Match Thread Accrington

This is really dire football. Clifton cannot play in central midfield, he has no quality on the ball and has a miserable pass completion rate of 50% after that first half. We may as well not even select a midfield because aside from Conteh they've just been bypassed by constant hoofs down the other end of the pitch. Really turgid stuff.

My god we’re poor today . Everything is flat . An injection of enthusiasm is needed from somewhere

Mercifully the first half ends thankfully because it was boring as fook. Just trying to work out how Accrington missed a sitter then got a corner, I guess it deflected off thin air?

A dreadful advert for professional football.. an enthusiasm sapping half of I don't know what..

Quoted from DB

Hunt not even on the bench!

Absolutely mad how he's treated compared to Clifton who literally gives the ball away for fun and looks like a confused Sunday League player this season, yet he still seems to start every week. Really don't understand what Hurst is trying to do with this team.

Boring, dull, Clifton and Amos been very poor, Eisa is non existant, feel for poor Danny Rose who is so isolated

There is absolutely nothing there. The players just going through the motions. No urgency whatsoever, let alone any actual skill or teamwork.

They are just as bad luckily.

We’re trying to play possession football without the brains or ability on the ball to do it. If Clifton has made one successful pass today I’d be surprised, absolutely atrocious with the ball.

If Conteh (who has been a bit better again) or the defence get the ball in the middle third, the midfielders just run forward aimlessly giving us a flat front five and about 20-30 yards between them and the ball. No movement, nobody coming short, no link up play. It is awful. It must be the easiest thing to defend against the opposition will get all season. You can see Conteh becoming visibly frustrated with the lack of options and movement. Rose is trying hard and winning lots but this is really dire stuff.

And why do we go backwards to the keeper so often from attacking positions?! Sometimes just turn and put it straight into a dangerous area whilst the opposition are out of shape. This is clearly an instruction from the management team to play it safe because Stanley haven’t done it the few times they venture forward. Unbelievably boring stuff and I’m fast getting to the point where I can’t be bothered any more.

It really is like watching two teams who can't be arsed with a game today.
