Terrible performance bad news about Joe Pritchard but that was two awful sides I can only think Delfounesue,Sisse and Hardy must be absolutely awful in training because what was on show upfront tonight was powder puff at shooting in big trouble now big fight on our hands to stay in this league with what is looking a poorer side by the game.

QUO VADIS STANLEY ??..
The answer is exactly nowhere with the substandard eleven who were just kicking a ball around tonight instead of playing football.
The basic skills needed to control, pass, and shoot a football were for the most part missing and any ideas relating to scoring goals seems not to be part of our so called 'strikers' footballing vocabulary. Hence NO GOALS and an easy win for a not-that-good Moecambe team,.
So with this abysmal squad it seems to be near the truth to suggest that now the Reds begin a lengthy languish in the twilight zone which is the relegation threatened four propping up League1.

QUO VADIS STANLEY ??.

Can only reiterate the comments on here. Absolutely toothless.
Notwithstanding the ‘shots on target’ (just about everyone of which went straight into Ripley’s ample stomach) Stanley never looked like they understood that the sole purpose of the game is to score goals, not to repeatedly pass to the nearest marked man.
Pritchard’s injury didn’t look good, hope I’m wrong.

Whats frustrating to hear with these type of games is when the manager says in his post match interview that we did OK! I must have watched a completely different game.

I have to agree we were awful.

The writing was on the wall before kick-off last night as Stanley's strikers (sic) lined up for some shooting practise.
50% off their efforts were wildly off-target & the rest were saved by our agile 3rd choice keeper.
Oh how we laughed. By half-time, no one was laughing.
For 30 minutes Stanley promised to serve up a festive treat. Unfortuantely, the turkey on the menu was us.
Morecambe didn't need 62% possession. In Cole Stockton they had what Stanley lacked - an old-school centre forward strong enough to resist the hardest challenge & skilful enough to provide a killer pass. He was instrumental in both goals.
Last night proved that clever passing & possession football mean absolutely nothing without an end result - the ball in the back of the net!
In 3 days we face a much stiffer derby. I fear this time the writing really is on the wall for Stanley - and it begins with the letter 'R'.

Coley.in the interview... and I quote !..
" Football's a funny game "... I notice that he and others are not laughing that much !.
Those players that failed miserably last night must be desperately unhappy with their lot as they face what's to come !..

The other week Coleman said that Adeoyin was lacking in confidence but was the best hitter of a ball at the club not hard watching lasts night,s pathetic effort,s at shooting.

I remember the days when away Clubs/supporters used to compliment Stanley FANs......

Hope that this is nothing serious.....

It was a tough watch last night, especially as it was are near rivals "The Shrimps". Stanley provided plenty of effort in both the first and second halves, and also created 5 or 6 really good chances. Our finishing let us down and we didn't have any luck on the night. If Astley's goal bound header goes in in the first half its a different game. But! Morecambe's striking talisman heads it off the line.....Oh for Goal Line technology! (NOT!). We also created 4 other really good chances......well played Rosaire and Pritchard.....but our finishing was so poor. Anyway, I think we are "just" 3 or so players short of a good mid-table team.

Will they arrive in Janauary? Who knows, but surely we are due SOME good luck eventually this season. We've had a poor first half, let's keep positive and maybe, just maybe our second half will improve........

With apologies to Yonmon..........NOS NON RELEGANDA! Have I

translated that correctly Yonmon?

AND above all: Keep the faith!

Our Forum is getting to be most erudite CG !.. and Lord S hasn't started yet !.. I'm tempted to add that being erudite should help us stick together.. but that's a pun too far I guess ?.
I know that relegation is a far distant proposition and will hopefully never become a reality.
However, a winter of discontent does seem to be staring the Reds in the face at this moment and my premise that the lack of quality throughout the squad does make it appear a more than difficult journey they have to take !.
Of course I fervently hope that JC and JB can make the changes necessary to reverse the current situation, and that my comments don't in any way indicate a diminishing of the affection which I hold for our Club !..and I promise to keep the faith !.

Got what we deserved last night on and off the pitch. Dreadful performance from the team and our fans continually singing about someone having a heart attack wasn’t a great way to represent our club.

What is actually going on at the club at the moment?

We have already been fined once this season for singing chants that should never of been sang. This is the Accrington that use to get praise for behaviour and constant noise.

First relegation battle for the club in a long time. We need few new players in the loan window and really kick on or else L2.

From listening to the raw milk podcast. I agree the club has a very weird feeling around the place at the moment.
