As fas as I'm concerned that's been a great sporting day. The Holy Trinity:
* Sunderland win.
* England on top in the cricket.
* Newcastle lose.
Not the best second half but we were winning comfortably. No point busting a gut and risking tackles when we're playing again Tuesday night.
Canny day out and I'm happy even if nobody else is
Glad you are taking it easy until fully recovered

Should be used to it now the 3rd rate scottish manager loves to entertain. Makes your eyes bleed watching us.

I'm not a Ross "hater" and always try to be positive but came away from today thinking "what the fuck"
Northern league team in a northern league ground and I know we won but we f***ing struggled
We are just really hard to watch.

There were plenty moaning at the game.

That second half man. Accrington could have easily scored a second then wed have probably camped in our box

We know the performances are not good, and it is comparable with last season.
But allegedly, you're all "clips" for having the audacity to moan about it

Pointless game that no one really cared about or was motivated for. So what’s the point in attaching such high praise to it?

Well, we won. Mind, the opposition were so poor it would have been almost impossible to lose. Yet we conceded an early goal... again. We failed to dominate, show any signs of progression in terms of cohesion, shape, still no identity. We look like a rabble, totally and utterly dependent on the fact that we have a couple of players slumming it a division below where they could probably function.

Another manager could do better.
In my opinion

On the evidence thus far a chimp could do better.

Not the best performance today but a good three points in the bag.
Came out looking a bit lacklustre and inevitably Stanley scored. Disappointed with Gooch for that. Leadbitter absolutely tore strips off him and he bucked his ideas up after that and played well. His goal was outstanding. Needs to keep a cool head though as he was getting argumentative at times with their players which could land him in bother.
McLaughlin was generally solid. Made some good saves in the second half from Stanley set pieces.
Ozturk and Willis both played well at the back overall. They seem to be getting to know each other well and read what each other is going to do.
O'Nien didn't do much today. He just seemed like he was having an off day. Hume on the other side put in a decent performance and tried hard to move the play further up the field when we sat back in the second half.
Dobson was decent most of the time but had a few wobbles and kept leaving space that they exploited to get forward. Leadbitter was also the same at times.
McGeady and McNulty both scored decent goals. They both made some good runs forward.
Maguire was up to his usual tricks of buzzing around and generally being a nusiance. He frustrated them a lot.
All the subs were the right thing to do, given that we play again on Tuesday night. Grigg almost scored.
It's not as woeful as some comments make out. It's a league one team playing in league one. We're going to get these games where you just grind out the result and take the points rather than play flowing enjoyable football. People have to get used to that.
Highlight of the day was Accrington singing at us "Premiership, you fucked it up!" so we sang back "Premiership, you'll never know"

Was our reserve side as much as it was theirs. 9 Changes I think we made?
