Satanage!

Lord Didsbury · 19-11-2016, 13:55

Here's my team based on memory of the injury situation: Chapman, Matty, Beckles, Hughes, Lacy, Seamus, Brown, O'Sullivan, Clark, Kee, Boco.

I'm massively confident today. Massively. Well, maybe some nerves about the back four.

But - This is it.

Promotion push.

according to Twitter it's been raining this morn in Accy. Been full on blue skies and sunshine all morning in Manchester.

Getting a bit nervous about making it there on time. Er Indoors is in full chatter mode with her mates at a charity cake eating event. I'm sitting nervously in the front of the pub, watching her and wondering when I'm forced to cut short her girly giggling gaiety and get the hell out and onto the motorway for more serious business.

Much better. Movement, sharpness and a constant threat.
What has their no 13 come dressed as?

Why do I really, REALLY now have Stevenage at the top of my most hated sporting teams in the whole wide world? (Yes, they have surpassed Australian national teams.)

Lord Didsbury · 19-11-2016, 17:13

Jesus, what happened at half time? An entire team abducted by aliens.

Looking at this in the wilds of Peru, but don't tell me, I can guess what happened - Stanley were all over them in the first half and squandered chance after chance - then they went off the boil in the second half and Satanage made their chance count.

Time after time after time.

Lord Didsbury · 19-11-2016, 17:33

A bit worse than that. They had several chances but only needed one.

Wynonie, for someone not at the game, you summed it up perfectly!
Promotion push? We're 3 points off the drop zone!

I am at a loss to understand how we lost this un, in abysmal conditions, thought everyone played well,

should have put this to bed by half time. was nothing wrong with the attacking formation much better than 1 up, imho, the water on the pitch made it very difficult for both teams,the only way Satanage won was a horrible rick by our keeper, who in my view was very dodgy today, disappointing but not despondant, on to Hartlepool on tuesday. Terry for me had his best game this season, but was substituted ??? hes had poor uns yet remained on 90 mins?? explain that i can't??

Lord Didsbury · 19-11-2016, 17:47

Cashy - good summary. I think Elliot is too cautious. Rarely comes for crosses even if on the 6 yard box.
Yes, Terry was very, very impressive first half. Was better than Billy. I was surprised Clark came off too- thought it would be Sean.

Anyway, here's the opinion that counts:

AccyMad · 19-11-2016, 18:47

First half I thought we played some good stuff given the conditions & should've been a couple of goals to the good before the whistle & then . . . . . . don't know what happened second half but we just seemed to run out of steam, typically they have 2 shots & 1 goes in! Their own fans didn't seem to realise they'd scored till a few minutes after the event going off their delayed reaction.
Overall don't think we deserved to lose it but neither did we do enough to win it - back to the drawing board for Tuesday, we go again!

I thought Terry had his best game of the season so far today, he worked his socks off. Couldn't understand him being substituted. Agree with Cashy disappointing but not despondent. We looked pretty good at times despite the atrocious conditions. We'll get ourselves back into contention I'm sure.
