Pritchard (or any Accrington player to be honest) could hit the corner flag with a shot and the commentators would be waxing lyrical about how fine of an effort it is. Pish off
I actually thought that was our best half in a while. We actually moved the ball quickly when we had it, and at least weren't stuck passing it around the back.
However the worry is Accrington still looked better than us, and our best players are sitting on bench for some reason.
Easy to just criticise Bowyer but yet again let down, awful defending. They do look better then us but in fairness there just shooting from range. Deji has been very good. Morgan off for Maddison please. Like the look of Millar.
There's a fundamental flaw in our midfield, regardless of team selection, formation, opposition. When we lose the ball teams are on our back four almost unopposed within 2 or 3 touches. We have a really soft underbelly at the moment.
Overall, that was better though admittedly from a very low baseline.
Big gap between front line and defence. Morgan and Gilbey not working hard enough to fill the gap.
Embarrassing first half. Just not good enough. Every time Stanley attacked they have at least four players in our box and look like scoring. Our midfield is non existent. And we’re stuck with these players for the rest of the season. They look more like promotion candidates than us
not at the game watching on telly at home , despite the scoreline best atmosphere we’ve had down there for a while, the crowd are still with the team .
Our best performance for about 5 weeks, just completely let down by a moment of stupidity
Yeah, that’s where I am. We’ve a better balanced team than lately and playing better. It’s an even (and decent) game spoilt by a mistake. Always seems to be us making the mistakes these days though.
Centre midfield looks our weakness here. Not sure how Bowyer changes that with that bench

Aneke for Morgan for me... Smyth and Miller are doing well enough with the width
Washington has done really well on his own up top given his stature compared with them but he needs help
Really telling stat at kick-off - we've had 58 line-up changes this season, they've had 14 (least in the league). It really shows, we've not been terrible but they've got a cohesiveness that we badly lack.

We are shocking
Called them a long ball merchant team myself before the game and have been proven absolutely wrong, been playing some lovely football this evening...
Proof you dont need pace if you can find space and pass it
That is unfair in my opinion We have three forwards a 2 forward minded midfielders on the pitch.

some decent stuff going forward tho, so there is hope........not much, but some! 🙏
But, a mistake has cost us, still all to play for.
when was the last time we actually set up to beat a team? Getting really sick of the team selection.
Hoping we bring Morgan on at ht
