The Wars of the Roses Thread

[Lord Stiffupperlip]

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.

Adeoyin still on the injured list Sisse couldn't even make the bench with nine subs against Borehamwood the other night Pressley will start if he,s deemed fully recovered from his bruising, if he does would like young Adekoya given a go next to him but unfortunately can't see it happening.

if pressley is fully fit??? if he plays i doubt if the lad will be. that will not be anything new.

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 !!.)

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

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.

You can get injured in training Crown Grounder

Also, we seem to have a lot of injuries that seem to linger........

Just a few thought

He picked up some serious splinter wounds in his rear end that last appearance on the bench aggravated by running up and down the touchline 🤔

Val while I agree what you are saying makes perfect sense........he's been injured since he arrived at the club we are now 6 months on. He hasn't had any operations so why isn't he now fit to play? Don't our players have medical examinations before they are signed onto the payroll. If not we are a very stupid club and very unprofessional. I can't believe Andy Holt would allow player signings without proper due diligence and medical checks.

Just my opinion, but I would not start with Woods, or Adekoya - too young and do not have enough experience.

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
