Courtney not quite match fit I presume but he,ll need minutes somewhere I agree about Pritchard good talent but looks like 1 upfront ok away but hope if we get a result it's no good at home.
 
GOOD To see Pritchard starting but not being 100% fit dont usually stop J.C. from playing people.
 
Bishop has missed a fine chance heading over. Will have to have a look tonight but I think we were lucky with Covs penalty appeal.
45 minutes gone and still struggling to work out our formation !
Keeper continues to be a worry for me. Holds nothing parries all the time.
 
Clean sheets are a good sign we have sorted out the defence and keeper improving; averaging a goal per game will ensure we will be in for a bottom half finish.
Billy Kee issue aside, we need to create more goals for the strikers, they are simply not getting enough good quality chances.
 
Conneely best player in a Stanley shirt today.
Has been fantastic last few games.
& still people can’t see it.
Baffling.

Dav !.. I think you mean to say just acquire some goals from anywhere !... goalless league matches are beginning to become a bit of an unwanted habit, and a clean sheet every week can not be guaranteed I'm afraid !.

But where will the goals come from I wonder ?.. I'm sure someone must have the answer !.
A point for discussion ?.:confused::cool:
 
Pretty mundane affair from both sides incapable of threatening the goal for much of the match but Stanley did well to hold out for a point.
Ref started the first half being extremely lenient, trying to keep the game moving, and Stanley were very lucky not to concede a penalty. In the second half the players started taking advantage and fouls and play-acting became more frequent, more nasty, and eventually led to the sending off.
Thought Evtimov, Hughes, Opoku, Alese, and Conneely played very well - the rest were ineffective to a lesser or greater degree.
Really missed Clark’s input today, he was unusually quiet and Pritchard’s weak shot straight at their keeper in the opening minutes was Stanley’s best and only chance on target.
Still cannot understand what Coleman sees in Zanzala. On my (admitted limited) exposure to both players Charles seems at least as quick if not quicker, and certainly stronger.
 
On the face of it, a point away at Coventry is not to be sniffed at.
However, the no-score draw did us no favours, in fact we dropped a place due to Tranmere's away victory at MK Dons.
After Tuesday nights goal-fest, I fully expected young 'Prince' Charles to at least get on the field.
Instead, Coley gives 'Baron' Zanzala (get it?) another 30 wasted minutes.
Meanwhile, we're now only 2 points above the drop zone.
 
Bitterly disappointed we didn’t make the man advantage work. Half an hour but you wouldn’t have known it. Conneely yet again solid as a rock.
