For me,as playing surfaces deteriorate,I would be looking to be solid in our run in,but you have to play him as he's top draw.

Definately in my eyes,this season is the first un, we have a chance of automatic place solid is the main priority on this run in, our defence has been top drawer as of late, the midfield are very solid, which is why i'm banging on about a player who dont know the meaning of solid, we need players with heart in my view for this run in.

Not to mention the forecast rain and gale force winds

Or that there's a rugby match scheduled to be played there tomorrow - should make the pitch even more interesting?

Will be tricky playing the 'beautiful game' wearing wellies.

AccyMad · 26-03-2016, 14:55

That'd give a whole new meaning to the phrase 'give it some welly'! Sorry . . . . . I'll get me coat

Well for one reason or another only my 3rd game this season, really enjoyable day out.

I actually enjoyed the 10 minutes queue to get a ticket for Clayton End........ Has the town FINALLY woken up?/ Or was it a combination of a nice day and no game at Turf Moor or Ewood? Not sure, but I haven't seen the ground so busy in a LONG time.

As for the game itself, as others have said, it was pretty much a non-event, apart from or goal and Mr messiah Mcconville missing more sitters. In the end it didn't matter, but I really am staggered at how poor he is compared to the rest of the team. Quite clearly MILES off the pace for me.

As for the rest I thought Mingoia, Kee and Halliday where absolutely magnificent. What a trio they are, if we go up it would be superb to keep hold of them next season.

Also must mention Etheridge in goal.... he has had to wait a LONG time for a chance but really does the look the part to me.

Will be at the Cambridge game next Saturday.

On Stanley On.

A belated YAHOOOOOOO. Had to catch a plane to Christchurch (daughters wedding) real early Sat.morn and when I left the score was 1-0. Had to wait till plane landed before I got final score.Been computer free for a couple of days, and wouldn't have cared in the slightest if wedding had turned to custard because Stanley winning was what this weekend is all about.

Glad to see you have your priorities sorted, KJ, and congratulations to your daughter. I'm sure she will love the Stanley shirt you got her as a wedding present.
