire backer there owner is based in the USA (I believe).

Crowd wise they have a larger area to get there fans from as they have nobody to compete with!!

Yes you're right Val, 5 points from the last 21 (I think) is relegation form. Form has deserted us in 2024. We need players back urgently......and going forward we need to ensure that we have a durable squad next season which means "weeding-out" players who are injury- prone ...

Thanks Exile, I didn't know but felt sure we had been very poor, as I've watched all but one of the last 8 games........the performances of the youngsters have been good, but, we've conceeded goals at vital times. We've really missed the senior players in games. The injury prone must be released at the end of the season. I dread to think how many games some of the top 8 earners at the club have missed both last season and this season. Apart from a couple they've certainly not earned their keep in my opinion.

I notice that Bradford are up in sixth place in the form table........doesn't bode well for Saturday. I'd take a point from all the home games now if I could.....

Yep, we've made it to the magical 50 points - good performance from our young guns today, particularly in the second half when I thought we were going to get the winner but all.in all a draw was perhaps a fair result against a much more experienced side.
Their press guys definitely had a case of sour grapes when we equalised from Jack's penalty, moaning about it being debatable & 'not even having a decent view of the incident' - serves 'em right for telling me to shush when I was trying to tell them how to pronounce Shaun's surname

Thought it was a really enjoyable, exciting game yesterday and a draw was probably a fair result, although Stanley were on top for most of the second half, with some excellent attacking moves. Young O’Brien and Martin again outstanding, but a good all-round performance from the squad.

I wonder if Cashy’s comments re Dan Jewel refer to his post match blather on Radio Lancs which were all about ‘management’ issues and, like 99.9% of the media’s output, are designed solely to generate tomorrow’s headlines.

Things happen at the club the need to stay P & C.

Baba was injured in a bounce game at Blackburn some time ago.

He is also on paternity leave at the moment.

He is back fit and needs minutes. Likely I'm hearing going to be in the squad to face PNE in the CL Cup next week.

I can't see why if a player is injured that is regarded as P&C. Congratulations to Baba on becoming a father, I can see he may consider that to be P&C! He is now fit and needs minutes, thank you for the information. Again can't see why injury and getting fit is P&C.

If you are referring to "something else" as P&C, of course we will never know?....As always I appreciate your candid reply. Thank-you.

If you are referring to "something else" as P&C, of course we will never know?....As always I appreciate your candid reply. Thank-you.

Similar situation to Sama and Jack last season....out of favour with the manager.
Hopefully the situation will change to the good going forward.

Andy holt on X

For those that haven’t caught up yet. Jimmy does not represent @ASFCofficial now.

Very shortly it will be clear who does represent the club.

Everyone will be available for questions.

I’m excited about our future plans, can’t wait.

Please pass on to @BBCLancsSport

Have we signed a new manager then? Seems like it?

Stanley play Morecambe soon - isn’t it simply managers scouting their opponents?

Quite possibly but I guess we'll soon find out but we haven't got Salford any time soon & Ged already knows us inside out

Well let's see Joe !.. There'll be a rack or two of Home and Away Shirts, a few Baseball Caps, some Scarves, and assorted items of Memorabilia !
Though why anyone at Morecambe would be mildly interested in patronising the emporium escapes me for the moment !.

Well, that it that folks :)

Strange season in some ways, focus on the positives/highlights :)

Connor O'Brien and Alex Henderson, two young Accy lads, fulfilling their dreams and two good players also :)

Dan Martin coming of age in the midfield, along with young Ben Woods also - two more for the future I hope :)

:) :) :)

Superb celebrations after the match in Coley’s. The whole squad came in and mixed with fans and posed for photos. Great bunch of lads and I personally thanked the loan players and wished them every success in the future. After the match John Doolan shook hands with everyone and thanked us all individually for our support. Great guy! I am already looking forward to next season!
ON STANLEY ON!

A great performance, result and post-match celebration to end a (typical) roller-coaster season.
Next season will be just as difficult but I feel more optimistic about the club than for some years.
Would be interested to know how at many other clubs ordinary fans would get to meet and chat to all the players, the management, and the owner within an hour of the final match.
Looking forward to Tuesday night.

My son in law brought a friend yesterday who is a Burnley supporter. He was very impressed with the facilities and the ground and club spirit shown between the players, fans and management during the match, on the lap of honour and in Coley’s afterwards. He also loved the close proximity of the supporters to the actual playing area. He was particularly impressed with the way John Doolan connects with the supporters!:theband:
