Posted via Mobile Device. Thats it radio off bloody heck im ****ed off now 3 nil down at home to conference league team!
vs Northampton
- Thread starter Kiwi John
- Start date
Reality check me thinks.
I think reality is going to be better than that after we have licked our wounds otherwise it would be heaven help us.
Referee was the worst I've ever seen absolutely terrible. Their penalty should never have been given - their fat bastard forward leaned on Phil and Phil crumpled under the weight no chance in hell there was any wrong doing by the Stanley man - should have been the other way around if anything.
The linesman at the main stand side however was even worse than the referee, from now on I could only trust him to officiate fictional games and even then I wouldn't be confident. Didn't make a right decision all night - first half half a dozen blatent offsides ignored - second half foul after foul after foul on our forwards, didn't flag when we were offside and combined with the referee to ignore as clear a penalty as you'll see this century.
****ing disgraceful that prats like these can ruin proffesional games.
Stanley dominated possession and created more chance. Scoreline does not reflect the game. Only wish stanley had played it on the floor - we can beat anyone are football its longball we're ****e at.

Dominated possession? - maybe, but what good is that when you play the ball sideways continually in front of their midfield? Alternatively a big hoof up to Mully from where it is anyone's guess where the ball will end up. I suppose the plan is for Kee to get on the end of his efforts, but the poor lad hasn't got a chance of knowing where to position himself. I thought our good, quick movement up front towards the end of last season, when Mully was loaned out, was going to be the much-needed start of a new era but no - the quick lads like Turner, McConville and Symes have to warm the bench.
How Bobby Grant gets to start in front of our other two cracking wingers is a mystery. Even more of a mystery is how he got man of the match! I have never seen a player give away so much possession like he does by treating the ball like a hot potato, and as for his free kicks, well......... Rant over, but please, please Coley - change things round up front on Saturday.
Well, that wasn't fun!
The team was a shadow of the side that beat Lincoln. We started poor and ended worse. Distribution was poor, movement was poor, energy levels were non-existant. Kee wasn't fit at all and the rest of the players looked knackered from the first minute. Granted, the officials were pretty terrible but we didn't do ourselves any favours at all. It would take too long to note the failings of each individual so let's keep it to the few positives: Kempson played well again and until the clumsy challenge towards the end Joyce was equally solid. Ultras sounded good tonight. Got free chips.
Northampton Town have got to be the most average side ever to win three nil.

An awful match with the ref and linesmans as bad as each other!
No-one impressed at all, Miles tried in the first half and gave up in the second but Darren Kempson was always getting stuck in there and if it wasnt for his awful balls then he wouldnt of had such a bad game!
Jimmy Ryan was also terrible first half and like me and MCR was saying , he should always play in the centre , its his best position and played well in the second half!
Proccy did ok aswell, trying to take lead and spur his team on!
The worst dissapointment tonight was this game plan all night to hoof the ball up to Mullin and see what would happen! It was awfull!!! Did anyone else notice? Smash it up and hope he would head it on and we would get a chance! It didnt work yet we kept doing it! What happened to the down on the ground football we played against Rotherham, Walsall and Lincoln? We outdid them teams playing that football yet we change the game plan!
Chris Turner needs to get involved more aswell and Kee doesnt look fit at all!
Not the best game but Roll on Aldershot!!!!!

stanley dominated sod all to all us lot, the best team won simple as, as fer the penalty we thought it was blatant n as the last man was lucky not to be sent off, ya could tell by a country mile Northampton were playing in a higher grade last season, the dark lad at right back was outstanding.ok the ref wasn't great but no excuses neither were stanley,Mullen had a shocker totally not at the races tonight, coley has no excuse to me fer leaving him on the pitch, apart from the fact it must be his lovechild.
why they started larruping the ball up in the air after 25 mins or so is mind blowing, what mullen did win had no direction at all, just bouncing anywhere off his napper. apart from that spell i didn't think stanley were that bad, northampton were just better. they have played some good football so far this term playing on the ground, lets hope they revert to that on sat.

"if it wasnt for his awful balls then he wouldnt of had such a bad game!",
Bit unfair to get so personal.

That seems a fair assessment, oh and there were some lovely bats flying around the Clayton End roof!!stanley dominated sod all to all us lot, the best team won simple as, as fer the penalty we thought it was blatant n as the last man was lucky not to be sent off, ya could tell by a country mile Northampton were playing in a higher grade last season, the dark lad at right back was outstanding.ok the ref wasn't great but no excuses neither were stanley,Mullen had a shocker totally not at the races tonight, coley has no excuse to me fer leaving him on the pitch, apart from the fact it must be his lovechild.
Haha , sorry had to be done"if it wasnt for his awful balls then he wouldnt of had such a bad game!",

I think Joyce is wasted at right back. We need him spraying the ball about in midfield and linking defence and attack. I also think Winnard is much better at right back than on the left, so bring back Chris King with instructions not to pass to the opposition.
Captain has to warm the bench for me, I'm afraid.

it amuses me how so few people have such a widely differing view of the same game!!
but I am no different to the rest of you so here's my two pences worth.
Taken in a nutshell we were pretty crap tonight BUT we conceded early to an absolute cracker of a goal and then not long after -despite dominating most of the open play we gave away a cheap penalty. My view of it was that it was a penalty about fiv eminutes before the ref actually blew! Edwards had tried to kick him in the head then pulled and pulled until eventually he pulled the guy over. At two nil down we were pretty nacked against a well drilled side. However their goalkeeper has still had to pull off two fantastic saves, Mullin and Grant have missed what appeared to be sitters from a couple of yards out, and we have ridiculously managed to miss a fifth penalty out of six.
Their third goal was comedy defending again though. Long throw that we have allowed to bounce three times before backing as far away from the striker as possible. It was only going in the back of the net and the once again stationary Martin was unable to save us.
I think that Martin needs to be a little quicker at coming off his line.
Joyce is a damned fine defender when it comes to distributing it out - its just the defending bit he struggled with.
Grant was crap tonight and how he won MOM only the drunken match sponsors will ever know.
Kee didn't look fit but was still the main threat we had in the first half and he will be pished at getting subbed again.
Mullin will know that he has had better games and few more ineffective.
Coley has to ensure that this pathetic long ball shy t does not rematerialise. And somebody needs to tell him that you are allowed to use more than one substitute particularly when losing 2-0.
Turner needs to stop thinking about why he agreed to sign a new two year deal.
Sounds negative? yes it is but as I said earlier, I don't think Northants were 3-0 better than us and we can consider ourselves hard done by - no matter how crap we were tonight

Pretty poor performance this evening.........back to spraying the ball around midfield,back to the defence,then lumping it over the top towards Mully...........it didnt work last season so why try it again this time?
That said,its only one game.............and its early days yet as regards the team gelling as a unit.
Maybe playing Kee from the start was not the best thing as He never really looked comfortable...........still injured?
Hopefully just a 'blip' and we will return to the 'football playing side' we were on Saturday.
Still optimistic

what i could not comrehend was his replacement, cannot understand why symes has been brought here, just to warm the bench?
Slightly more calm now - got to say there are signs of improvement from last season - 2-0 down and we kept on playing - not well but we kept playing, last season it would have been heads down and prepare for the onslaught, today we hit the post twice and had two solid penalty shouts - step in the right direction - credit to the positive spirit around the club.
