vs Macclesfield

still not convinced with the 3-5-2 at home.
leaves to many questions and to many holes down the flanks.

i couldnt see the pen decision clearly from the FES.

Stanley where a differnet team in each half tonight.
1st half roberts looked poor and wasnt sure who to mark and proctor was out of sorts in the middle. Dont get me wrong, we played some great stuff after Macc had settled down, but we lacked a quality final ball. Mullin and dsane where not being found.
We where lucky not to go in behind, our high line defending left macc with plenty of space for their pacey players to get in behind.


Second half, alot better. More positive play. The final ball was better, the play was more penetrative and the players where hungry to score.
Macc couldnt handle us when it went 2-0.
And them we sat back for some reason? Stanleys best form of defence is attack.
The idea for the 3rd goal caught Macc by suprise. Well done roscoe.

I though John Miles worked alot harder tonight than he ever has in a Stanley shirt. His performance was a 6/10 and he influenced little, but he put in more work which is what we want to see.

Part of me feels sorry for Leyton who IMO deserved his start for his great goal on Sunday.

Nice to see Boco come on.

BTW, i had 4 witton albion fans with me along with another 2 liverpool fans who have been before; the witton lads where amazed by the atmosphere. They where seriously considering taking up Stanley as a second team on the way home.

bring on high flying Barnet.
 
Also a special mention to the crowd for what must be world record on the cheering of the Macclesfield Goalkeeper waiting to take the goal kick while they made two substitutions:D Pure Class

me and my mate moved down for the second half right behind the goal to keep him verbally entertained.
Last year it made him really nervous, a part of me thinks I helped stanley win tonight.
 
I love the Beeb's description of Roscoe's second:
Headed goal by Roscoe D'Sane (Accrington Stanley) (low centre of goal) :)
 
Reasonable display, right result.:D

3 more points towards the 52,my target. (I've never seen a goal like Roscoe's second since I was at school!!):eek:

If Coley reads this..... Surely the answer to the forward(s) equation has been provided.Mullers and Roscoe.

Slight worry, apparently Mr. Cotterill was present tonight for apparently the 3rd time, and the rumour ( and I only hope it IS a rumour) is that he's watching Proctor.

Echoes of last season ???

Doubt it. He was probably just filling in a blank Friday night on his doorstep at what are seen as friendly neighbours :)
 
Which bit, the friendly neighbours or the fact he didn't want to sit at home bored to tears ? :)

If he didn't have sinister intentions, he would have gone out and got plastered like most good Burnley Mashers seem to do on a Friday night!:)

i thought last night was what footballs all about 100% passion, effort goals ,atmosphere, excitement ,tension what else can you ask for...and a goal everybody will be talking about for years a bit of history folklore .remember against macc lads roscoes goal last night was one of them goals i bet it will be on question of sport what happened next.we will know:D:D:Da perfect weekend ...:Banane25::Banane25::Banane25::Banane25::Banane25::Banane25::Banane25::Banane25::Banane25::Banane25::Banane25::Banane25::Banane25:
 
thought the atmosphere was fantastic and thoroughly enjoyed the match and yes roscoe's second goal was a cheeky one but oh how much I loved it :D

Brought to liverpool fans with me who thought it was great and one of those is also from barrow so thanks to jase and the ultras for the Barrow chants, he loved em :p

But no more friday night matches please as I my head is still really tender over 24 hours later...nothing to do with the copious amounts of alcohol consumed through the night of course :rolleyes:
