Lost again by 1 goal , performance Barrow away next week .

Can't understand why we are so poor in nearly every away first 45 so far this season.

Are the instructions given by DA too negative.

It's about time that DA changed his tactics and didn't wait until the opposition score a goal to take the lead.

DA has built a team from no money and it is now showing how poor we are at times.

Can't see much changing in the short term as DA is stubborn and believes his methods are right even given all the off field goings on.

Unfortunately any sale looks so far away.....thanks to the reluctance of the owner to accept an offer even from a person / company who have already got EFL approval.

Sounds as though the penalty was the catalyst to their win which even Radio Lancashire thought was soft

It would have to be Accy who get their first win. We've played and matched teams that are high up the league, but fail against the previously bottom club, who also have a game in hand.
The soft penalty for them and the fact that we should have had one didn't help.
We do go on about the refereeing decisions, but there is no denying it's playing a part in where we are.
We were poor today after the expectations built on the recent performances. There are still signs that we will come good, it has to be soon though!
COME ON YOU MORECAMBE REDS.

We’ve now hit 10 league games without a win - nearly a quarter of the season gone. I haven’t given up hope but this is not looking good.

If he'd been consistent, we'd have had three penalties.

But, out of two poor sides, we were the poorer.

Derek said it was the worst performance of the season, and the players will be in for training tomorrow, because this wasn't good enough.

Yep, it’s all to familiar, what have you got to do to stay in the league? That’s win against the teams in and around you especially those below you in the league and the one team behind us and we lose?

A poor performance today but another abysmal referee. He seemed to guess a lot of his decisions but most were in Stanley’s favour.

Only my thoughts on referees so far BUT I wonder if DA's reputation of being confrontational towards referees goes against him in that referees appear not to be neutral......
