Tonight’s team
COYR
-
Mallik scored twice for Hull at Wigan.
-
Got a bad feeling about this ...
-
Not the 11 I would start with but I will trust DM.
-
Looks a weak team does that. Hope I’m wrong.
-
Is Fejiri injured?
-
It looks like a team with lots of attacking intent to me.
-
No Smith, Is he injured?
-
Got a bad feeling about this ...
I said that Last Saturday.....I was right. :crying:
-
Looking like Fej and Smith have knocks.
Another interesting line up. If we do the basics well, we still have match winners on the pitch.
-
I actually think that’s a decent line up.
-
We will see if Bostock and Robertson can protect the back four and set up attacks can Taylor and Simoes cause enough problems going forward. James at Left Back let’s see what some supporters we have been missing.
Smith and Okenabirhie have knocks so let’s hope they along with Tom are available for Saturday.
-
Has it been reported that Smith has a knock? Could just be his turn to sit out - we can only name 5 loanees. I did read that we had a couple that had knocks (unnamed), so he could well be one of them.
-
An almost traditionally correct formation, players playing in normal places, hopefully all knowing their roles well. Fingers crossed we get back on track tonight.
-
Hopefully we have chosen a penalty taker if we get one could do with a win so we keep in touching distance of the top and makes more daylight to teams behind
-
A cracking bench as well, we have options if things don't work so well.
-
Let’s hope Bostock and Robertson go better than they did at Fleetwood otherwise we are in for a long night. Shame Sims isn’t starting but guess he’s not quite ready or being saved for Hull
-
COYR!!!!#
-
Ref not for giving penalties clearly.
-
2 shots on target already, much improved on the last 2 games.
-
Bogle looking good so far
-
Good start this by us.
Bogle and Richards in particular looking lively.
-
Team seems so much better balanced with James at left back
-
Bostock is quality.
-
We’ve lost the plot this last 5 minutes. Started well but seem determined to shoot ourselves in the foot.
-
Tom must have said “yeah definitely “ about twenty times so far.
-
When is the ref going to start getting the cards out?!
-
Probably for one of our players I bet.
-
Crap
-
f**k sake.
-
Sloppyness again
-

Bullet, meet foot. Totally avoidable. But not surprising.
-
Balcombe left for dead with that deflection
-
Right. 0-1.
Can we start playing with a bit more direction now? We have enough quality to win.
-
After a great start to the game we have been so sloppy giving possession away.
-
bad time to concede as well.
-
Lost the urgency and allowed Accrington in to the game.
-
Self inflicted again.
-
Cant afford to carry players at this stage, Simoes and Taylor passengers
-
Sorry to say a goal all of our own making.
Ball out from Balcombe to someone under pressure.
So many problems this season caused by poor clearances.
-

So many problems this season caused by poor clearances.
We have played into tight situations on a few occasions in the last twenty five minutes.
Too many times really and it was looking more and more likely that it would end up with conceding a goal.
-
We don’t cope well when pressed, two shocking passes from Butler, and if Balcombe is not going to improve his kicking, kick it long, one big plus is Bogle is everything Fej is not in that role
-
Playing it short and to feet from goal kicks to try to get control of possession, I can understand.
What I can’t understand is floating the ball into a dangerous area in our own half where the chances of giving possession away and being left wide open increase massively.
Really disappointing goal to concede, and it’s just about deserved. We had a decent opening 10 mins but just haven’t kept it going.
-
All so unnecessary! We're just not good enough at the back to get away with it!
-
We mostly played ok but defence looked shaky being pressed and I'm not convinced there's anyone to really break up midfield.
Criminal allowing midfield runners like that.
-

Yep, and we don't press in return - we just give them space up to the half way line!
-
Some suicide messing about and stupid passing around our penalty area.
-
Stop farting about at the back..it dosent work ffs !!
-
We are playing a lot better than any of our recent games. Just need to stop messing about at the back. So much better with James at LB. Give it 15 minutes and if we are still behind bring on Simms for Taylor.
-
Some suicide messing about and stupid passing around our penalty area.
It won't change.
-
Sloppiness at the back and slow play two wide men that are not showing their best. Okenabirhe and Sims would be better out wide .Joe Wright is not Tom Anderson. Midfield two ok, Bostock and Smith would be better. So let’s hope we can get back into this game needs Sims on if he’s ready and Probably Lokilo.
-
There are times when you just have to clear your lines. If there’s no pass on, don’t try and pass it. I’m all for playing good football out from the back but not if it’s not on. It’s becoming a very predictable way of teams breaking us down, use a high line.
-
it took ACC 20 minutes to settle then when the pressure came on our passing went off
-
Yet another blathering defeat on the cards and the team seemed to be well in control.....until we started gifting them unforced errors.... I did say we hadn’t quite finished with that “ losing” tag...
Impressed with Bogle , would like to see Fej on for Simoes to get onto some of that good old Bogle hold up play....
Robert on is not putting himself about enough physically, so Accy will own the middle of the park for long periods....
Look on the bright side....we were nearly good enough for a top two, but on this trajectory we are now looking to consolidate a top 6 place with a few hounds nipping at our heals....
Right ...second half to prove me wrong
-

Playing to orders.
-
Not heard Richards name mentioned in the last 30 mins.
-
I'll take first 20 mins any day. Then we invited them on. Should deffo mix it up playing short and long from the back. The slowest quick free kick I'd ever seen was warning enough.
Plus who gave Butler dispensation to wear white boots. Saw he wore them at Sunderland!
Get Richards more on the ball and things will happen. Bogle doing OK.
-
Rich pickings when you press our back line. Every team does it because we've shown so many times it will work for them.

Fej not in the squad tonight.
-
No it will not change, DM likes his teams playing that way, albeit not so badly! The defence are too hesitant to make the right pass, so resort to passing between themselves, that is why Whiteman dropping soooo deep worked, he took the ball and decision making from them. Bostock should be the man to step in here, he still looks a yard of the pace to me - but that might be how he is?
-

Of course we are, which is why it won't change.
-
Another game where we don't take our chances make to many simple mistakes and losing gonna struggle to get back into this. Really need to step up but just can't see it happening
-
I bet if there was a crowd in there'd be far less pissing about at the back.
-

Our back line isn’t as sturdy of late, ...infact id goes as far to say that the opposing managers spend most of there team talk explaining how to bring about those frailties....
-
Should have been 2 nil from that corner
-
Watching games at the moment and seems to me more goals are scored from the opposition trying to over play than from actual attacking play.
-
Come on lads- turn this round.
-
Not a good start to the 2nd half. Messing about around our 18 yard line
-
What I find very frustrating is that we never have a bloke on the half way line when defending a set price, the result is no outlet when the ball is cleared.
And this isn’t just a Moore thing, McCann and Fergie were the same from memory.
And while we’re taking set prices, we rarely threaten from them, so frustrating.
-
Sims should be on now.
-
So close it's just not gonna go in is it
Simoes of sims on please Darren
-
You would be so frustrated to be a forward for us, you find the space, and don't get the ball. Bogle must be fuming inside
-
Another mistake at the back is coming
-
This is shite. Why do we keep playing ourselves into trouble and when we do try and get rid of it we just half clear it to an Accrington player.
-
Can we not for once just take a conventional goal kick? To many mistakes tippy tapping at the back, luckily not punished.......yet.
-
f**king hell we’re in self destruct mode
-
Cant get out of our own half. This is so so poor.
-
So frustrating
-
This GK is doing my f**king nut in. DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT FROM A GOAL KICK FFS. We can’t even get out of our own half here.
-
This season is falling away in front of our eyes and its all down to our own mistakes
-
This is f**king awful to watch.
-
Painful watching isn't it?
-
Simms time to shine COYR
-

The GK will be doing what he has been told to do.
-
This is so hard to watch. Can we buy Whiteman back please?
-
James has been outstanding tonight,
-
Balcombe is causing us pressure with his poor clearances
-
Ellery you are playing for Doncaster Rovers not Man City.
-
I think the back four , balcome and the training staff, are a bit deluded to think they have the collective skill to make this playing from the back work....
This Robertson kid cant pass with strength....he plays accurately short.. thus causing the impetus to be lost....
We just been found out
-
Just goes to show all those tactical niggly fouls Accy committed in the first half to break our play up have been a great plan, something we could learn from.
-
10 minutes to get something out of this. :(
-
How on earth has simoes stayed on,
It’s ridiculous
-
John’s first touch, pathetic pass straight to the opposition
-
How on earth has simoes stayed on,
It’s ridiculous
[/quote
I’d like to know the thinking behind starting him tbh makes no sense at all
-
How on earth has simoes stayed on,
It’s ridiculous
Agreed! He has been useless
-
Gonna get nothing from this not good enough we need to change something otherwise we will soon slip down the league
-
it really is awful to watch, they are devoid of ideas, and confidence
-
Rubbish end of
-
Started the game brightly and then we've basically created nothing for the last hour.
-
How the f**k have we not realised/learned that pudding about at the back isn’t working? In fact it’s causing us problems.
-
Even if we get owt We’ve been awful.
-
How on earth has simoes stayed on,
It’s ridiculous
Yep. Adds nothing.
-

Yep. Adds nothing.
he should not have come out for the second half
-
Is it me or are we just not as good as the opposition....yah I know it sounds crazy but...
Nearly Every team to play us since before Xmas has been better than us whether it’s fitter, more organised, better skill, better everything...
We are really really poor at so many things ...and it’s quite amazing how little bits of luck have helped our cause......
-
3 minutes added on should be 10 all the time wasting
-
A dead loss, three defeats at this time kills us off. It is going to take too long to get things right again to be auto promotion candidates. Hull must be licking their lips to be playing us at this point in the season.
-
I think we have tried to please new signings and we changed a winning team
-
Final ball terrible. Missing Smith.
-
We’ve been bloody awful, very little imagination up front and really sloppy at the back. Not many positives at all.
-
Game over.
-
The other week someone said we were 14/1 to be champions and my wife almost convinced me to put 100 quid on. Luckily I’m not a gambling man and chose not to, I would have been better just chucking 100 quid in the fire. The last 3 games are so frustrating to watch
-
f**king shite again
-
FT 0 - 1 :pinch:
-
that is how many games were we have been out played? I'm starting to worry with Hull next who are actually a decent team
-
I think that our promotion hopes are slipping away.
-
Piss poor, been found out. DM needs to change this awful goal kick routine/playing out from the back all of time with no imagination nor alternative tactics.
-
Absolute garbage again , midfield sitting deep all match and no desire to bomb on
-
I think we are nowhere near as good as some of us thought we were.
-
we are into FFS territory now.
lost for words, this downturn is so disappointing. Just don't know what to expect for rest of season.
-

We’ve been shite for the last 5 games, we just got lucky in two of them
-
Another lesson in how to pass the ball when you have it and how to hassle when you don't! FFS why don't we learn anything! The way we're playing Stanley will finish above us! :turd:
-
You've got to be honest, that was f**kin' rubbish! You couldn't even say Stanley were that good but, for some reason, we just can't cope with route one, in your face, opposition.
-

Might be just be, but I didn’t think they were route one. They just know which areas of the pitch to try to play football in and when to play the percentages, which unfortunately we don’t.
-
Been a long time since we out played anyone. Winning games with a lot of luck/good defending has papered over a few cracks. Still playoff chasing which we expected but talk of title challenge is looking silly now
-
They are obviously playing to instructions so for me DM has to take some of the blame.
-
Stanley are a decent team. Compact and use the space well. Put a foot in to break up play. Effective.
We had a couple of periods there where we were very much on top but we passed rather than shot, or went backwards. We have to be more incisive.
We really missed Matt Smith. Bogle looks decent. Bostock has class but needs to get up to speed. Disappointed with Simoes and Tayls tonight.
We move on. Again.
-
The word you're all looking for is "shite".
