Thread re-named........

Well said Joe - I've been trying to find the words to answer some of the criticisms but haven't been able to get them right so have avoided reading them or commenting recently but your renaming the thread as Scapegoat Sean is very apt - some people can't see the wood for the trees at times

I'm afraid that's the problem of giving a player his own thread and then deliberately keeping it near the top of the message board.

in bygone days sean was a damn good un for stanley no doubt at all. some people cant tell the difference. FACT.

Was it a red card challenge really????

Was it the worst challenge of the night - as it was the only red - really????

Another of our players off on a stretcher and I bet - I have not checked - we have one of the worst records of discipline......

If you watch the “highlights” then, yes, it was a red card challenge. Knee high. Never has been much of a tackler. Given it was virtually McConville’s first infringement and the Bolton player made a miraculous and almost recovery, a better ref might have shown a yellow and not ruined what had, up to then, be an exciting contest. But we all know, or should know what ref’s at The Wham can be like.

But I also agree with Choirboy (apologies if it wasn’t him) about Trafford’s “reckless” jump intended purely to take out Coyle.

Love McConville but playing at wing back exposes his mobility issues.

Sorry, been a loyal servant to the cause but imho he's now a lazy footballer and only good enough for taking free kicks and corners. Time to give him a long over due rest and give youth a chance.

Whilst some will not want to think about it, the current stats tend to suggest that Sean’s return on taking every corner and free kick is no longer up there.
The only Stanley player appearing in the top 50 ‘assists’ is Mitch Clark.

Obviously, the current dearth of natural strikers (note that both Charles and Bishop are in the top six scorers) affects McConville’s assists. However, if, as it seems, he’s picked mainly for his free kicks and corners but there is no return, it must beg a question about selection. This isn’t American football where a specialist goal kicker can be brought on for that one function.

trafford should have seen red for it if the ref had done his job instead of fiddling.Seans was RED NO DOUBT.
