Re: stanley v morecambe thread
 

Accrington Stanley to win 2-1

Re: stanley v morecambe thread
 

If you don’t want to wait for the PL thread to start tonight carry on guessing on this thread and I’ll not bother doing the game 40 thread at all

Just let me know…..not a problem

And by the way, if I do carry on and finish the season I won’t count guesses on any thread that I haven’t started

Re: stanley v morecambe thread
 

Please post up D3N, it will be one of the only good things that happen over the Bank Holiday, as the weather does not loo great ;)

:)

Re: stanley v morecambe thread
 

Yes, please post your usual thread D3N - always enjoy reading it whilst making my mind up about my prediction

Re: stanley v morecambe thread
 

Apologies Div3North i endorsed Cashy's thread without properly checking its title /content. I will use the same score when you start your score prediction thread.

Re: stanley v morecambe thread
 

Yes, I am sure that AccyMad also enjoys reading the c**p you post :D

Sorry.... could not resist :)

:)

Re: stanley v morecambe thread
 

Morecambe fans bleating on line about having to fill the seated area on offer to them before they are allowed to buy standing tickets on the coppice end. May affect attendances?.....either in a good way......they take up all the seats on offer.....then buy standing tickets.....or in a bad way.........they get the hump and stop buying seated tickets as they want standing tickets......and watch on iFollow?

Re: stanley v morecambe thread
 

I'm hoping Vitek's back available tomorrow against Morecambe after International duty. Anybody know if he's come through his time away unscathed?

Re: stanley v morecambe thread
 

He seems to have. He played the full match on Tuesday:

Re: stanley v morecambe thread
 

Excuse me, I would never describe D3N's words as c**p (maybe his ramblings if I was feeling brave) but never c**p :D

Re: stanley v morecambe thread
 

His words AccyMad, his words ;)

Re: stanley v morecambe thread
 

Would be hard to accept a defeat today after our track record against them..

Re: stanley v morecambe thread
 

Very quiet game. Our wingers are particularly quiet, Bickerstaff keeps running and wins absolutely nothing in the air or on the ground. We have been poor but so have they.
Good to have Radek back.

This is crap. ^$&^%#&%^*$%^$#^&*&^*(O*(&_)

Re: stanley v morecambe thread
 

Keeps getting worse.

Re: stanley v morecambe thread
 

Abysmal defending KJ !.. and very little threat from our strikers (?)..

Re: stanley v morecambe thread
 

Is Bickerstaff poor, or just not getting the service ( I suspect the latter)?

Re: stanley v morecambe thread
 

Both!

Re: stanley v morecambe thread
 

YES and YES !!.. The Reds are looking very ragged now KJ !..

Re: stanley v morecambe thread
 

Yonmon,
Strikers plural? Bickerstaff maybe, but who is the other?

Re: stanley v morecambe thread
 

Its unanimous then...

Re: stanley v morecambe thread
 

Yeaaaa....

Re: stanley v morecambe thread
 

Good Friday my arse. :(

Re: stanley v morecambe thread
 

What I was trying to point out to KJ , in a succinct manner Greger was .. YES he is poor.and . YES ... he is not getting the service !..
However, there are other 'strikers' in the squad who we both know to be a trifle suspect when it comes to scoring goals.. Two of which, along with others have just made my afternoon a bit of a misery sad to say !..(or am I, in my dotage, getting more hard to please as the season plods on it''s not so merry way ?.).

Coleman out
 

9 minutes of added time was brilliant :)

Re: Coleman out
 

..Are you a sadist ??

Re: Coleman out
 

That was the best part of the game Kiwi :)

We could have won it with Shaun and Alex missing good chances, plus The Clayton End was bounce, bounce, bouncing!!!!

:)

Re: Coleman out
 

Also, MASSIVE shout out to Jase and the gang for organising the pre-match display and making a great noise :)

:)

Re: stanley v morecambe thread
 

Let's just say there's a reason Disney fc lent him to us :rolleyes:

Re: stanley v morecambe thread
 

Yes another great January loan signing by "he who also made bad loan striker signings in January 2023"........

Re: stanley v morecambe thread
 

Going by his history, he must be worth a few goals at least...the fact he's not getting them would have to be a reflection on the way the other players are performing...tho his date of birth suggests he might be a disaster...

Re: stanley v morecambe thread
 

Unfortunately, he just doesn't look that interested to me - just my opinion obviously

Re: stanley v morecambe thread
 

I totally agree with your opinion young lady !. .... another of his attributes (?) Seems to be an inherent skill in disappearing from view for periods in a game , or so it appears to my eye . Inconspicuous is not an unreasonable word to describe him on these occasions .. just my opinion naturally !.
This however is not a desirable element one would wish to see in one of the main strikers in a struggling team much indeed of points ... perhaps it's time for a Sports Psychologist to revitalise and remotivate ourJacob to unleash his hidden powers ?... any offers ?.
( And while he's at it,find a way to convince the entire team that performing for 90 minutes like they managed to do for the last 10 today must bring its rewards !).

ON STANLEY !..ON TO GREATER THINGS !

Re: stanley v morecambe thread
 

While I agree that he had a poor game, I don’t think that is where the problem lies. He was chasing all afternoon, but lost every duel. That might suggest lack of interest, of course, but the service, if you could call it that, was more suited to a 6’4 player, expert at holding the ball up.

Jack Nolan, as much as I enjoy watching him when we occasionally play well, has no judgment at all, cross or shoot, and very rarely looks for the front man unless it is with a 40 yards cross from the Centre circle. And Tommy Leigh is after all a very poor passer. Better strikers than Bickerstaff would struggle to do anything with that kind of service.

Re: stanley v morecambe thread
 

So we are all agreed then ......young Jake was a very poor loan signing in the January window. He doesn't suit our style of play, can't hold up or win the ball, can't get on the end of crosses, never gets in the box, is slow, can't head the ball...........

Young Shipley, a good loan signing and left wing back ....came on and showed him how it can be done for the last 20 minutes........

Re: stanley v morecambe thread
 

And here's me trying my hardest to give Jacob the gentle letdown whilst waiting in the wings was a hatchet man par excellence !.
Don't think you missed one ' get Jake' -ism CG !. Well done !.

Re: stanley v morecambe thread
 

He CAN ......prove me wrong in the remaining games of the season........?

Re: stanley v morecambe thread
 

Supreme optimism personified CG. ?.

Re: stanley v morecambe thread
 

We had the right man - for our system/style of play - in Andrews, but he went back and as is the norm for bargain basement Stanley, we have got the best we could find..... had our luck been in, we would have comeback from shopping with Paul Mullin ;)

:)

Re: stanley v morecambe thread
 

About right Greger, he would be a different player if he had Andrews along side him :)


:)

Re: stanley v morecambe thread
 

First game for a while,got the train to Acci so I could have a few beers and be entertained with a rip-roaring local derby.
How wrong was I !!!
Both teams thought they were Man City,tippy tapping,no passion,desire,will to win.
Morecambe we’re the better team,just!!!,
Acci use to have half a dozen leaders in the team,couldn’t name you one yesterday.
I thought a lot of players were out of contract in summer,so you would assume they would be busting a gut on the pitch??
Sorry I didn’t catch up with you Yonmon, but the hens harrier beer made me stay In Coleys bar for the second half,along with hundreds of others!!!!
KTF

Re: stanley v morecambe thread
 

Tommy is a shadow of the player he used to be and playing alongside Dan Martin is not his position - Ben Woods please :)

Apart from his glaring miss, Henderson should be starting - in my opinion :)

If we are using Kelvin's experience, then play Shipley and bench Connor :)


:)

Re: stanley v morecambe thread
 

Bench Connor for Kelvin???:eek:
Connor is one the best players of the season.
Boots opticians will be open today if it helps, Val.

Re: stanley v morecambe thread
 

I get that 100%, but he is out of position and Shipley is fantastic :)

Read it again Exile ;) :)

:)

Re: stanley v morecambe thread
 

I use Vision Express by the way :D

:)

Re: stanley v morecambe thread
 

I read it a few times as I was so stunned
Shipley is left footed and came on to play left back, where he is best.
O’Brien, who is right footed, then moved across the field to right back, where he is best.
The unasked question is why was Mellor, given his experience, not started at left back?
Change opticians! ��

Re: stanley v morecambe thread
 

That is an option Exile, but I would play Shipley at left back whenever possible :)

To be honest, with the defenders we have, we could go to a five.... anyway, on to Mansfield :)

Re: stanley v morecambe thread
 

what strikers?

Re: stanley v morecambe thread
 

Kelvin was released by Crewe due to a persistent injury and was due surgery in the close season of 2023. Theres loads of comments on the Crewe message board confirming same... we should never have signed him.

Re: stanley v morecambe thread
 

Tommy hasn't been the same player since his 'want away' at the last January window and Ben is a far better replacement.

Re: stanley v morecambe thread
 

I think you misunderstood me, Val.
I too would have Shipley at left back as the default. But I would always also have O’Brien at right back over Mellor.

Rather than trying to be too clever I should have been clearer that I was suggesting Mellor was not selected as left back yesterday because he is not seen as reliable in that position as O’Brien (even though it is also not O’Brien’s ‘natural’ side of the pitch).

Re: stanley v morecambe thread
 

Get it, but I think that we need Kelvin's experience... the rest of the back five have an average age of 12 and have 3 games between them ;)

:)

Re: stanley v morecambe thread
 

And according to Andy Holt we won't sign "obvious crocks" again now Coley's gone. That's if yhe new system of recruitment works? .....only time will tell...
