Re: Everton Match Thread
 

Overall thought stanley played well, yeh could tell the Everton kids were premiership kids,no complaints from me. our number 14 was like a carthorse chasing the ball across the everton box, equaliser came from that fact as far as i'm concerned.

Re: Everton Match Thread
 

Typical friendly lots of changes both sides some very talented Everton players were better than Huddersfield for me had us ball watching at times, as for trialists the unknown striker played well again but fluffed his chance when through on keeper Ryan Scicluna No.18 came on and played in centre of midfield alongside Scotty Brown did nothing wrong and read the game well still no sign of a keeper though but Arron pulled of some good saves today.

Re: Everton Match Thread
 

So overall the consensus after the 2 games is. And how's the squad looking & what are the perceived expectations for Stanley in 2017/18?

Re: Everton Match Thread
 

I reckon were very promising, but still need 2/3 additions keeper n striker defo. dont understand why our manager plays kee alone then edwards alone why not try em together?:confused:

Re: Everton Match Thread
 

Staying up mate low expectations and over deliver:)

Re: Everton Match Thread
 

Agree mostly with Cashy, enjoyed the game although I've no clue who scored our third - it seemed to roll in all by itself :)
Got to agree about Hughes as well bless him, his method of defending did make him look a bit gormless against the young Everton lads' technical skills but when it comes round to the league games his 'stop 'em at all costs' style is very useful in league 2

Re: Everton Match Thread
 

Something that DID annoy me was the fact Everton commit a bad foul and the ref does sod all apart from award us a freekick, 15 mins later a stanley foul that didn't look half as bad and the ref book our lad? whats all that about?:rolleyes:

Re: Everton Match Thread
 

It was an average game we could and should have won. Some of our better players like pearson and others seemed to be strolling without any real motivation. The keeper seems to be lacking a little confidence although he pulls some good saves he also fluffs some he should take easily. I can't understand why he brought rommie on in this game when we should have give a run out to the others left in the dugout which would have given them a boost. I have to agree with Coley that we did not put the effort in. They were a well organised side and found space in and around our box. The passing was crisp for most of the game. We answered them well but we did leak 3 goals. so a keeper is needed and a good striker who would have scored at least another two today. All in all we have the main ingredients for a serious promotion chase this season. We have to get the method right and a couple more players and I feel a lot more confident this season than last.

1 minute from the end coley I besiege mentions the name of our trialists striker just can't figure it out, sounds like Kane hill

Re: Everton Match Thread
 

Don't believe a word! This man is a Coley imposter trying to make you stay away from the Wham.
Both teams were superb today!

Re: Everton Match Thread
 

Matty Foulds and Josh Bowler (6 and 7) were brilliant for Everton. Future stars without a doubt.
Our trialist 9 is Kayden Jackson of Barnsley. He was on loan for a spell with Grimsby last season. He'll get an offer and sign.
Don't think the Maltese lad is good enough.
We need a keeper and a centre forward. I don't think the game is up yet on a Rodak return. Come on Jeff give us another season.

Re: Everton Match Thread
 

Ryan is more than good enough if given the chance to shine, we was up against a prem reserve team, he could easily become a star against league 2 teams

Re: Everton Match Thread
 

Kayden Jackson is a confidence player but rather than have him on the wing he looks better up front with a experienced​ strike partner alongside.

Re: Everton Match Thread
 

Can't see it. Doubt he'll get an offer - the midfielder that is.
Kayden should have buried his chance but I think he showed enough.

Re: Everton Match Thread
 

Did you go today ? Think the answer is no. Appreciate he only got 20 but nothing shone for me.

Re: Everton Match Thread
 

He's 23 and what I've seen of him he looks strong and very crooks like, like Sousa he needs time to show what he's capable of, which by viewing the text commentary of today's game, Sousa really put himself about

Re: Everton Match Thread
 

Sousa made one decent run ...... if that's enough.
Turn up and watch don't read tweets.

Re: Everton Match Thread
 

This what football is all about - two agents arguing with one another? YAWN

Re: Everton Match Thread
 

No this is what football is about - differences of opinion about players. Agent is irrelevant. Have you got an opinion or do you consider that makes yourself boring ?

Re: Everton Match Thread
 

I was there and have commented earlier. However I am still a Donacien fan, I do think he needs to be playing much further up. He can put balls in to the strikers with pin point accuracy at pace, Yet he is playing as a wing back defender. I think Coley needs to have a good think about playing to strengths. The big player on trial was not quite the finished article he drifted out to the wing where he should have stayed centre. He was a good target man but his final finish is rusty. More games will see a massive improvement. Billy needs someone to run off him as he does not have the pace at this time. There is a lot to be confident about this season, we do need a couple of additions like a keeper and a striker. Our Captain was quiet yesterday maybe we need a talker. I am not enthused by the segregation nonsense in the last two games. A complete waste of time. I hope we can sort this out before the Preston Game. I am happy to say we don't have a violence problem at Stanley and we don't want one.

Re: Everton Match Thread
 

Last time I went for Stanley Reserves V Everton in the league, Everton didn't turn up as they said they could not get a side together. So never going again v them.

Re: Everton Match Thread
 

Chris; not really sure what your "issue" is and can confirm the PSF stand allocations with be the same for the PNE and Oldham games. We have made the current decisions to give as many supporters the best day out we can give them; which also conforming to the Safety Certificate. Yesterday prime example; wet afternoon yet all those who watched the game including the Everton fans were dry and watched a decent game of football.

Re: Everton Match Thread
 

For once I agree with 28, we are in a democracy not a dictatorship

Re: Everton Match Thread
 

Pathetic.:rolleyes:

Re: Everton Match Thread
 

Re: Everton Match Thread
 

Come on lads n lassies don't be hard on Twenty Eight he's only voicing an opinion! Besides he has a interest in the playing staff!

Re: Everton Match Thread
 

Would you rather have it as a dictatorship where nobody was allowed an opinion?

Re: Everton Match Thread
 

I'm a genuine supporter.
I have no financial interest in any Accrington player.
My interest in Accrington specifically is in two players I've known as men and boys.

Re: Everton Match Thread
 

I'm going nowhere just to p*** you off.

Re: Everton Match Thread
 

Unless of course the dictatorship arranges with the administrator to ban me for having an opinion !
What you think ST06 ?

Re: Everton Match Thread
 

Glad to hear it as well.

I personally enjoy the varied opinions offered on the games. I'm guilty of only seeing the pace and feel of the game as I'm usually too busy trying to make some noise! The insight offered by agents/scouts/dads is most welcome to me as it is 'educational' sometimes.

Having said that, it can be boring if they bang on about the same player being brilliant when clearly he wasnt! F19 was guilty of this with unswerving defence of Dean Winnard, but his other offerings made up for it.

I also enjoy reading between the lines for snippets of gossip from the training ground ...

Re: Everton Match Thread
 

Its Pathetic that a clown like you intimates its a dictatorship, it says a lot to me about the kind of person you are.:rolleyes: hope thats simple enough fer yeh to understand.:rolleyes: TwentyEight also of the same ilk it seems.

Re: Everton Match Thread
 

Well seens as nobody's allowed an opinion id say it was starting to become a dictatorship, not every agent is in it for the money, some just do it for the feeing when you see one of your lads doing well

Re: Everton Match Thread
 

psf ??

Re: Everton Match Thread
 

Are we good enough for promotion evidence suggests even though only friendly,s maybe not in 180 minutes we have,nt scored from open play same problem as last season, to me a 15/20 goal a season man is a must if your going to be among the Pacesetter's and go up, also has others have mentioned a keeper in the Rodak mould is a must. Hope I,m wrong of course young Jackson looks like he has pace to burn but will he be played as a striker only if John goes for 4-4-2 and me thinks not.

Re: Everton Match Thread
 

Pre season friendlies I presume :)

Re: Everton Match Thread
 

thats what pre season is all about. would love a new keeper in and someone else up front as we,re bare bones at the moment there. no panic yet but the clock is ticking. could be like bowyer at blackpool said last week about players financial demands.

Re: Everton Match Thread
 

For someone who wasn't there at either game last week but whos hoping to get to the PNE game what was the segregation thats was a waste of time ?

Re: Everton Match Thread
 

Now now Macca !!!, how did I get dragged into this debate !!,

Re: Everton Match Thread
 

Everyones allowed an opinion, even liars so yer ok.

Re: Everton Match Thread
 

Know a lot of agents,some personally,and can honestly say it's a business to them and it is about making money,hence the players enter into a contract with them.
Nothing wrong with that,but they soon drift away if their "player"doesn't get a contract.
As a player,it's easy to represent yourself as the PFA offer great/free advise.
It's when the player excels that the agents come into their own with various sponsorships etc..

Re: Everton Match Thread
 

Ha ha, just saying like!

Your opinions were always welcome for tuther 10 players, and technical observations over tactics ... but you did like to defend Deano even if a 1000 of us saw him have a 'mare :cool:

Re: Everton Match Thread
 

Main Stand Blocks A -D ( dug outs to dressing rooms) away fans

Main Stand Blocks E -I ( dug outs to Clayton End) home fans

Re: Everton Match Thread
 

My Beef about the segregation is that it was not necessary, When you consider the sports bar was open to all I could not see the need. We are lucky enough not to have a violence problem at Stanley. It was a good game with a lot to take in. Friendlies to me are just a game to cast an eye on new signings and potentials. I also like to see how the tactics of the manager is working. My opinion is just that an opinion. John Coleman probably couldn't give two hoots as to what I think but he has the final say. Segregation is a retrograde step in my opinion. If there was intelligence to suggest otherwise there would no objection from me. Stanley is a family friendly club which is a big part of it's attraction. It was an observation I made and I mentioned it to the club , It was not a complaint as such but some people seem to respond without trying to understand the point. They immediately go on the defence and try to find a rule to justify an action. It may seem trivial and to a point it is. I personally like to sit in my season ticket seat as that is where I feel I can see the game better. We had away fans sitting next to us last season with no bother at all. That is why I don't see the need for it. No big deal.

Re: Everton Match Thread
 

He only had poor games when he put his boots on the wrong feet !! :)

Re: Everton Match Thread
 

I wasn't even aware of this ! I sat at the "away" end in the main stand first half then moved to the "home" end second.

Re: Everton Match Thread
 

Are Jackson and Scicluna still with us anyone just they weren't in the picture of the lads training on Pendle hill.

Re: Everton Match Thread
 

Afew missing off it, only 17 players when we have 20

Re: Everton Match Thread
 

John Coleman confirmed earlier #asfc are in talks to sign the trialist forward who played last 2 games. He's contracted to a club

Re: Everton Match Thread
 

Big clue was the blue and white stripes on the Huddersfield shirts they were mostly wearing in the first game! :)

Re: Everton Match Thread
 

I didn't go to the Huddersfield game. If there was segregation at the Everton game it failed miserably. Plenty of home fans in the main stand towards the away end.

Re: Everton Match Thread
 

The stewards stopped me and others, It was a shame but no big deal. It did prove unnecessary. That is the bit that makes you proud to be a Stanley supporter.

Re: Everton Match Thread
 

I can understand why segregation was in place.
That Alan Stubbs is a proper hooligan .............
God hes clapped the weight on.
