Well done, lads.

Three good goals, the second just 11 seconds after the kick-off from the first:

Who’s the youngish guy who has been leading the pre-match warm up at the last couple of home games, and where is John Doolan?
Hope he’s well wherever he is.

No idea who the younger guy was but John Doolan was on the touchline last night second half. I much prefer Jimmy on the touchline throughout the game. Jimmy is much more vocal, seems to give clear direction to the players and has a bit of bite and passion when when its needed.

0-0 stalemate for the U23s against (third place) Wrexham today in the Central League.
Interestingly, Clark and Conneely started and Nottingham on the bench.
Well done lads.
Looking forward to seeing the U23s take on top of the table Blackpool at end of the month.

Obviously you know where to look for up to date news, MikeA!
This is still on Stanley’s web site this morning…

Something odd. Can anyone explain?
At yesterday’s defeat to Wycombe, according to the BBC, Bolton made six substitutions.
I can find no reference as to why, other than a report on the Trotters’ web site that states that Bolton’s final substitute came on after a concussion to “the hosts”.
I can only presume that should have read “the visitors”.
So, my query is why, if you can make a sixth sub after a concussion, did Stanley not bring someone on after Tharme was stretchered off against Lincoln? Did we simply not have a sixth sub that day?

Yes we had a 6th sub available but suspect in the chaios of the day and the scoreline in the 90th minute we choose not to use that option. IF you use a concussion sub the opposition can also make an additional sub. If you use a cooncussion sub there is a lot of additional external protocols to follow on the medical side of things.
As we didn't use the option Doug's return is in the hands of of medical teams hands. We and Doug choose when he's ready to return

Thank you for the explanation, Mr. T.
Not sure about the logic behind the opposition also being able to make a sub as well as the team whose player gets concussed but, heh, that’s football.

Your Lordship,
Ask your under-butler to bring up the General Chat - “where have all the blogs gone” thread on the Accy web for an explanation.

Yes Lord S. Same at my end. I left a request somewhere a while ago for it to be investigated but no action yet. I have also deleted and tried to update my avatar image a couple of times but without any luck.
ADMIN or whoever please investigate.
Thank you.
