    FA Cup thread 2017/18

    500 would represent a massive away following for us. Is it the novelty of going back to a non league ground like 'the good old days', or because the game is on a Sunday, or the FA cup? The Accrington public are a fickle lot

    November

    Could be the month that makes or breaks our season - Vs Cambridge away (10th) Vs Newport home (8th) Vs Wycombe home (7th) Vs Exeter away (4th) If we can pick up 6 points across those games would be delighted, 4 would probably be acceptable. Most likely would be against Cambridge and Wycombe...

    Season so far

    Would give us a mark of 7 out of 10. This might seem a bit harsh considering we are third, 2 points off top, with the current top goalscorer in Kee and best away record. But we have only beat Coventry out of the top teams and have developed a habit of playing great for only one half of a game -...

    Alex vs Stanley

    A good opening 30 minutes for us won this one. Could have been a different result if Crewe had taken th two '1 on 1' chances, and our keeper hadn't made a decent save at the end. Crewe not the worst team we have played so far

    Alex vs Stanley

    Jackson may be missing for us, and Coleman vowed to make changes after disappointing loss on Tuesday. Will be interesting to see what he comes up with. Crewe - underestimate us at your peril - some games we are managing 25+ shots, one day we are going to give someone a thrashing. Maybe not...

    Stevenage vs Stanley

    Sounds like we completely blew that. Stevenage had 4 chances and scored 3. Is never easy supporting Stanley!

    Stevenage vs Stanley

    Stanley take the lead 1 - 0. Need to score a couple more and put this beyond doubt :D :D

    Stevenage vs Stanley

    Yeah think we will only be bringing about 50. Interesting management style - telling the players who weren't even on the pitch that he wants rid of them! If we go ahead early, can see your players heads dropping and it could get interesting. Will GW be making a return soon? Think I saw an...

    Stevenage vs Stanley

    This fixture means a fair bit to Stanley fans, give the history over the past 5 years or so, has been a bit fiery at times. Got an increasing feeling that every game is like a cup final whilst we have maintained our decent position in the league - but all the players talk about the belief and...

    Accrington Stanley vs Coventry City

    Great result for us. Could have been 3 up after the first half. Our defence/keeper finally seem to be performing.

    Stanley vs Coventry

    Hopefully can get back to winning ways after not showing up against luton. Really missed jackson, but no word yet from the club on his fitness. Slightly concerned over recent performances at home - seem to play at slightly slower pace, and the centre midfield pair go missing at times. Still...

    Accrington v Luton

    Bullied off the ball all over pitch, with luton playing a good pressing game any time we did have some possession. This has happened once before against Cheltenham, hope teams don't get wise to our seeming inability to adapt to this. Slightly better second half performance but the game had gone...

    Accrington v Luton

    I was referring to actual signings when talking about players dropping down/being released from clubs. Wrt loans, I'm pretty sure we pay the minority of the weekly wage, but we have a proven record of improving players before sending back to parent club, hence able to bring in some potentially...

    Accrington v Luton

    I was on holiday :D :D

    Accrington v Luton

    The management have a real knack of finding young players, many who have not performed at higher league clubs, but recognise that they have 'something' about them. The other bit is the belief they instill in the team - the fans rarely complain about effort, it nearly always feels like we can get...

    Accrington v Luton

    Jackson should be back for us tomorrow - him and Kee have formed a decent partnership. We seem to raise our game against the better placed teams, and find a way of winning/scoring late. Predict a close game with both teams scoring. Stanley win 3-2

    October

    Vs Luton - home - draw Vs Coventry - home - draw Vs Stevenage - away - draw Vs Crewe - away - win Vs Barnet - home - win Tough home fixtures to start the month, one win from either would be a great result but feel best we can hope for is not to lose either. Never seem to get a good result...

    Stanley vs Cheltenham

    Very disappointing performance from us, in terms of creating a lot first half and not taking chances, then lack of ability to keep possession and midfield frailty in second half. Our mixed performances continue, expect a response on Tuesday at vale. Thought Cheltenham substitutions were...

    Stanley vs Cheltenham

    Kayden has been pretty good so far, has a bit of pace and seems to run some good lines. October and November look tough for us, play most of current top 10, and we need more than just the one game plan which has seen us do well so far.

    Stanley vs Cheltenham

    Last nights win against middlesborough u23 might make team selection difficult, with some fantastic performances from fringe players. But knowing coleman he will pick the same starting 11 who won at chesterfield. The lack of being able to keep a clean sheet will only be concerning when we stop...
