FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

:) Deserves a thread of its own me thinks ;) Derby County or Southampton at home! Gotta fancy our chances of reaching the 5th rd :) TV live! Ya or nay ? https://accringtonstanley.co.uk/2019...r-southampton/

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

Well, as I said earlier ….. :D

Think I’d prefer Southampton, more likely to mess around with their selection :eek: and give us a sniff of an upset ;)

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

Chimer, your theory certainly has more logic when read a second time. :D

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

I reckon that Coley will rest around nine of our regular first choice players seeing as we have got quite an easy draw in the next round!:tongueout

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

No chance of T.V. in my view, they dont even know where Stanley is.:rolleyes: i see chimers logic with the saints, i prefer derby meself to me thats a more likely sell-out fer us. also reckon derby will change many players, they are after promotion.?

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

Whether it's Saints or Derby, I bet they're both thinking
"Oh s**t! Away at Accy Stanley. That's the worst possible draw for us"

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

yep! Frank Lampard must be having knight-mares

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

I think Derby will win their replay against Southampton, so we'll have a decent turn out from their fans as it's not too far to travel, Frank will be on the touchline in one of his snazzy suits & we'll win the tie with Zanzala scoring the winner as he gets his first hat trick for Stanley - it's in the stars :)
Post match Frank will join the Stanley fans for winner's hour - you heard it here first!

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

great post Accymad are you selling seats on that cloud 9

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

Absolutely! I'm printing them now :D

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

Now scheduled to be broadcast live on BT Sport, kick off moved to 12.30

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

£150 K, fer Stanley fer it also. great news for the club.:):):):):):) Best bit of news this season imho.

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

win loose or draw it might attract a few more to turn up and watch us live who then might become regulars if we play well. the newcastle cup game got me to give it a go in the first place. there is nothing like publicity especially when you get paid for it.

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

Tickets on sale from tomorrow morning.:)

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

Do we need or Ipswich ticket stubs

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

I am glad teh club are learing.

It is possible to sell tickets before the opponent is known, even though I was told this was not possible before Nam v Ebbsfleet.

Selling early and advertising the fact on the website has to be worth a few grand.

No doubt the train strike will get extended another couple of weeks and catch out a few away fans. I think attendances would have improved more if it wasn't for 6 months of strike action.

7 games on telly, I had Stanley as 4th pick after Arsenal, Palace and Dons. Even Chelsea go picked but City Burnley could not move due to the Sky game the week after on Tues. £150k aint bad, and the run isn't over yet. Get through some how and another telly game for sure.

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

Not if yer a season ticket holder,

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

Yes, unless you have a season ticket or loyalty card

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

Thought you needed you stub as well even if your a season ticket holder!! to stop glory hunters cashing in in stead of the fans that actually turned up at the Ipswich game :) need Mr T on this to say ya or nay :)

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

Doesn't read like that Mab, just says season ticket & loyalty card holders & people with a ticket stub from the Ipswich game have priority to buy them tomorrow & Monday

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

Not if you are a season ticket holder,

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

To clarify.
Saturday and Monday:
Season ticket holders.
Loyalty card holders.
Those with an Ipswich ticket stub.

Tuesday:
General sale.

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

Yes, good news for us about the money :). But (bearing in mind everyone's recent comments about the Sunderland away game shifting to Friday :(), very much not good news for any Southampton fans thinking of ticking off another unvisited ground. Probably halve visitor numbers? Obviously not so bad for Derby, if it falls that way.

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

Hope Jimmy knows where Pride Park is if it does :D :D :rofl38: :rofl38: :rofl38: :rofl38:

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

do not think its as bad as it looks. 5 hours from southampton duel carriagway or motorway nearly all the way and a quiet saturday morning to travel. do not want to kick off the sundderland away thread again but i,d prefer to travel on a saturday morning than friday anytime.

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

Got me Cup Ticket thought it would be quiet, but no was a queue.:)

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

will gibson and armstrong be available for the cup game or are they cup tied with their previous clubs or loans.

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

Thats a good question hop4e they can play.

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

Luke Armstrong has played for Gateshead in this year's fa cup already.

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

Luke Armstrong played for Gateshead in thier 2-1 defeat at Rochdale in an earlier round so he's definitely cup tied Gibson should be available.

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

Beat me to it Rob.

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

Shame but Zanzalas ban will be oer then surely?

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

It should be - hope so or we'll be stuck with Mangan again :rolleyes:

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

Gibson will be ok for FA Cup; when Newcastle agree ;)

cuptied for checkatrade; so sort of ok we're no longer involved

Sadly Luke A is "cuptied"

Ozzy's banned for CAFC away; but OK for the FA Cup R4 ( if selected)

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

You may think that - but I live in Pompey and know that trip pretty well ....

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

did christchurch to keighley on a friday night a few years ago and did it in under 6 hours in the rain with one stop. obviously you know the journey better than me but i do think 5 hours from southampton to accrington on a saturday morning is totally do able. by friday night i meant leaving there about 4pm.

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

Wow! That's good going all the way from New Zealand!:p:angel:
Tell kiwi John what flight you came on then he could come to some home Games...heh heh!:Banane15:

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

was waiting for something like that just after i posted it. should have said mudeford to stop the joy.

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

[QUOTE=monkey hanger;1222601]do not think its as bad as it looks. 5 hours from southampton ...QUOTE]

A Saint's STH told me at lunch today that, assuming they beat Derby tomorrow, coaches for the 4th round will be leaving St. Mary's around 4am! :eek:

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

Personally i hope its Derby we play.

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

[QUOTE=Exile on Spencer St;1222852]Going by car, I'd leave at 5 latest. 5 hours drive on a good day, add an hour's contingency for delays between Stafford and Knutsford, half an hour for breakfast, half an hour to find somewhere to park and walk to the ground, half an hour for a pint if everything went well … that's 1230.

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

I honestly don't mind which it is - we'll beat either of 'em :D

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

Possibly, but Townsends on fire at the moment is why i fancy playing Derby, its why i reckon we got a better chance with them.

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

He certainly is on fire Cashy, but the Saints are in a battle for their Premiership survival.
I doubt very much they'd risk him getting an injury at the Wham.
Both Saints & Derby have more important priorities than the FA Cup.
Whoever wins the replay, they'll probably field their reserves.
Methinks I smell a another giant-killing upset.

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

Hope yer right mate,;)

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

so do i but only because i think they,ll bring more. same chance of a win against either though.

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

Trying to weigh up the opposition but it's such a boring game - one thing by for sure, whoever we get won't have the 'luxury' of VAR at Stanley :rolleyes::)

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

Nathan Redmonds presence is making it a lot more interesting !..
Some good midfielders on show as well... makes me think that our engine room will have quite a task ahead of them whoever wins !... looks like it's the Saints after 72 minutes !.

🤓🤓

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

We'll, that's the first part of my prediction come true (should've put a bet on it) :D

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

But yet AGAIN !.. What do I know ??. 😖😖😖

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

I enjoyed the game, was well pleased Derby won, nothing against Saints but should guarantee a full house imho,

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

after watching the game i still think we have a chance. i,m sure coley and jimmy have seen things they can work on.

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

I watched the whole match on TV and I thought that Southampton were a classy outfit, especially when Redmond came on. The first half was somewhat cagey but the match came alive as soon as they kicked off for the second half. Southampton took their foot of the gas and let Derby back into the match IMHO.
I think that we have a better chance of beating Derby than we would have had against Southampton, subject to what players Derby will, or Southampton would have selected.
Let's hope that Frank plays a few lesser players and then if we play to our best form we could definitely beat them!
I thought that the BBC presenters were a bit dismissive of our chances, suggesting that the winners of last nights match would have an easy time at Accrington Stanley and would be expected to go through with little trouble!:cool:
Let's give 'em HELL and send them home disappointed!:mad:
ON STANLEY ON:theband:

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

I have been of that opinion all along, plus the fact more likely we get a full house, also helps:)

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

Talking of Full Backs ( if that's what they call them these days !).. this is interesting methinks !

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

This made me giggle, had a peek on Derby's fans forum & apparently their online ticketing system asks if they have a preference for front, middle or back for Coppice terrace tickets :)

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

Derby must be worried. They’ve signed Ashley Cole to try and stop Clicker!

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

They're panicking Mr.Mannering, they're panicking :D

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

Alright then Stanley fans...………….We are looking forward to coming up to see you on Saturday. I think Frank will pick a strong side as he takes the cup seriously plus we don't have another game until the Saturday after. As I write we have sold 2,000 tickets to away members and season ticket holders who have been to six or more away games. They go on sale to the main season ticket holders tomorrow of which we have 19,000 so I don't think they will reach general sale.
What is your playing surface like? Do you play football on the deck or are you a more direct team? Who are your lads to watch out for?
Hope its a great day out and obviously I am hoping for a Rams win but either way hope we all enjoy.

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

A great gesture by the way to open your hospitality tent to away fans and have the happy hour etc.. The vast majority of Derby fans are great but like most clubs we do have our share of idiots. I hope you get the right crowd taking you up on your hospitality and not the wrong crowd. Just a little worried I have to say.

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

Hi Ram, our style of play depends on the size of your defenders, if they are over 6 foot we will play the high ball.

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

Ha, a bit like us then. In all seriousness though, our back four aren't giants but all over 6 foot except the right back.

Your stadium looks tidy but what is your playing surface like?

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

On a frosty January? Perfect for Cup football.:rolleyes:

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

So that's Finlay out.
So who have you got as his replacement ?
How about a radical approach, push Johnson forward and bring Donacien in at full back ?
If not its Brown or Conneely.

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

Who,s going to play left back Wood?

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

Personally I think Brown but as he got 90 minutes in him thers a few options Mcconville has played in the centre before after all we have wingers in the squad.

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

Gibson

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

After last week at Charlton he looks short of fitness needs game time but not at the expense of a potential cup run.

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

Worth a try but I suspect it’ll be one of latter options. But whatever happened to Nolan?

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

Think he's still out on loan at Salford City

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints

Hope this link opens, it's interesting !

ON STANLEY ON !.. TO GREATER THINGS !

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

Been dragged back.

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

I think more intriguing on the whatsoever happened to ............


Big Ben.

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

He wont get match fitness by not playing him

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

Don't forget all you owd farts 12-30 kick off

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

Another forward signed today and available for selection.
What's your starting 11 ?

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

I'll go first.
Maxted
Johnson Sykes Hughes Gibson
Clark Conneely Barlaser McConville
Kee Zanzala

Subs Brown Smyth Nolan Evtimov Wood Armstrong Mingoia

I'll leave the mystery about Big Ben out of it.

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

Isn't Armstrong cup tied

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

Where,s Doniecian.

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

For my money if Janois match fit should be a knocking bet for a start.

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

I hope so ...... but is he fit ?

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

A fantastic Google Page Ranking job from Stanleyhouse on Derby's forum. Especially, if I remember right, he doesn't get paid to do the job:
https://dcfcfans.uk/topic/31423-accr...ound-26th-jan/

Re: FA Cup 4th rd Derby or Saints
 

Well there you go.
Big Ben back and Janoi back.
Five at the back or five in midfield ?
