The way Stanley played in the second half today was the most embarrassing excuse for football I have ever seen.

As soon as that 'penalty' was given, the lads' heads dropped and they wallowed in their pity until the end. I'm sure that everyone would've predicted that the lads would lose confidence like this; it happens often enough! So where was the inspirational half time team talk? It was more like they were spiked with sleeping pills and castrated.

There were some good individual performances from the usual suspects however. Kemspon made one minor mistake but apart from that was consistently solid. Phil Edwards defended well, he seems to play more confidently when playing alongside Kempson. I also thought Kenny Arthur had one of his best games for us. So far so good right?
Nah.
Aswad Thomas was crap yet again. Neither Mannix or Harris had much impact.


Coley, if you are reading this could you please answer why Ian Craney being started up front constantly? I think many would agree that this simply doesn't work, as we miss his creativity in midfield and he isn't quick enough to play a Lutel/Mangan role off Mullin. So we end up with an 85k player in limbo, doing very little. Thanks in advance.


Rochdale is effin' cold.
