There were times during Saturday's game against Rotherham when all that was missing from the pitch were tents, as the Stanley players were camped out in the opposition half.
This will go down as another home game we should have won with the Stanley attack having plenty of chances to score.
The ball didn't fall kindly for us on several occasions but we cannot be too down about the result because at least we did keep making those chances.
The Clayton End was in fine voice again and the hordes of travelling Rotherham fans remained quiet for long spells of the second half as it seemed odds-on that the Reds would score.
The introduction of Leighton McGivern caused great alarm in the Rotherham defence as he took on the tiring back-line with pace and skill.
And it seemed only a matter of time before he found the back of the net.
But it was not to be, and we travel to high-flying Hereford on the back of two defeats.
I was listening to a discussion last week about the fastest player in the Football League and I started thinking about who has been the fastest Stanley player of all time?
At the moment you would be hard pushed to find anyone quicker than Roscoe Dsane, but is he quicker than Lutel James was and what about Brett Ormerod?
In the days when Ashley Hoskins was speeding up the muddy wings of the Crown ground (we can only speculate how quick he would have been on dry land!) Phil Hutchinson was showing a clear pair of heels to many a hapless Unibond player.
What about tracking back speed?
The winner must be Paul Mullin, who can be going up for a header from a Stanley corner one minute and then clearing the ball off the Stanley goal line the next.
