Been very ill for a couple of weeks C.G., so I am on catch up ;)

Somewhere inside Anfield :)

:)

Re: 19 to viginti
 

An away trip to Colchester, saw a Shaun Whalley brace and a clean sheet :)

Another 3 points for Stanley :)

100% win rate for 2025 :)

A mere 9 wins to go ;)

ON STANLEY ON

Re: 19 to viginti
 

Down to earth with a bang.....

A 3-0 defeat at home to a very good Notts. County side :(

Still just 9 wins required :)


:)

Re: 19 to viginti
 

And back up again with a big bang :)

Tough away trip to Crewe, saw a battling, defensive and gritty performance :)

78 years old Shaun Whalley with the only goal of the game - and what a goal!!!

Very, very good, workman like performance and a well deserved 1-0 win :)

8 wins will do the trick :)

STANLEY BOYS, STANLEY BOYS..........

Re: 19 to viginti
 

Home to Cheltenham midweek and another point gained :)

Gutsy performance against a very well organised and 'in your face' team.

Still 8 wins to go, but a point nearer :)

Re: 19 to viginti
 

Bad day at the office in Burslem...........

An old cliche, but sometimes it is harder to play against ten...

2-1 defeat against a promotion pushing Vale :(

We move onto The Wombles next.

Still the 8 wins needed.

ON STANLEY ON


:)

Re: 19 to viginti
 

Another tough home game - Wombles - saw us get another well earned point :)

League 2 Player of the month was awarded Man of the match, could have gone to Rawson, Walton, or O'Brien to be honest :)

Back to back home goalless draws - not something we have been accustomed to over recent years :)

We have now hit the 30 point barrier, so 7 more wins will do it :)

Two tough away games this week - Bradford and Morecambe :)

COME ON YOU REDS


:)

Re: 19 to viginti
 

Did not think it would be easy going to Bradford - 7 home wins on the bounce :eek:

I hope that 'resting' players (has it come to this in League 2???) gets the desired results.

Not a great deal in the game, but I think the result fair :o

The newish young lads at the back did OK, but we lack that killer instinct up front...

Conor Grant looked good for the time he was on the pitch :)

We move onto the next one :)

The first of the 7 more wins required comes soon ;)

WE'RE THE PRIDE OF LANCASHIRE


:)

Re: 19 to viginti
 

An away trip to Morecambe next - a must not lose game.....

Good solid performance in the first half - a good 'derby' game :)

A lapse of concentration in the second, saw Morecambe take the lead and then double it, as we tried to get back level.....

See the above post about 'resting' players :(

Home game next - though this will be as tough.

7 wins to go :)

FIRST TEAM TO PLAY IN RED......



:)

Re: 19 to viginti
 

A very tough home game against high flying Doncaster Rovers next.

They scored early and could have been out of sight at half time, but we rallied in the second half and got level through Captain Fantastic - Seamus :)

Killer was going back behind so early, through an unlucky own goal :(

Last 10/15 minutes we gave it a good go - they went down to ten near the end - but we could not grab another....

It was never going to be easy and on the balance of play Donny deserved their 2-1 win.

Still just need 7 wins, next two away are MUST NOT LOSE!!!!

Re: 19 to viginti
 

First of two 'must not lose' away trips, saw us travel to Tranmere :)

The beginning of something I hoped after I saw the team/formation....

Great to see Grant starting and even better four at the back :)

Stanley started well and finished well and to be honest, they played well in between :)

This might be a flash in the pan, but I hope we carry on with the back four for the rest of the season :)

Shaun Whalley - 79 next birthday - with the only goal of the game, to give us a vital win :)

We are getting ever nearer the finishing line - 6 more wins to go :)

ON STANLEY ON

Re: 19 to viginti
 

Second of the 'must not lose' games did not go to plan :(

Not the best of games, saw us lose 2-1 to Harrogate - Josh Woods scoring for us :)

We still need 6 more wins, at home to out of form MK Dons this midweek next :)

Put this behind us and move on :)

WE CONQUERED ALL OF NON-LEAGUE.......................


:)

Re: 19 to viginti
 

Another midweek game and another clean sheet victory :)

Home to Managerless MK Dons saw a 2-0 victory - despite the back 3..... - goals from Walton and O'Brien-Whitmarsh(what has the world come to???)

Good solid home performance and great result :)

5 wins to go, we are there............(almost)

10 MEN WENT TO WAR, WENT TO WAR WITH BARROW...........

Re: 19 to viginti
 

Away to Barrow, we lost 2-0, nothing else to say.... :(

We did not play well, we lost both halves 1-0.

5 wins to go.


RED AND WHITE ARMY

Re: 19 to viginti
 

Home to Newport saw Stanley run riot, with a 5-0 victory :eek:

Great team performance, with 2 goals from Joe O'Brien-Whitmarsh and Kelsey Mooney (really) plus 1 from the roofer Tyler :)

Everything came together for once and it was great for the loyal home fans :)

The end is getting nearer ;)

4 wins to go.

:)

THEY SAID OUR DAYS WERE NUMBERED AND THEY NEARLY SHUT THE DOORS..............
