It wasn't good but we give them the first goal scoring 2 good goals to get back in it and should have had a penalty blatent shove on Phillips small margins but agree wasn't good but apart from Hull and Ipswich all slipping up again Lincoln the stand out losing to Rochdale still games to play and hopefully last 2 are out the system and we get some bodies back and confidence in playing like we can.

i dont blame him for that at all how can a team like us provide a squad like the big teams? it just cannot be done as far as im concerned. whatever we have had a damn good season fans been in dreamworld this term shame some cant see it imho.
Rotation is the way 
Cannot count an enforced one before anybody mentions Phillips
I am not bothered what anybody says - we are all allowed an opinion - playing the same 13 players week in, week out is not helping matters and that is my opinion
I will of course be posting on here at 21:00 Wednesday night, after the same XI spank The Black Cats and I have dusted off that recipe for humble pie
And still not made a substitution...

i agree hughsey said Bristol was worst he had seen stanley play Today was worse than that in my book,
Good job your not KJ or you would be SCREAMING
Yeah I know Cashy. We have had a great season so far and I am really in dreamland (with you!)
Today, unlike mid-week, we did fight our way back into touching distance of getting something out of the game, but then failed to keep hold of that precious point. So frustrating.......on Tuesday we were awful and deserved nothing...but today.......maybe we just deserved something....
On Stanley On.....
Sometimes adversity makes you appreciate what you have.
Straight down the middle of the park front to back we are weak.
Baxter Sykes Conneely Bishop in that side and we win.
Add Pritchard wide and McConville in his proper position and we’re strong.
No ones fault it is what it is.
On the subject of subs I saw no one named that would have made a blind bit of difference.

Re: Rotation is the way
What sub would you have made?
For what it’s worth I thought both Hughes and Burgess were dreadful today.

Re: Rotation is the way
So we're Savin, McConville, Phillips, need I go on looking at the bench you haven't much attacking options and getting back to 2-2 it had worked just went to sleep about in the 92nd minute and let the lad have to much room to in honesty deliver a peach of a cross for the winner.

Just Baxter playing today against that mediocre lot would have made a difference, with all the others fit and playing we would have murdered them, but we,ll never know because they weren't available so you go with what you have and to be honest we should have seen the game out for a draw.
A good job Stanley have got so high up the table because at the moment, with all our injuries and now a lack of confidence, it is difficult to see where our next win can be achieved.
Still we have to continue to BELIEVE that we will turn the corner.
ON STANLEY ON.
KEEP THE FAITH.
..Troube is that waiting for that corner to be turned is driving me round the bend
Interesting listening to John Coleman just now seems to think that Sean was immense today and at 2-2 thought there was only going to be one winner, agree slightly with the second point but Sean no was nowhere near immense, but have to agree again about some refereeing decisions against us were woeful especially the two challenges first half on Smyth that didn't even bring a free kick but we had 5 yellow cards 2 of which he says we're very soft. But says defence no good last 2 games 7 against all he says avoidable.

Come on then colours to the mast name one who would ?

Balance is required.
Barclay could easily have walked.
He could / should have been booked before he got the yellow for a cynical tackle.
I was a little surprised today at Coleys interview.
Maybe when hes calmed down he’ll think differently.
Twenty Eight. As I said earlier, I would have brought Maguire on for one of our midfield players on a yellow card.......Morgan, Barclay, Rogers plus Smyth and Burgess all very reluctant to tackle in the last fifteen to twenty minutes or just not quick enough! The Dons third goal came from one of their centre backs waltzing straight through our midfield then the ball was played out to the left and the cross in was unchallenged by Hughes. Maguire would have been able to ‘take one for the team’ and stop the centre back breaking through. Even if it earned him a yellow card too. (I hate that phrase ....’taking one for the team’). Surely Maguire needed to be used with our inadequacies currently in midfield!
When you have 5 players on a yellow a sub would be sensible any of them but Coley didn't and upto the 92nd minute it worked, even though I wouldn't say every player in Stanley's squad is league 1 standard and I will slate a poor performance after the event to say what you did is,nt a sensible post the lads need encouragement and support from " fans ".
