PLAYERS
Pleased to have made my debut. Couldn’t wish to have made it at a better club. Thanks for all the kind messages.
@tedsmith96
Gutted about the result but buzzing for Ted Smith making his debut. Guy’s got a big future.

I thought Ryan Leonard was man of the match. First half especially he was immense
@daz_poz
We hadn’t lost a game before Saturday since December 13. The stick the team is getting is disgusting.
@reecenewmann
Another tactical master-class from Phil Brown. Felt a bit for the players. Looked lost with the tactics.
@stevewest1903
How many times has Phil Brown said we look too young and then continued to select a young side?
@wahlbergblue
A few six out of 10 performances for work rate but general lack of quality throughout the team in my opinion.
@mwelly7
We’re done by a bit of nous every time. Press, counter, pack the centre for a physical game. Speed and movement, where? Ted Smith man of the match for me.
@mattbarrett80
My man of the match would be the poor souls who tolerate Brown’s inept tactics at home far far too often.
@markedwards1995
Leonard man of the match. Ted Smith did nothing wrong, Payne did well to make the goal but got knocked about. Rest not good.
@charles_colin
Poor team selection, tactics and use of subs cost us. Phil Brown, not for the first time at home, got it wrong. Barrett or Prosser to start in place of JBW at Stevenage. Worrall to start ahead of Payne, Hurst for Atkinson. Need width.
@shrimperjon
So frustrating. No width and as usual couldn’t out think and out a play a team intent on spoiling.
@kristofshrimper
One off day in 10 games. Credit to Accrington who sucked us into long ball football. They got what they deserved.
@danbasildonblue
Good game from Ted Smith. Future Blues’ number one, no doubts. Top goalie.
@slham
Both teams had the chances but Stanley scored theirs. We have a young team and it showed.
@realliamager
Be harsh to criticise too much after the run we’ve had but when you play teams like Accrington you have to have width.
@deanallum
Some strange choices. Worrall must start though, we’re nowhere near as creative without him.
@kaylalula
The inclusion of Ted Smith was irrelevant to the result. Leonard and Atkinson were almost as abysmal as the ref.
@tomjguy
Lack of width was obvious. Two strikers with little supply from wide. But don’t see how we play Payne and not sacrifice width.
@jamuk2000
Brown needs to freshen the team up. Too many players looked tired out there.
@lee1980mason
Poor. The set pieces were awful too. A case of after the Lord Mayor’s show
@petecollier54
Poor showing. Lacked authority of a Prosser or Barrett and some creativity or a cutting edge. Usual story at home. Not great viewing.
@goneshrimping
One step forward, two steps back. Finally looked as if we had got our home form back on track and we lose to a poor team like that.
@thomasfinch93
Accrington played football and deserved win. We were poor and not at the races.
@sjc21660849
When are we going to score from a long throw or a corner and where’s the creativity in the team?
