Couldn’t agree more, other than I gave the curry and rice a 9.
 
i would give the management team ZERO mark, not making a substitution when after first 20 mins we were not at races is pathetic to me, also the nearest we came to an eqalizer, was a free kick just out of the area, when |Bursik came way down field to take it, what does that say about our so called strikers? ok bursik cocked up for there goal, but at least the lad tried to get a result, how many times was the ball up front with a shot on? how many times did we pass instead and the chance was missed?

Cashy Bursik shouldn't be up there taking a free kick were is the leadership on the pitch or on the touchline could go wrong and lead straight to a goal in our net worst thing I,ve seen in a while, as well as this team that seems to run out of ideas and enthusiasm around about 25 minutes into a game something needs to be done about forward options as ours are rank at the moment some of the worst I,ve ever seen watching Stanley.

What substitution would you have made Cashy?

Whilst I disagree with the whole ‘concentrate’ on league statement people seem to love when getting knocked out of a cup competition ; the reality is that being in League 1 instead of 2 will generate more income than a day out at Wembley.

Fully agree with your first sentiment StanleyJosh.
However, I think the initial euphoria of reaching the heights of L1 is already starting to wane, reflected by the slowly falling attendances.
I know many supporters regard this competition as a tin-pot trophy but, let's be honest, this was probably our one & only chance of appearing on the hallowed turf of Wembley.
I don't know what the finalist's receive for reaching Wembley but I do know that half of Accrington would have turned out, not to mention the many exiles who still have affection for their home town team.
We don't follow football to generate income for the club, we follow it because we crave our day in the sun.
Success is the only guarantee of wealth in any sphere, failure the fastest route to penury.
If this bad run continues, watch the income disappear faster than you can say 'Bob's Your Uncle!'
 
i dont know who the subs were, but to be honest i would have took off Finley though he scored he was very poor again, i would have put a couple of players on on the hour, there is NO plan B, doubt if they even know what that is.

You don't know who the subs were? C'mon Cashy, how poor does that sound.

Savin, Rodgers, Maguire, Barclay, LKS, Diallo, Simpson.

With that bench I would not have made 1 change either.

If Carvalho/Sousa was on bench, I would have taken off Ozzy, and put one of those on. Pushed Sykes up top to make a nuisance of himself, and dropped Pritchard into the middle to pick up the second ball.
 
i have no idea how it sounds and care even less, am pretty deaf so never heard announcement, ozzy woulda been the other un i removed.so not a great deal on bench but thats Super Johnny Coleman for yeh.

Keeping in mind we are missing Billy, Sean and Courtney....
 
Does anyone know why Sousa does not get a look in as an impact player?

I can only remember seeing him twice and both times he kinda turned the game (Stevenage 3-2 and Fleetwood in the tin pot cup).

Could have pushed Alese into midfield has good feet isn,t a left back could have brought Maguire on who has a good left peg, as for forwards someone out of the crowd couldn't have been much worse.
 
I wasn't there last night, but amazed that there's a suggestion that Finley be subbed. He must have had a nightmare.....Even at his worst he's still our best player? no?

Looking at the league table, we've scored two more goals than Wycombe this season. Does that represent a forward crisis? From the matches I've seen I'd say Bishop + Charles are reasonably effective, although in common with all other players, their shooting is crap. We are creating loads of chances - enough to see us in the top half of the table - having good possession and the defence is not getting torn apart.

It's just a case of keeping the faith and not panicking.... and maybe a few extra hours trying to hit a barn door from 10-20 yards.

How about a couple of days on the wobble board for Zanzala. I'd make him sleep standing up. Give his muscles something to remember.

If you think that Finley is our best player even at his worse then "Lord" have mercy on us all.
 
Reference to Lord D .....
“It's just a case of keeping the faith and not panicking.... and maybe a few extra hours trying to hit a barn door from 10-20 yards.”

I have every confidence in all our strikers hitting a barn door. What separates teams at this level is hitting “a cows arse”.

Time for Coley to invest in more banjos!

Frankly, poor recruitment was called out by many on here before the start of the season. Too many contract favours in lieu of proper scouting for punts which is usually our strength.
