All the injuries/suspensions have not helped.

Need a full and fit squad ready for next season in LEAGUE ONE

Hopefully training on grass every week at new training ground.

Yes I know, the words “Crown” sparked an unfortunate assumption. I’d no idea what Spotland had turned into.

First time in a long time Coley looked/sounded down after a defeat....

Think he is right when he said they looked tired - been saying it for a while now.

At least Donny have won today - their first in 10.......

Good point in more ways than one AndyD, better training, plus better Crown Ground surface - Championship here we come

Obviously Sky are feeling sorry for us. They haven’t yet got the ‘highlights’ available to watch!

Joe !.. a couple of things cross my mind at this point.
The first being that when I saw the pitch for yesterday’s game I thought
“ Hmmm... this looks to be a good surface for Stanley’s ‘passing game ‘.
Unfortunately, this style was replaced by one which meant that the ball, from The Reds point of view, spent more time at high altitude rather than on the floor.
Secondly, as to ‘tiredness’ being a factor in the abysmal performances of late, it seems reasonable to assume that it takes more effort to kick a ball to a great height as to that rolling it around at ground level .. whither ‘ the passing game ‘ ?.
Thirdly, and I don’t want to overuse the expression ‘ unfit for purpose ‘, but yesterday afternoon at least three of the team who started the game of were introduced as substitutes did not appear to have the basic skills or tactical awareness to play at Football League level !.. and I can’t be the only one to spot and realize these shortcomings !.

Gosh !.. here I go prophet of dooming again ?..BUT..

Some food for thought there my good friend

On the other hand, I feel that some may take offence at your comments

Hope to see you in the flesh - not literally of course - soon

Joe Pritchard - and his creativity - is a big miss.....
