Morecambe Match Thread

Simplistic game plan,keep possession of the ball and they can't score,keep the ball moving and they have to chase it and finally take your chances when they come.
We did two reasonably well,the goals will come, windlass,Morgan,kee and crookes had half chances,and we got into good areas but went sideways instead of pulling the trigger.
We are a very young inexperienced team and will learn fast.
Tuesday's game will be tough as they will be on a high beating notts county away.
Need to start will a clean sheet !!!

I am always hesitant to disagree with you F19, but I don't think this is true. Piero (23), Kee (24), Deano & Gornell (25), McConville (26), Conneely (27), Barry (29). I wouldn't put any of there in the "very young" category. :hidewall:

Or inexperienced
 
Well you have all being crying out for Adam Morgan to either get a start or come on off the bench. He did yesterday and not one of you who went to the match has mentioned this fact! How did he do in the 20 or so minutes he played after replacing Coneelly? According to the Beeb, he missed our best chance not Josh, but hey ho I wasn't there so cannot comment on that one. The run had to end sometime and as shakermaker has said, we aspired to be at the level Morecambe were at and then surpassed them. All these years without being beaten has now come to an end. On to Tuesday night and Mansfield come to town. Back on track, we all hope.
 
Think we lost this one from being tired myself! The hull game I though had took it out on our players and most of them looking lethargic and like others have said not that very penetrating against the not so amazing Morecambe defence! Good goal for Morecambe with a great passing move but after that it was every man behind the ball to get a result! Things just didn't tick for Stanley yesterday but we need to start hitting the target and finishing these chances! This is why we have players such as Gornell and Kee and I think they both need to up their game!! Piero I thought should of carried on running towards goal and finished it himself instead of slowing it down and passing it to Morgan who then should of equally of finished and Windass should of easily bagged also but they had the look as we wasted the chances!

Like watching some of the nice football we play too but for me crooks look tired and kept on slowing the ball down and then trying to turn all the time with it which obviously Bentley and the players have done their homework as he kept getting found out!

Need a win on Tuesday to kick off our season! :)

Those players have played over 1000 Football league games between them, is that inexperienced?

Clear to see that they are good players, is it just matter of giving them chance to gel?

As it's been said already, Morecambe put many men behind the ball making it harder for us in the final 3rd...Im sure it will click and someone will be on the end of a hiding, just hope it's sooner rather than later!

Revived,always read your posts with interest.
I may not have worded my post correctly (funny yonmons not pulled me up!),i meant young in terms of experience.
I have always said you should only class yourself as a football pro when youve played fifty league games.
Of yesterdays starting eleven(including morecambe game)
Mooney 9
Pearson 10
Davies 2
Wakefield 7
Connelly 14
Crookes 16
Windass 29

Even Piero has only 73 league games under his belt..
That to me is very inexperienced !!!!

As one of the most persistent of agitators on behalf of Morgan, I too would like to know how he did. I know he missed a chance but in that he is no different from both Terry and Billy who have both missed a few in the last three games, but did he look at all dangerous and get into good positions? I know you are more a connoisseur of defenders Footbal19, but what did you think?
 
Morgan didn't do nothing wrong,but played too deep for me.
He's not blessed with searing pace and his game is similar to frannie Jeffers ( on the shoulder and sniffing a chance out)
Good player tho,like most young lads he needs game time to develop,it a difficult as its a results industry!!!.
It's a long season and he will get opportunities I am sure of that.
Thought their CB (Edwards) had a good game and they packed the midfield in the second half.
 
Disappointed yesterday. Certainly think we looked a bit jaded, missed a few good opportunities, and didn't make the most of a lot of midfield possession and decent passing.

One characteristic missing - ruthlessness. Need to get a cross in at the earliest opportunity with 2/3 other players racing in to get on the end of it/pick up any scraps (see Lukaku's 2nd goal for Everton yesterday)

My turn to talk tactics !!...hopefully !.
It occurred to me that Edwards only had half a good game FA, and that prior to half time Terry kept him more than occupied and maybe came out well on top !..However in the second half when Terry failed to appear this Centre Back suddenly found himself with much more time to sweep up and nullify many of Stanley's forward movements which made him look much more successful !. Therefore in my opinion the non-emergence of our striker was perhaps the pivotal point in the team's lack of attacking thrust in the second period, and possibly denied us the point (s) which the team deserved !.

As a footnote !.... Is Sean McConville really capable of playing up to current Football League standards ??...
I'm not sure, and Alfred.E (who never really cared for him much anyway, says quite emphatically NO !!) ..so our jury is out !.
 
Fair points Yonmon, thought Terry's movement was good until he was subject to a bad tackle and it seemed to effect the balance of the team.
Our four nightclub bouncers are no angels tho 😀

Get young Phillips in instead! Has twice the attacking go in him than our Seany has.
 
So Sean McConville been chosen as this seasons scape goat as Crookys was last season, Joyce the season before?

That or some people haven't forgiven Sean for still paying off his monthly payments for the miss at Stevenage semi final in 2011!!

Think most will agree this is the best team we've seen at the crown for some years, let's just get behind the team and club and I'm sure we'll come good!
