Macca,
I would play Buxton unless there is a niggling doubt about his fitness?
For me selecting Hughes to start would also depend upon his fitness....ie 'Match Fitness'.
I don't think that he has played a full match for a while but I remember his last spell with us and he was pretty solid at the back for us.
I am still not convinced that Rommy, (even though I love him to bits),:kiss8: is up to the standard that we have been producing this season. Having said that I am not sure who I would pick instead of him?

Coley on the Fishy site is calling for the supporters to provide a 'BIG ATMOSPHERE' tonight and be the 12th MAN.:mosher:
I wish now that I had gone to Oxford! I bet those who went had a FAB time and a wonderful journey home with their cheeks aching from constantly smiling!:):):):):):):)
So YES. Let's all get right behind the team tonight and make as much noise as we can. Fly the Flags 'young uns' and sing and scream for the BOYS IN RED.:theband:
ON STANLEY ON:wave8::drink:

ha ha, I'd forgot Buxton was red-carded. Anyhoo, I stand by my statement that he'll probably be injured if he plays tonight - saturday is a bigger game!!!!
 
Cracking game tonight just a shame more did,not turn up to watch Notts County are,nt as bad as there league position suggests, we could and should have had a couple more but the substitution,s changed the game we seemed to lose our shape not supporting Billy Kee like Boco had done all evening but we hung on for the points thought Mark Hughes had an outstanding second debut and I think we also missed him when he was subbed but well done lads Plymouth now in our sights come on Stanley.
 
Phew but still 3 points...onwards and upwards they are a club with highly paid players and a club in disarray we are a club with spirit I know what I prefer ..ON STANLEY ON!
 
I listened on radio in Nottingham tonight and all I could hear was The Clayton End well done lads a great racket you've done the club really proud!
 
Just got back home and for my two'penneth although we went 2-0 early in the first half, I thought we then sat back and let them come at us. Boco scores a fab goal early doors in the 2nd half and the ref (where do they find them?) lets them back in with a goal that should never have stood due to a foul on Billy Kee in the centre circle. 2nd goal they score was a good breakaway goal but the supporters and management should never have been allowed to sweat like that. We could and should have won by a cricket score. Crooks looked totally disinterested and wasn't in the game at all. Not to worry Maccawazagod, Bucko will be playing on Saturday.

See both Nottingham teams went home with their tails between their legs tonight lol

Chris, what is the difference in cost from what you paid last year to this, is it worth giving up watching the best team in our town?
If it is enough to stop you coming to the Crown/Wham, I am sure that there are many on here, myself included, who would be happy to make up the shortfall, in order to ensure we do not lose another loyal fan.

I appreciate that there is a 'principle' involved here, but there is also an old saying about 'cutting your nose off to spite your face'
Maybe it is time to gracefully admit defeat in a situation which, however regretfully, you are never going to win, as other events recently, regarding staff changes etc. show that this new regime does not particularly care about those who have spent many years either supporting, or indeed, working for the club.
Eric, despite his many failings, would never had treated people in this way.. hopefully, he is not turning in his grave!

You are 100% right it is a principle and I accept he has won for now, but I can afford the full price and that alone would not stop me going. I am not cutting my nose off to spite my face as I see it. This man is a bully and a very unpleasant individual and I can't back down to a bully. I will simply allow him enough rope and he will hang himself. I just don't want the club and team to suffer. I know I am not the only one peed off for this and other stunts he has pulled. Tonight was the last night you can pay on the gate I noticed one or two fans a little less than happy about this. He may sell this as a modernising the club but he is damaging the club. The club is no longer a community inclusive club it is an exclusive club. But the season is not over yet.

I agree with your summary Andyyd.:mosher:


We played them off the park in the first half and 4 - 0 or 5 - 0 would not have flattered us at half time! Hughes and Boco looked like they had played in the team all season. I had my doubts about Rommy but he proved me totally wrong. He has obviously been coached intensely into the 'Come and meet the ball' method that Coley and Jimmy have developed this season. Hughes too looked assured and McLeod and Stead didn't get a look in at all in the first half!:theband:
They were a different team in the second half. Right from the whistle they played a faster tempo and got the ball forward more quickly albeit frequently using Route One but also using their wingers too. It was a relief when we scored the third against the run of the play.
Halliday got a bloodied nose after which he was less effective and when they scored their first goal we had lost our shape somewhat. :confused:
When Rommy and Hughes were subbed we lost our shape even more and they started to dominate with their long ball and direct tactics. :surprise:
We should still have scored late on because we had more chances to do so. Especially with Crooksy getting into good scoring positions but the lad just does not seem to be able to shoot. His passing game is excellent but his shooting is poor in contrast. He was a bit unlucky with a great ball in from the left from Sean Mac but he slightly over ran the ball and finished trying to drag the ball forward.:idunno:
Nonetheless it was a good result and more importantly THREE valuable POINTS.:theband:
Plymouth only drew and Portsmouth lost tonight which was a help!
A full 90 minutes on saturday like the first 45 minutes tonight will be what John and Jimmy will be demanding in training this week.:oke2:
ON STANLEY ON:theband::s_gupjump:wave8::drink:

Good 3 points tonight against a team who I really can't fathom out.
With stead,mc cloud and banton up top should be near the top and are obviously low on confidence.
The game was wide open from the start and we pressed,moved the ball at pace and the performance was full of energy.
It eventually caught up with us and we started dropping deeper and not supporting Kee.
We made subs to freshen it up,but this had the adverse effect and we became disjointed .
We really should have been out of sight,with Crooksey not having his shooting boots on.
As I said we were good for 70 minutes,then died and only some last ditch blocks and tackles saved us.
Lessons learned,3points in the bag and we move on
KTF
 
Don't think I can add anything to what's already been said, another wild ride on the Stanley rollercoaster which thankfully finished with 3 points in the bag.
Entertaining - certainly, good for the fingernails - most definitely not! & wouldn't have missed it for the world - let's crack on against Barnet on Saturday, can't wait :D
 
Halliday should have been subbed after the nose bleed. It looked like a broken nose to me but me eyes arent that good. However he tried to battle on but was not as effective. Buxton played quite well and Piero is brilliant if thy would just lift their heads and pass it across the park to him. If Crooks was a striker we would have gone in 5-0 up at half time. he is a good midfielder but he couldn't score in an open net, A good battle and we deserve to be where we are because we are worth it, I won't mention the appalling officials, we really should question their competence. but 3 more points to the golden dream.

I heard a few moaning about not paying on the gate any longer have,nt seen anything on official sites anywhere if true could really shoot themselves in foot with this one could lose half our crowd in one fell swoop.
