Not to mention looking to revenge a 6-1 defeat!
I just hope, under their new regime, fighting isn’t the operative word.

Big test for Morgan hope he does well presume Russell playing upfront chance for him to showcase his talent.
Glad about the first 2, in my opinion they need a rest and need to recover!!
We look like strangers so far.......new lads need to improve..
Squad game I know what you mean but to be honest the service to the front has been pretty poor they have to be fair pressed well and the new manager has give them a bit of belief, don't think Russell works in the role hes in maybe throw Phillips in there.
Truth is that three at the back does not work if you do not have forwards who keep the play up in the opponents half. No Bishop to do that tonight and Dion has not had a decent pass yet. Also need to employ the ‘high press’ to achieve this! Wide open at ‘right back’ because we are not using one! Smyth has been the only decent player for Stanley so far. We also went to sleep for the second goal. I reckon our boys were thinking about the coffee and tea being served up in the next minute!
McConville and Butcher are playing too deep to affect the game.....assume thats where they've been told to play. Bristol aren't good but better than us. Long balls to short players need to be so accurate and correctly weighted........and we haven't be able to do that. Maybe a change of formation needed......can't lose anything....4-4-2 ....with Nottingham, Burgess, Hughes and Barclay at the back.....McConville, Butcher, Phillips and Morgan in midfield......and Smyth and Charles up top...any thoughts?
