This is by no means the end of our troubles, but these three points will do very, very nicely.
The goals were well taken, so well done to Andy and Roscoe.

...and also to Ian Dunbavin, who was the MotM for me today.

Did you leave at half time?

Accrington Stanley---Powered by the crowd

Second half atmosphere was like a cup tie, the Clayton End cheering every time a Stanley player touched the ball. When the goalie tried to clock Jay Harris then the crowd erupted. From then on a Stanley win with adreneline flooding from the supporters to the team. Most enjoyable 45 minutes for a very long while!

Weigh up their keeper and send him to Vegas Mayweather has an opponent.

Terrible display, good thing they were worse.

Yes we had all the possession but it really was a case of them being bad rather than us being good I'm afraid

How a team plays is always 'subjective', But 3 points is 3 points.

YIPPEEEEEEEEEEE

[Tin Monkey]

Always appreciate the 3 points, but it wasn't pretty today.

When I saw the size of the Chesterfield team I assumed that the tactics would be to play the ball on the floor and use the pace of Roscoe. We didn't start to do that until the last third of the game and it paid off.

To be fair to Whalley, who has taken a lot of stick this season, his pace and direct play instantly caused problems for those big monsters. As soon as he started running at them, you could tell they were worried.

Nice to see a little variation at corners too. The driven ball from Craney was perfect for Roscoe to head home.

There was more effort from the team today, even though confidence was obviously rock bottom. I still don't see Branch as a team player (see his outburst at Dunbavin and his verbal assault on the fans), but the 3 points were a nice bonus.

[Kiwi John]

...I wonder how OGGY got on with the Liner..??...

[Kiwi John]

Did Branch have ago at the fans?? He must read this forum then.

[Kiwi John]

This is driving me nuts,,,for the benefit of post match visitors, for some reason I can't get the BBC website or Footy 365 so I don't know some results (for my gambling ) SO can anyone tell me if any of the following teams won;
POMPEY, ASTON VILLA, DINGLES(sorry), BIRMINGHAM & GRETNA..

[Stanleymad]

Birmingham 1-1 Reading
Sunderland 1-1 Aston Villa
Portsmouth 0 - 1 Tottenham
Burnley 2 -3 Preston [ouch not good to type near burnley fans atm ]
Kilmarnock 3-3 Gretna

Three points are great; but if we play like that against a half decent side (because Chesterfield were, almost unbelievably, worse at set pieces than us) then God knows what'll happen. Oh wait - loot at the MK Dons game !!!!

Coleman - please tell us what is going on!!!!!
Sean Whalley is without a doubt the worst winger I have ever seen. To take off our only good winger to bring on this numpty was beyond stupidity.
To persist with John 'scared of a football' Miles, was also beyond stupidity.
To play Robbie 'forgotten how to defend completely' Williams, was also beyond stupidity.
To play Graham 'uh? what? a winger? where?' Branch, was also beyond stupidity.
To put up with and condone Leam Richardson, Mark Roberts, Ian Craney and Sean Whalley crowding the ref constantly, is not just stupid, but a disgrace to see.

All this must get sorted before we even start to think our problems are sorted. We got lucky with a crap ref and crap opponents today - that won't happen often.

[Stanleymad]

He didnt play Williams again did he ???????? WTF coley!!!
