I’m afraid we were, yesterday, Val.
Exemplified by Shaun Whalley, consistently our best player for some time, who couldn’t seem to put a foot right.
Everyone gets an off day but, to my no doubt jaundiced eye, Stanley were again smothered in their own half, with the threat of O’Brien and Batty getting down the wings to put in crosses mostly snuffed out before they could get to the half way line.
Can’t imagine how the likes of Alex Henderson, Dan Martin, Ben Woods and Liam Coyle would have done any worse given their performances last season.

Young lads, loanees with very little or no experience of professional league football and the scraps of released players from last seasons opponents, means it's always going to be a slog. 12 games in from the start will give us a better idea where we might be heading.

That's a pretty fair summation Cashy.....however as we've got what we've got until January, I think the defence is playing as well as it can and has improved quite a bit. However, I'd start with Costello up front with Henderson and Whalley either side...in a 4-3-3....I think Mooney and Knowles look like they've lost their mojo and need to be left on the bench to get hungry...

Poor game between two not good sides....

We did not offer much overall, but - again - a draw would have been fair.. just.

Walton looked off it, one of his worst games sadly

Let us hope the early kick off can help us catch Vale out
