we've scored 6 goals away from home ( in the lge). only Cheltenham have scored less. take away the 3 against Accy ( who were conceding 3 to everyone at the time ) , and there's hardly any goals for , and even less open play goals. think the Ipswich goal was a pen. and think 1 at MK was a set piece, if i remember right. 2 pens. Ipswich and MKDons 1st.

No reason, just thought I’d drop that memory in to cheer folk up

433 with Sadlier and Dapo clearly doesnt work, gave it 45mis scrap it.
Go back to Kachunga 352 because that works so well.
Evatt has the mouth of Keith Hill, The pragmatism of Parky, the arrogance of Freedman, distain for fans Megson and the tactical brain of Coyle. Yeah DavidM fair to say would like to see the back of him.

Only thing this ref hasn’t done yet is award them a goal
Can FV/SB not give Evatt a final written warning??? If only for the amount of yellow cards he receives He’s a joke

That was just terrible.
High ball after high ball from Cambridge into our box which we could not cope with.
Little passing from us – just big boot.
Charles and Jones missed second half sitters and Morley had a good chance go just wide.
Really poor football

we've scored 6 goals away from home ( in the lge). only Cheltenham have scored less. take away the 3 against Accy ( who were conceding 3 to everyone at the time ) , and there's hardly any goals for , and even less open play goals. think the Ipswich goal was a pen. and think 1 at MK was a set piece, if i remember right. 2 pens. Ipswich and MKDons 1st. you're right. i'd forgotten about that one. the other at MK was a set piece. 1.35 in the vid - the set piece. so 0 scored at Cheltenham, forest green , port vale, plymouth , and today at Cambridge. apart from Plymouth, most of these are fairly poor sides. 2 pens , 1 set piece, and just those 3 at Accy scored. to be fair it is only Mid November , and the season started in late July (earlier than ever !) . just the one shot on target today. to their 5. somehow we managed more shots in total than them. my Bet today just about scraped home but nervy in the final mins, esp as they were offering very limited cashout edit : hope these links work : home and away tables. up to 16th in away table ( from 17th now). showing the limited number of away goals scored..just 6. www.soccerstats.com/homeaway.asp?league=england3and proof of Accys very leaky defence when we hit 3 against them. previous 2 games to us, conceded 3 in BOTH. NEXT 2 GAMES AFTER US. CONCEDED 3 ALSO !!. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022%E2%80%9323_Accrington_Stanley_F.C._season#Results_summary

Today was like watching Wimbledon under Dave Bassett or Cambridge under John Beck and, unfortunately, we responded by playing the same hoofball tactics.
Why we have resorted to long ball football recently, I do not know.

Why we have resorted to long ball football recently, I do not know. Probably because it yielded a goal and the winner v Burton And to think, when Pompey were getting beat earlier, we jumped up to 5th and now we’re not even in the play off spots

Another dreadful performance.
During the week, the manager said we would need to battle but did that mean we had to play kick and rush?
Cambridge were awful in that their only attacking idea was to launch the balls forward, win throw ins and corners and hurl the ball into our box. Unfortunately, our defence has been sussed out and teams know that any high balls into our box creates pandemonium.
Our 2 main centre backs, Santos and Johnston, are dreadful defensively in the air. Santos made a mess of a header in the 1st minute of the 2nd half but was rescued by Trafford and Johnston was beaten numerous times from corners, one of which should have been a goal but their man headed too close to Trafford.
Those comments may sound odd after getting a clean sheet but it was desperation stuff defending against a poor team. Accrington, Oxford, Burton and now Cambridge have made our 2 centre halfs look awful.
We played very much big boot stuff with Morley, in particular, just hoisting the ball forward in the hope someone could get onto it.
Remarkably, we actually had a few chances. Kachunga shot over with a decent attempt after a corner and Iredale had a shot deflected for a corner in the 1st half. In the 2nd half, Charles shot over from an easy chance and then Jones somehow managed to mishead the ball from a corner when he was unmarked 6 yards out in the centre of goal – a really simple chance. Dempsey had a shot saved and Morley had a snap shot go inches wide.
But, having said all that, Cambridge put massive pressure on us which we struggled with and then when Dempsey was sent off, they swarmed over us.
A truly dreadful performance which I just want to forget.
Marks:-
Trafford - 7 One really good save at the start of the 2nd half plus a couple of standard ones. Scared the life out of me when he went down injured Bradley - 5 Some neat touches but that little bit of extra flair/drive he had has gone Jones - 4 Struggled as Cambridge ran at him. Missed an absolute sitter with a header from a corner. Santos - 3 Just cannot win defensive headers. Long throws, high balls and corners caused mass panic all afternoon. At the start of the 2nd half, he made an absolute howler of a header which resulted in the chance that Trafford made a great save from. Johnston - 3 Same comment as Santos. Lost too many headers including one from a corner which their guy should have scored from. Iredale - 3 Too many poor inaccurate passes Morley - 4 Played deep and spent the match launching long balls into no-mans land. Great shot late on could have snatched it for us. Dempsey - 3 Stupid to get sent off. On a yellow he just blatantly blocked their guy but, it must be said, that Johnston had screwed up totally in allowing a man to get passed him and play the ball to the man that Dempsey fouled. Kachunga - 4 A decent shot in the 1st half – not on target mind and then loads of aimless running and diving. He also, along with many others, lost the ball needlessly. Bakayoko - 4 One header over and some running but for a striker, he contributed little. Charles - 3 Totally off form. Ball control poor and then he shot over from 15 yards out when he should have scored. Afolayan - 4 Dempsey was sent off soon after he came on so his contribution was restrained Thomason - 4 Beck - 5

All I will say is that there are many more plusses than minuses in his management of us. I did criticise him last week also and he acted like a pillock yet again today on the touchline.

Everyone can 'act' like a pillock, when its weekly you have to concede its no act. Guys a pilock.
Interested to see a timeline with his managerial career and Coyles. People forget a good start doesnt mean the basis for anything. Coyle was branded "God" by Burnley fans, after a season with us he was touted as Wengers replacement. Few years later hes in India.
Evatts promotion was with an embarassment of talent. Keiran Lee and Declan John dont drop down to play for Morecombe or Forest Green.
3rd season now where Evatt is cap in hand asking for more in Jan. Sorry Ian, all your players these. Enough to field two XIs. For me its strike one and two gone. He has 4 games to save his job. (And I wont be elated if he goes, i believe he should, just wish him luck. Hope he learns and can come again. Maybe he got success too quick and cant accept the need to change(like Dougie).
Bolton is not the platform to learn. Its a platform to grow.
