Macc Thread

Didn't think either team played well in the first half and to be fair I would have been delighted with a 1 nil lead at HT. Macc did very little in the second and by the end of the game Stanley were running the show. I thought 3 or 4 nil would have been fair enough in particular with regards to how Stanley stopped them playing.
 
I was very impressed with the Reds today, everone played well. Macc started well but stanley settled and took control. The defence deserved special mention, another clean sheet and 1700 at the game. It was a great way to start the year, keep it up Stanley I was very suited.
 
Great start to the new year, fer my money Macc weren't that bad, stanley i thought got well on top in second half, sure coley musta told em to keep ball on the ground at half time, anyway they did n were much better for it, woulda been hard to pick MoM today,was a real team effort. Well done reds,keep at em.:)
 
Well another fantastic 3 points and dare I say it, another Playoff push is in full force?? ;)

I though Macc where pretty poor , but who cares, its 3 points and thats all that matters.

Lindfield looked superb, cannot believe the difference in him between this and last season, well done Craig.

Paddy covered every blade of grass, my god that boy tries hard.

Absolutely ESSENTIAL we keep hold of Long till the end of the season, he has nothing to lose by staying, im sure the Clarets dont need him back just yet ;) ?

Its no coincidence we havent lost since Hughes arrived, his calmness on the ball just gives every player the time to get settled and pick the right pass, great to see Coley giving him a rest after an hour today. :)

Interesting to see Hereford beat Burton today, MASSIVE game on Friday night now, just hope I can make it !!!
 
Good game as Brucie would say:)

Stanley over the last month or two have clicked with great movement and pupose by switching the ball from back to front and side to side with real vigour and great passing movement that others sides are struggling to contain.

It's great to see and wonderfully pleasing on the eye reminiscent of our run of form during the second half of last season, I have to give great credit to the management & players alike as others have said it's hard to pick individuals as there have been commanding performances all over the pitch.

Great start to the New Year:alright:
 
Sounds like a great game and a few good performances, interested to here how Charlie did in Joyceys roll, as Imo,its his were he's best
Think playing 4-3-3 is proving to be a master stroke by coley,with Hughes pulling the strings .
I hope long stays, but if burnley want to develop his talent,then he should move up a division,and see how he performs.
Unfortunately for us,I think if would have no problems at all ,class player.
 
does Joyce slip straight back into the starting 11?? Good Question.

Awesome performance today. Bryan Hughes is a different class. 11 brilliant performances today. I've never seen a defense at Stanley so calm and assured. Dunbavin deserves alot of credit for this, how many times did he pass the ball safely, and giving the option everytime for the defender.

ON STANLEY ON.
 
Football19, I thought Charlie was superb today. He worked his socks off. closing the Maccs down at every opportunity and getting into dangerous positions deep in their territory. Along with Hughesy he brings real craft and creativity to our midfield, which for me, was the key difference between the 2 sides. Mind you, he looks so similar to Hughes from a distance that I could be crediting him unjustly! Only one negative for me today - what on earth has happened to the Clayton End? I've never known the Ultras to be so subdued, so much so it was just like an ordinary football ground, not the vibrant, bouncing end it used to be. In Jase's day there would have been non-stop singing for all of the last half hour to bring the boys home to a great victory. What a terrible injustice we suffered when he was sentenced - a punishment horribly out of all proportion to his so called crime. Disgusting.
 
I reckon a few hangover's where present in the Clayton End today ;)

For me as good as Joycey has been for the last 12 months, you cant change a winning team !!!
