Accrington Stanley (who are they?) v Forest Green Rovers (you what?)

[Chris FGR]

Away at the league leaders, and we're without Doidge. And probably Bennett. Not looking good. The good news is the teams below us will probably mostly lose as well.

We actually played quite well in the home defeat to Accy, but they had that extra bit of cutting edge. Given their home form though (7 wins on the bounce) and our away form (utterly shite) getting anything here would be a massive bonus. Can't see it though.

10 cup finals. That's the way our manager is describing the remaining fixtures. And everyone knows anything can happen in a cup tie. Think we were lucky to get a win at the reverse fixture.

Good news for us is we have fully fit squad, kept the same starting 11 for 3 games straight without making a substitution. And they look like a bunch of winners. Hopefully another win and 1 less cup final to go.

About time Stanley picked on someone their own size, and sadly as Chris says think we'll be getting our heads flushed down the bog here.

Can Accrington actually go up this season?

 

[ASFC Tom]

Can Accrington actually go up this season?

Current league position, form, a manager with a track record of finishing the season well and no injuries would all suggest yes.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Looks like we'll be going two up top despite Doidge being still out which is pleasing, not so sure about Cooper Jnr starting, instead of Grubb by looks of it. Hope his dad knows what he's doing.

Cmon rovers.....
You can do this.....
Do this for queen and country and us !!!

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Goal down already from their first free kick

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Blatant handball and still no pen for us this season

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Well, after sounding like we might be swamped early did get into it a bit without really creating much. The pen shout was ball to hand so probably not that blatant really, hard to tell in full radio vision.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Get in! Bit of pressure, couple of corners and Reuben taps in!

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Gah, pegged back again having competed well. Quality run from Clark and we couldn't stop him.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

And Accy put the tin hat on it as we pushed forward late.

 

[FGR Stroud]

FGR played better in both halves of game but credit to Accy who three times put the ball in back of our net.
Talking to some home fans they were worried before their 2nd goal and obviously 3rd goal was practically last kick of match. They said a 2-1 win would have been a better representation of match.
Good end to end match without referee spoiling game. No card issued to either side.
A loss yes but I'm far from despondent: on this form we will garner more than enough points to remain a EFL club.

 

[Chris FGR]

Yep played pretty well. Bit gutted not to nick a point. Accy got that extra bit of class going forward though. Good side, reckon they're nailed on to go up.

Decent set of results for us yesterday. If we can get 4 points from our next couple of games, we'll be in a strong position.

 

[Randolph Haggerty]

Looked a decent crowd there yesterday, are the locals starting to believe?
I really hope accy go up, they are the bench mark of how to run a lower league club.

Coleman must be favourite for manager of the season and who could argue with that except Vanni?
