Re: Today's game
difference today was stanley never looked like the same team of last few weeks, turner was well missed IMHO. grant never looked up to playing at Div2 level, utter garbage. stanley created more chances in a poor first half, which after interval descended into ABYSMAL. to me the only reason Procter got man of the match- Sponsors were Haworth Timbers n he played like a plank. on the positive side it was a good day fer C.A.L.M. to be at the F.E.S. cos when they announced 5 mins added time, i felt like topping meself.

They added about 2 minutes at the end of the first half as well.
I cannot recall a previous occasion where I have groaned at the idea of another 5 minutes where the scoreline was still theoretically retrievable.

Re: Today's game
well the "Inbreds" only reported 1 stanley chance in first half (Header) seems they must have gone fer a pie when Lindfield made a great turn n volley,which Birch made n excellent save.

why?????
Surely the last 6 games we played outweigh this game by far! We all knew the run could not last forever! If you wanted the club to do well and progress than surely you would be buying a season ticket! Showing your support for the club no matter how we play on the pitch! Specially when people moaned about the prices, just find excusses not to buy one. Soon as we lose this board is back to the moaning. Am not buying a ticket because we lost and played rubbish! What about the run of wins we had that should sway you enough to buy one. We have been playing some great football this year, with some great players we have and hopefully keep them for next year. Jimmy Ryan, Kenny, Turner, Lindfield, Charnock, Edwards. Next year looks very positive if we can keep the squad together! Yeh we did not play well at all, but where safe for next season, the seats are going in and should be in before May! New owner's are just round the cornor to coming into the club and taking the club into a new direction! New terrace songs have been aired on the terrace this season! We love you Stanley we do!!!

Re: Today's game
Having now calmed down, yesterday showed exactly why we have less than 1200 fans turning up for a match. We were dire in all departments. Why change a winning team? OK if one was injured fair enough, but to leave Mullin J and Murdock on the bench says it all. Both players have given their all during the latest unbeaten run. Not a disaster I know, but Chester can still catch us - Luton cannot. Yes I will believe are safe, but why leave it so late to better last seasons total with only 5 matches left to play, including 2 against top of the table teams. Roll on Easter and lets lay the threat of relegation once and for all. Put out the best 11 not the mates of the management e.g. Williams and Cav et al.

Are you for real, or do you just see what you "want to see"? Some of the whining that goes on this site beggars belief at times. As a fan of the club, perhaps it would be better to actually encourage some of the younger players than coming on here and slaughtering them.
You get people whinging about stopping cheques for season tickets after one defeat in 7 games, you get people sarcastically questioning the "football genius" if he doesn't do what you specifically want him to do and you get people quoting "facts" that are way off beam.
As I've said on this site before, I respect anyone's right to have an opinion, but what kind of supporter just waits for players who have been playing really well to make one mistake, then they get labelled as "has beens" or Coley Favourites?
Let's look at the facts: yesterday we outplayed Lincoln for long periods of the match - the difference being that they punished us for two momentary lapses in concentration - so to suggest that they were by far the better side is stretching it too far. Another fact was that Chris Turner went into a challenge with Cav in training and got hurt. He was in the side at the start, but pulled up in the warm up. Would he have made a difference? - I think we would all agree he would, as his confidence is high and he's playing well. Young Granty comes in and the first time he makes a mistake, the groans start. A great confidence booster that is eh?
In the second half, the swirling wind got up a bit, making control on a bumpy pitch that more difficult. Sean McConville coming on and running at them caused a few problems, but in the end, the players ran out of steam and performance wise, they fell a bit short by their own standards.
It must be really galling for those who regularly snipe at the team through this forum to eat humble pie, as up until yesterday, we were the form team in the division. We have no divine right to win every game - what we do expect is to compete to the best of our ability, but sometimes, even that isn't going to be enough, especially when we come up against forwards of the quality that they had yesterday and most teams have in this league.
To get were we have in such a short time is unbelieveable - to stay in the division as we have is astonishing. To do it with half the support coming through compared to attendances in the Conference - well that's just about miraculous!
Appreciate what you've got, support the whole team, not just the players you want to be selected and stop questioning the manager's reasons for leaving players on the bench. He makes the substitutions based on how the game is going, whether a player is struggling or perhaps to change things around from a tactical point of view. He makes / does not make substitutions just to p*** some of you off!
Keep the faith!

Re: Today's game
I agree with you! Finally another support who talks sense and does not jump at every occasion to shout down the team or be it player! I liked the humble pie bit Quality and it's very true! Whenw e are winning not a bad word said about anyone, soon as well lose! BANG "it put me off buying a ticket" "he shouldn't be in the team" blah blah blah Keep the faith mate!
