But says defence no good last 2 games 7 against all he says avoidable.

Balance is required.
Barclay could easily have walked.
He could / should have been booked before he got the yellow for a cynical tackle.
I was a little surprised today at Coleys interview.
Maybe when hes calmed down he’ll think differently.

Twenty Eight. As I said earlier, I would have brought Maguire on for one of our midfield players on a yellow card.......Morgan, Barclay, Rogers plus Smyth and Burgess all very reluctant to tackle in the last fifteen to twenty minutes or just not quick enough! The Dons third goal came from one of their centre backs waltzing straight through our midfield then the ball was played out to the left and the cross in was unchallenged by Hughes. Maguire would have been able to ‘take one for the team’ and stop the centre back breaking through. Even if it earned him a yellow card too. (I hate that phrase ....’taking one for the team’). Surely Maguire needed to be used with our inadequacies currently in midfield!

When you have 5 players on a yellow a sub would be sensible any of them but Coley didn't and upto the 92nd minute it worked, even though I wouldn't say every player in Stanley's squad is league 1 standard and I will slate a poor performance after the event to say what you did is,nt a sensible post the lads need encouragement and support from " fans ".

The worst tackle of the game which resulted in Butcher going off with a badly gashed ankle didn't even warrant a foul never mind a card, I don't usually get into debates on refs but your as bad as the two Southern biased clowns commentary on the game who even had the audacity at 2-2 to say Accy deserved nothing from the game, they somehow also missed the blatent shove as well as the ref on Phillips for what should have been a penalty. I,m all for putting my hands up when deservedly being beat as at Bristol but yesterday MK were,nt good and the game hinged on a couple of things Smyth passes instead of shooting we could have gone in front. Wednesday big test but it's just another game Stanley might just surprise everyone.

By putting "fans" in inverted comments I take that as a personal slur that I am not one.
Give your head a shake.
Last comment on the subject I would hate you to read back on some of your comments when it comes to encouragement.

My only thought was whilst watching the game was that it wasn’t a matter of
substandard play, but rather that some of the ‘ replacements’ were substandard and not fit for purpose !.
I agree that our Manager had no one of quality to choose from and thus the team were saddled with these players who had little or nothing to add to the Team, which in turn placed undue pressure on the rest !.
Like everyone else I hope that injured and tired limbs are soon mended and that once again winning football returns to our Stanley scene !.

ON STANLEY !..ON TO GREATER HEIGHTS !

[QUOTE=KiTChener;1251566]Very poor team, but we made them look like Brazil !!

made em look more like gillingham and they still won. a game that showed that it takes more than just goals to make a match entertaining. even from their point of view they cannot take much from the game apart from the 3 points. just about shading a game against poor opposition is all that it was.

hate these manager interviews straight after the game anyway. everything is so raw after a defeat anyway. would be better waiting a few days and then asking him. think if someone shoved a camera in my face in the car park after a game the answers they,d get would be far different than after i slept on it.
