smooth operation by the reds, I was impressed with the slick passing and team commitment of not allowing Morecambe time on the ball, a super all round team effort bringing 5 goals that has not been witnessed here since 2010, for 5 mins at the start of the 2nd half Morecambe did flatter but that was soon snuffed out by the reds, Tom Aldred deservedly awarded MotM, our home form this season has been diabolical hopefully we can now boost our home performances on a regular basis and get the fans flocking back
I was ecstatic last night !......well as ecstatic as I allow myself to get with all the prosthetic bits getting in the way !...but YES I was ecstatic. Not only with the resounding result, but also by the skilful and spirited manner in which it was achieved. Mostly though I am more than astounded by the transformation in our team which is unfolding week by week before our eyes. It was there to see at Rochdale on Saturday last when three points were easily within their grasp due to their level of performance, and a continuance of the same efforts really produced the goods against the poor Shrimps, who must allow history to prey upon their collective minds whenever they face the Reds !...one word of commiseration for Jim Bentley though .....'Your lads can't really be as bad as last nights woeful and gutless display suggested....!'...and for the hairless OAP Masquerading as a wing forward, totally dominated by Adam Buxton !....time for the Boneyard !.
We enjoyed it, and seeing the beaming smile on FA19's face (He didn't mention 4-4-2 once incidentally !)...He too was bordering on the ecstatic as well !.
Have a feeling that Saturday's game will be a close encounter of another kind though,
Hope that the gate reflects a resurgence of interest in the Stanley...(But am I wearing my Red tinted spectacles again ? )...and that the result is the right one !.

I waited till this morning to comment on the game to give me chance to calm down a little & reflect objectively on our lads performance - who am i kidding, still on a massive high after what was not just a win, it was a flamin' demolition job!! Well done to each & every one of 'em - just gonna have a peek on the Morecambe forum & see what their take on the game is 
Their take is quite simple, most of em know they were "Stuffed" by the better side on the night.I waited till this morning to comment on the game to give me chance to calm down a little & reflect objectively on our lads performance - who am i kidding, still on a massive high after what was not just a win, it was a flamin' demolition job!!

Its ironic that their centre half (hughes) got injured for us (away at Rochdale) last season,which gave Aldred his chance.
Was this a coincidence that we then went on a great run and avoided relegation?
Watched both their performances last night and Aldred came out on top by a country mile.
Without taking anything away from last nights performance,Morecambe paid the price for playing three young lads in centre mid and never got a foothold in the game.
Their defence sat far too deep,where Acci are comfortable holding a highline,and this gave us the advantage and field position to cause them all kinds of problems

Just trying to work out why they were so crap !!Well i'm a simple guy football19 n the problem was this= We were too good fer em.
On paper decent front three,defenders ok,team in a bit of form,didnt expect them to get blitzed like they did
According to the Beeb's summary (unreliable I know) Stanley had 14 shots, 9 on target, 5 goals. Football's a simple game.
They were blitzed because our lads played out of their skins - simple!,didnt expect them to get blitzed like they did
Aye, Smudgie, he is starting to really look the part. Last night his work rate and fitness was outstanding and his bursts past their defenders were electrifying. He and Gray seem to have grabbed the shirts with their 100% commitment to the cause!Also great to see Hatfield getting another chance
Still getting over the result last night.
WHAT a result that was, wish I was there.
Buxton sounds a real find. Also great to see Hatfield getting another chance
Your right on young Buxton,first impressions he looks a bit unfit,but was told he was a decent player who loved to attack,and he's not disappointed .
As he gets fitter he's getting better and looks a real player.
He's also good in the air and a great touch --hope he stays until the end of the season (then signs on the dotted line

I shook hands with him last night after the game and I think he liked the new nickname I gave him....RHINO..
Adam buxton is our keiran trippier great addition like two players in one
hatfield gives the team alot of energy, I thought the team that played at burton were becoming a little bit predictable and one paced, but all of a sudden we look like play off material, congrats must go to the management team
