Yep. Of the 13 teams above us at kick-off, only the top 3 won (OK Cheltenham and Oxford didn't play, but hey). 11th, optimistically 7th with the games in hand .......

On Stanley On!

Loving the position we are in - top half of the table - only question is if we can keep up this form.

MOM Luke Joyce? can't grumble with that to be honest as he was his usual industrious self and was at the start and finish of nearly everything. The only one who could truthfully have run him close was Edwards - but I disagree with giving a decision based purely on scoring if they do little else (not his fault).

Aaron Brown 3 - 0 Stockport.

Lets be honest here, we weren't three nil good tonight, they, and Brown in particularly, were probably the worst team I have ever seen. Honestly, they were crap. Brown gave away two penalties and almost scored a diving header own goal from distance at an impossible angle. He miskicked three or four times (wasnt on his own with that), they hit their own players (two or three yards away) with clearances, they tripped over the ball and left it on its own sat on the turf lonely twice. Even the goalkeeper fell over just walking back to his 18 yard box with the ball (was lucky he fell onto the ball really). I tell you, Brown wasnt even sure how to walk today he was that bad.

I thought going forward we could and should have had dozens today but we tried to do too much too many times. Their keeper has barely touched the ball. And defensively we looked in control, but I honestly think that was because of how poor County were. IF Coley had not sent the players for the 2nd half we'd still have kept a clean sheet.

You must be joking. He was awesome tonight! One word sums up Stanley's performance for me - DESIRE. We had it in spades, chasing down the Stockport players all over the pitch throughout the 90 minutes. Great stuff. 2 clearer penalty decisions you won't ever see.

I was going to say Brown was lucky to stay on the pitch because he should have got a yellow card for playing basketball on the first penalty, I was going to say lucky but in truth he was so bad the referee would have done him a favour ( and probably the stockport team ) if he had given him the first yellow

I must have watched a different game !,they were no better than a pub team,the worst i have seen for years.
Acci never got out of second gear,and with JB screaming all game to go long and into the channels to turn stockport around was not pleasing on the eye.
The set up of the team was strange to say the least,our attacking 3 midfielders consisted of sean mac hugging one touchline,jimmy hugging the other and craney in the middle !,they were so far apart at times they needed mobile phones to communicate to each other.
With proccy and joyce sitting deep and reluctant to go forward,Gornell was left frustrated up front.
I presume they had stockport watched and this was the way to beat them,and the scoreline suggests it was correct,but as a viewing spectical it was at times painful.
Luke was by far the MOM and at least tried to link play.
Then again,another clean sheet,another victory,what do i know!!!!,Acci have played 100% better and lost this season,maybe we were due this type of performance / result.
Bring on Gillingham !!!!

As others have said you would struggle to see worse teams than County on your local park on a Sunday morning but I suppose if you are devoid of confidence maybe that's what happens?
I was dissapointed if anything because everything was gifted to us for the goals we huffed & puffed and although being in control for long periods we could not put them to the sword in direct play.
As F19 says maybe we were due a scruffy performance but at this stage three points is all that matters.

Onwards & Upwards

MOM Luke Joyce and well deserved, battled hard in the centre. Scrappy game. But I have seen better passing football with the kids on a saturday morning. Stockport were the worst side I have seen this season. That said three more in the bag but under no illusions the Gills will be as easy on saturday. Strange, we win by three goals all scored by our defence as they were really there for the taking.

[shakermaker]

I'm a big fan of Luke Joyce but I'm sorry, man of the match for me was Hess, by seventeen country miles.

A well deserved 3 points. Stockport worst side ive seen at the crown for a long time. Fair play to theirfans for turning up in numbers. Thought we looked solid as a rock at the back, cisak has definitely made a difference to the confidence of sunbed and sean. Good to see linfield and parkinson fet game time, still no turner?! Surely hes off? Has tempted me to make the mammoth trip on Saturday!

[Kiwi John]

Brilliant, just brilliant.

[Outback Ozzy]

The one thing that worries me about last nights game, all 3 goals were from set peices and defenders/midfielders. Yes the forwards had shots some on target some just off, but they are the ones NOT scoring which is the biggest worry. OK we got away with it, SCFC were the worst team to grace the hallowed turf, Hess had a brilliant game but so to did Luke Joyce. The best thing for me was the SCFC fans singing throughout the second half that the team were not fit to wear the shirt and when the team went off the fans were even more incensed by the fact that a couple of players actually applauded them singing the above. Priceless. To say were are a club in crisis (financial) SCFC are a rag tag and bobtail outfit with no direction except down, which in my view is a pity. If they do go down, it may just do them some good, but lets hope they don't expect to bounce back at the first attempt. Ask GTFC, York and others.

Should point out the pitch last night was slippy more than anything else. Rain was very light and persistant and made the section in the middle a bit sticky hence players slipping or standing on the ball.

[Outback Ozzy]

Another point I have noticed, according to the league statistics, only Chesterfield have lost less games than us, we are joint second with Bury (I think) having lost only 8 times this season - too many draws is the problem.
