STANLEY STUN CHERRIES
4:55pm Saturday 15th November 2008 in
CHERRIES’ latest attempt to finally wipe out their points deficit was emphatically sunk by a lightning three-goal blitz at Accrington Stanley today.
The rampant hosts struck three times inside the opening 20 minutes to leave Jimmy Quinn’s beleaguered troops licking their gaping wounds. Stanley skipper Paul Mullin started the rout when he fired the hosts into a third-minute lead before Terry Gornell soon added a second.
And after Rostyn Griffiths had made it 3-0 after just 20 minutes, Cherries’ long-suffering travelling supporters could have been forgiven for heading for the exit door.
New signing Michael Symes was handed his Cherries debut following his arrival on a month’s loan from Shrewsbury Town earlier this week.
The 25-year-old lined up in attack alongside Brett Pitman as boss Quinn made one change from the FA Cup win over Bristol Rovers.
Accrington’s FA Cup exploits, meanwhile, ended after they suffered a 1-0 defeat at Tranmere in a first round replay on Thursday.
But despite having little time to recover, Stanley showed no signs of fatigue and raced in to a 3-0 lead inside the opening 20 minutes.
Cherries made the worst possible start when they went behind to Paul Mullin’s third-minute effort, the Stanley skipper coolly slotting the ball past Shwan Jalal.
And although Pitman and Symes both tried their luck as Cherries looked for an instant response, Gornell doubled the hosts’ lead after just 13 minutes.
Gornell’s deflected shot looped over Jalal after Paul Mullin had provided the assist by outjumping the Cherries defence to flick on Kenny Arthur’s mule-like clearance.
And Cherries were left with a mountain to climb after Griffiths’s stunning strike whistled into the top corner to make it 3-0 just 20 minutes in.
Sammy Igoe and Pitman both warmed the hands of Stanley goalkeeper Arthur as the shell-shocked visitors attempted to restore some pride.
And while Darren Anderton and Symes also had noteworthy efforts on goal, Arthur watched as both opportunities flew past the woodwork.
Griffiths went close to adding a fourth at the start of the second half before Jason Pearce scooped the ball over following a frantic goalmouth scramble.
Cherries’ fruitless search for a consolation continued as Symes lifted a chance over the top from an acute angle before Jeff Goulding’s snapshot was parried by Arthur.

So much for the army camp and the guy we are paying to motivate the players
The club contines in disarray on and off the pitch. Today's attendance 1100 let's get used to it - about average gate in the Blue Square

I know a lot of people on this site have criticised Pitman and I have to say he doesn't look like a centre forward to me. I thought Symes did ok but we needed someone playing close to him to pick up the loose balls. I thought Anderton tried hard and so did Igoe but that was about it.
The really depressing thing is that Grimsby won so we are even further off safety.

Against Darlington & Rotherham we looked really good. Since then we've gone to pieces. Don't undertstand it.I'm not going to hang JQ. What's more, perhaps Kevin Bond's tenure should be seen in a new light. [Blatent handball at Aldershot & 3 serious injuries in 1 game - Home to Northampton last season - come to mind.
Let's face it, if the board had any money, we would have brought in on loan a half decent striker, winger & defender by now, but we haven't.
Why don't we just give a few of the youth team their heads, plus the best of what we've got and start again in the Blue Square.

Twelve points adrify now.Not looking good.The only good thing is they might be on telly more next year with Sentanta.At least JQ will go into the record books as the first manager to take the club into the non-league. All I can say to Baker,Savvy and JQ is ship up or ship out.

no i dont know the answers but then im not professing that i am a manager but at least i do know it.
theres more to running a club than putting up a few quid and giving your mates a job - you have to have a real passion and personality for it and its sadly lacking here .the management of this club is dull as dishwater and almost as inspiring and thats why we are not getting the results

Pass it sideways Anderton cannot do this role.
Second...Bring in Hollands to add drive in midfield.
3.Give Mcquoid and Partington a chance. They have passion, youth and energy to give.
What is the point of a youth system if we are going to fill the team with old men?
The youngsters cannot do any worse. The results speak for themselves.
Grimsby won today and if they get another next weekend we are in very serious trouble.
We need brave and positive actions now.
Remember what Partington did against Swansea last year?
Anderton has had his chance. He was signed on when we were 8th in Division 1...something we can only dream about now.Goulding and Symes upfront on friday please.Give Lindfield a chance too. Pitman has had over a hundred chances and delivered little. He would struggle to get a game in the Blue square on present form and when he is not scoring he adds little to the team performance.
My suggested team next friday: Jalal, Cooper,Guyett,Ward,C
ummings,Mcquoid,Bart
ley,Hollands,Igoe,Go
ulding,Symes
subs Pryce,Partington,Lin
dfield,Bradbury,Ande

Performances on the pitch are abysmal. Forget the Benson era, this is worse.
Those behind the scenes..where is the delivery? Picking up 4th choice strikers from clubs in our division is not the answer.
Time for fans to act..I expect serious protests soon. I am fed up of this scouse connection running my club.
Abysmal beyond belief.

We all know that the club is in it's worst position ever in ability and financial stability.Then, again, we have never before had to cope with a 27 point deduction brought about by many years of very poor administration. We just have to try to understand that it will take much time to recover from such a dire situation and the standard of play is not helping that recovery at all. All very sad news for supporters, players and those who are attempting to put things right at Board level.Our present plight is largely down to history which we all thought could not get worse, but whilst we have a club, we must all continue with our support. Let's just hope that we can beat Grimsby on Friday, have a good run in the cup to lift everyones morale.

They all have two things in common. They want to play in 1st team football and they want to be paid what they consider they are worth. AFCB, sadly, cannot afford the wages and that is why we cannot attract these players. As I said before, I am not talking about the January transfer of players here. If you had read my post properly you would have seen that I agree with you on that issue.Finally, you may think "It's the way things work" but I think it's a disgrace. The 17 points, on top of the previous 10, were far too punitive and they should be ashamed of what they did to poor old Luton.

Absolutely useless. I bet there are thoudsands of people in bmouth which could score better than our strikers! If i were a pro footballer i would relish this opportunity to stay in the league, and the challenge would motivate me! You would think the players would be fighting 100% to play football and win, otherwise if they go in the conference: thats it most of their professional careers are over! Anyway lets home for a win next week!!

i take it that the team everyone is slagging off is the same one we stood and applauded of the pitch last saturday against rovers.

Coincidently, just before the transfer window opens in January? funny that.
Quinn is preparing us for the Conference, as all his aquisitions have been from there, so far.
You read it here first!!
