Accrington Stanley’s frustrating start to the new season continued with a 2-0 defeat at Fleetwood.
Here we take a look at how the players performed at Highbury with John Coleman’s side still looking for their first win of the campaign.
Dimi Evtimov 6
A couple of decent saves but a couple of nervy moments too
Zaine Francis-Angol 6
Was kept busy by Wes Burns, penalised for the spot kick
Mark Hughes 6
Strikers Paddy Madden and then Ched Evans piled pressure on Stanley defence
Ross Sykes 6
Used his height at both ends but was a frustrating game for him and Stanley
Callum Johnson 6
Winger Ash Hunter was dangerous on breakaways and the full-back couldn’t make an impact going forward
Frustrating game for winger where things didn’t come off and resulted in red card
Seamus Conneely 6
Worked hard in the middle of the park without reward
STAR MAN: Sam Finley 7
Midfielder made a couple of dangerous runs into the Fleetwood box but couldn’t capitalise
Jordan Clark 5
Winger couldn’t make a big impact in the game, couldn’t make his usual runs and crosses
Dion Charles 5
First start for the Reds, missed a chance to put Stanley ahead, didn’t see a lot of the ball
Colby Bishop 6
Got little change out of the Fleetwood defence – couldn’t convert a header in his best chance
