Sorry cashman but i disagree with you , how many teams have come to Acci and played them off the park by playing from the back ? not many if any.
Indeed both Notts county and Rochdale and Bury changed there tatics half way through the game and went direct which resulted in getting 3 points.
Viewing the pitch from the side lines is different from actually playing on it.
It was comical on saturday watching both teams warming up,the ball was bouncing in all directions even messi would have struggled on the pitch, higher league clubs water the pitches before,and at half time to try and avoid making a mockery of trying to play entertaining football

Rochdale is a good un to mention. we saw 2 good sides one who has been chasing promotion all season, we saw a good match,on that crap pitch, came away disapointed, but not upset or annoyed, general concensus was the best team on day won, seen quite a few good displays at home from stanley this season, no-one seems to blame the crap pitch fer that?
beats the hell outa me.
beats the hell outa me.True, they were playing decent football when the pitch was dead /wet and not as lively,but things seemed to derail after the fulham game.
wheither some players thought they were better than they are after competing with prem players i dont know,but when we were playing well we were defending from the front,and getting possession in the oppositions third of the field.
Other teams may have picked up on this and play more direct against us.
This results in Putting the defence under an ariel threat and really only kempo has that physical presence to try and deal with it.
A must is for a holding /ball winning midfielder with a physical precence who can screen the centre backs as well as midfield runners.
I was impressed with the coloured lad of port vale who bullied proctor as well as not losing an header all game and not allowing the ball to get to symes feet.
It just takes the pressure off your defenders and allows them to look to get forward in the knowledge someone will fill in if the play breaks down

Make your mind up. Is it the pitch or is the the lack of suitable personnel?
It seems to me you are neither watching the game nor reading these posts. Several people have commented on the poor pitch - read the posts again.
If you are correct in saying that the coaching staff have changed tactics since February, why should they have done that?
We won 9 out of 12 matches between 1 December and 6 February. Why on earth change winning tactics?Why do you say "the team has good players on the ball"? Most people are saying exactly the opposite. Our players treat the ball like a hot potato.

good post mate, seems to me some folk are too diplomatic, or make excuses, dont understand or know which.
me i say things as i see em, aint always right, but think if more folk did, things in life in general would be much better.
But doesnt prove a thing because opposition players still manage to find the back of the net & win balls, techincally stanley should be fairing better as its their home pitch
In-correct on the first point,as i have only missed four games home and away all season,secondly my posts are based on my observations during these games.Make your mind up. Is it the pitch or is the the lack of suitable personnel?

I go to watch both teams playing football not just acci,so i dont get as emotionally involved like other posters.
I am not coaching at the moment but have my level 2 badge,and enjoy the technical side of two coaches pitting they wits against each other.
After 50 games you can see the stronger older more experienced players start having a greater impact in games ( its playing for a new contract time )
Proctor is a key figure for acci in terms of ball winning and physical presence and he will admit not being at his best for a while.
joyce,ryan,and miles are good footballers but not ball winners which the team needs when things arent going there way
ok yer in to coaching, well tell me if ya see what i see every match? agree that procter is a ball winner, but every time 2 stanley players go to win a ball at the same time, 1 is always procter, that simple thing messes things up big time frequently, or are we not watching the same matches.
How does that work mate, we have played some games away!!!!
well to be honest i think yer n arrogant git, to suggest others don't go to watch both teams,
It must be hard on the two keepers warming up together without any coach anywhere near them, they do their best but I am sure they would benefit even if somebody came in part time to help them out.
I am sure you could help there if your Level 2 in coaching?

Me no enough on my plate at Holt House at the mo
Although come the end of the season I may be approachable
So based on your in-depth analysis and knowledge of coaching, can you explain why the Stanley coaches changed their methods in February as you claim?
Can you also explain why it is the "stronger older more experienced players" who are playing for a new contract rather than the younger ones?

I fancy doing the job for two or three months as well! although I will be busy again by August
i think football 19 must be making life very difficult for winnard in the dressing room. if the other players are reading the site am not sure they would take kindly to some observations of players ( miles , procky etc)when quite clearly you are getting some information off dean. might i suggest, with the priviliged position you have of inside information that you select carefully what you decide to share. some things are best left in the dressing room.

I understand what you mean rude dog,but if you know deano he doesnt talk about football to anybody and doesnt even read football forums.
I suppose if its your job you eventually get sick of people asking you questions.
All my posts are my own views and i am not daft enough to embaress him as most posters are aware i know him.
Still think proctor has had a dip in form tho ! and proves what an important player he is
