Bits & Bobs

0-0 stalemate for the U23s against (third place) Wrexham today in the Central League.
Interestingly, Clark and Conneely started and Nottingham on the bench.
Well done lads.
Looking forward to seeing the U23s take on top of the table Blackpool at end of the month.
 
Obviously you know where to look for up to date news, MikeA!
This is still on Stanley’s web site this morning…

Something odd. Can anyone explain?
At yesterday’s defeat to Wycombe, according to the BBC, Bolton made six substitutions.
I can find no reference as to why, other than a report on the Trotters’ web site that states that Bolton’s final substitute came on after a concussion to “the hosts”.
I can only presume that should have read “the visitors”.
So, my query is why, if you can make a sixth sub after a concussion, did Stanley not bring someone on after Tharme was stretchered off against Lincoln? Did we simply not have a sixth sub that day?

Yes we had a 6th sub available but suspect in the chaios of the day and the scoreline in the 90th minute we choose not to use that option. IF you use a concussion sub the opposition can also make an additional sub. If you use a cooncussion sub there is a lot of additional external protocols to follow on the medical side of things.
As we didn't use the option Doug's return is in the hands of of medical teams hands. We and Doug choose when he's ready to return
 
Thank you for the explanation, Mr. T.
Not sure about the logic behind the opposition also being able to make a sub as well as the team whose player gets concussed but, heh, that’s football.

Yes Lord S. Same at my end. I left a request somewhere a while ago for it to be investigated but no action yet. I have also deleted and tried to update my avatar image a couple of times but without any luck.
ADMIN or whoever please investigate.
Thank you.

The whole U23 squad played well today.
Two well-matched teams, but Stanley bossed the first half and went in 0-1 up. Blackpool came out and applied more pressure and deservedly got the equaliser. But then Stanley got a penalty, very well converted by Nolan, then got the upper-hand again and bagged two more, with Dan Martin hitting a sweet shot from the edge of the box.
Really enjoyable watch, great team work and effort. I suspect the experience of playing first team football for many of the Stanley team made the difference.
Too many good displays to pick a single MotM.
Well done to the lads and the coaching staff.
Stanley U23s top of the Central League and remain unbeaten!

SNOW WARNING on local weather tonight. Let's hope Stanley get the covers on the pitch tomorrow if not on already........4 inches of snow forecast tomorrow from 3pm onwards.....would be a shame to have Portsmouth at home next Tuesday called off twice due to bad weather......
 
Mo Sangare cracking goal playing in midfield for his country �� should have said it's near the end of the vid but it does mention he's an Accrington Stanley player ��
