vs Derby
- Thread starter Kiwi John
- Start date
Derby are the best side i have seen up stanley this season if they dont go straight back up i will be amazed. but why SUPER JOHN did not substitute Super SEAN at half time is beyond me,the 5 off us could tell he was going to miss BOTH Penalties. he was shocking today,in fact can anyone tell me when he has been taken off? cos i sure cannot remember,
I agree Cashy from the off he was ducking out of tackles but we have two wide men at the wrong end of their careers and sadly it's showing and Liegh I feel for him out of position when we had two fit big strikers on the bench playing at home that to me is baffling.
Heard Coley on Radio Lancs railing against a fan who suggested it was “men against boys”, which for the most part that seemed pretty accurate to me.
I’ve just had fish and chips and I know what battered looks like, but I can’t imagine how anyone could think Stanley “battered” Derby in the first half. Flattered, maybe, but, c’mon, Coley, take a deep breath and admit Derby were (another) stronger, faster, and fitter side, of which there are a few in this league.
For once the stats say it all. Stanley had one shot on target, which would bad enough except that they had two penalties!
Can’t blame the ref and Savin was at no fault for three well created and taken goals.
One glimmer of brightness was Toure’s impact - he rattled their central defenders. Really sorry for Sangare - just hope his injury is less serious than it looked - another long term defender on the physio’s table is the last thing Stanley need.

I arrived at the ground at 12.45 and left at 17.10 but must have missed the whole game if Mr Coleman thinks we were the better team for large periods of the game.
The game i watched today suggested the away team were quicker to the ball, capable of passing accurately to each of their colleagues with excellent distribution and clinical in front of goal. Stop making poor excuses for a poor team performance Mr Coleman. Apart from a 10 or 15 minute period in the second half where we slightly raised our game, then other than that we were dire.

Cashy, as I said last week, our 'senior' players are now too long in the tooth, and no longer have the speed, control and dare I say it ability to perform at League 1 level !.
This was so apparent this afternoon when our Captain, with his abysmal efforts from the Penalty spot, his inaibility to tackle and play telling crosses failed to provide the leadership
which is so necessary to drive the efforts made by our extremely average squad.
AccyMad, will be furious with me I'm afraid, but I think I might be echoing the thoughts of many.
My saddest memory from this afternoon was, as the second penalty was wasted, seeing the heads of our back four drop in non-belief !..
Can't believe (no, actually I can) how quick some are to jump.on Sean's back - ok, he didn't have his best game & can't believe he fluffed the penalties but did anyone else step up for the 2nd one? Think you'll find the answer is No!
First half we were outplayed, Derby were much quicker than us but in the 2nd half we were much better, keeping the ball for long periods & playing some decent football - unfortunately too little too late.
Think most were relieved to finally see not one but two strikers on the pitch but again, why weren't they introduced earlier?
Just hope Mo's injury isn't as bad as it looked - the lad has had enough bad luck!

Well, for what it is worth, around the time Sean missed the penalties, we were on top.
We had hit the bar just before and had weathered the storm.
Matters not now, but if we had scored - rather than hitting the bar - or converted the penalty, it was a different game!
Regardless of what anybody says/thinks, Coley is correct in the fact that Derby were wasting time from 20 minutes in and defending their lead for the whole of the second half - how far we have come, but so many have forgotten...........
In Coley we trust

Correct AccyMad
Could see the pain in his face walking off an he will be desperate to put that right. Regardless of anything an rather worrying is that Sean looks like the only player who’s got a goal or two in him at the minute. How Tommy Leigh won mom is beyond me. Clearly not a striker an done nothing of note all game.
Can only imagine JC's reaction to yesterdays defeat had more to do with sheer frustration than logic.
You can view missing one penalty as unfortunate - to miss two is unforgivable.
According to JC, last week at Plymouth we were the better team. Sorry JC, no we weren't. The best team won 3-0 and remain league leaders.
At the end of the day the result trumps sentiment and history will record yesterday as a 3-0 victory for Derby County.
If points were awarded for 'ifs, buts & maybe's', Stanley would lead the table.

Cashy, Sean has been subbed off and on, on many occasions
Though, I do think he has played most games this season
ta joe my memories like me KNACKERED.Cashy, Sean has been subbed off and on, on many occasions

Clutching at straws comes to mind yes we have been unfortunate with injuries but beaten twice on the trot 3-0 and claim you are the better side on both occasions is daft. And to call out a fan in an interview isn't on especially as the club are trying to attract more, if anyone should have been singled out it was the idiot throwing things at their keeper that behaviour isn't on and can land the club in trouble .
What did disappoint me Lord S was seeing in the 90th minute Derby County's Captain demanding more from his players , irregardless of the score.. Whilst our stand-in leader was wandering around aimlessly seemingly having given up the fight !.
Now this is not right !...If ever a team needed grabbing by the throat and shaking into life it is NOW !. But just where such a leader exists at The Crown at present is hard to see I'm afraid !.
Having admired and said as much, I hope that I wasn't 'jumping on Sean's back 'when I suggested that the time to maybe think of hanging up boots is nigh .. Merely passing opinion based on making comparisons with those midfielders/wingers in other teams which we see week in week out The Crown.
Of course, this is just me thinking aloud, and I could be entirely wrong !..
Just on the "men against boys" comment, was it really???
Had Sean scored instead of hitting the post, it was a different game.
The second Harvey mistimed his headed interception, we were a goal down - even before the ball had a) got to the number 23, b) number 23 controlled the ball, c) 23 sent the defender the wrong way, d) 23 smashed the ball into the back of the net!!!
The 2 on loan lads up front were very classy and very assured.....I'd settle for just 1 of them at the moment
