V - Northampton..

[smudgie]

All we are short of is a striker and an attacking midfielder and we are more or less there I think.

Another fantastic achievement by Coley & Bell.

Any news on Fletcher from Burnley????

I'd like to say Well Done to you lot for yesterday.

It certainly wasn't too dull in terms of entertainment. The ref certainly was a little whistle happy.

Although, I was in the North Stand (stand opposite the away behind goal) I really didn't get to see what happened regarding your keeper handballing outside of the area after Jake Robinson got through. I've had basically everyone who had a good angle say it defiantly was at least a yard outside of the box. Until I see the highlights later, I can't really comment on that.

I certainly do think Accrington had the better of the game especially first half until we mad out first substitute, on which I think it was all Northampton from then. We've got a good player in Lewis Young, and I think he's the one who could win us the games.

I was actually wondering why you lot hadn't made any subs. I thought that was quite risky being first game back in the season and first competitive match. Obviously, it worked out, but I certainly do think after a while, you lot did play out for the draw.

Overall, I do believe a point was probably a fair result.

Like you folks have said, (although you was away), a draw I think was a good result for both teams. There wasn't any losers and I think we can both take some positives out of the game.

Good luck for the rest of the season.

fair reflection of the game cobbler,i did make a point abouts not using subs,yours turned the game in your favour,with there freshness,were as fatigue kicked in with a few of ours.
Wyn,I take on board your comments on young gutherie,but i have inside info on him,my brother in law was his maths teacher in Jersey lol!!!!

coleman has always stuck with his starting 11 and is not fond of subs nor squad rotation.

in all fairness there was noone on the bench that was going to turn the game and a resolute draw/performance was a good start to the season after all of the quality attrition of the last few weeks also thought that kern miller had an exceptional game and looked a more than capable replacement for sunbeds. As posted by most it's goals we need Kurtis looked lively and certainly put a good shift in, Craig did a good job down the flanks but unfortunately Craney was far from flattered by his over tight shirt and looked a yard off the pace...extra training required i believe, however Akinfenwa now that's a different story has somehow managed, as a pro footballer to out Gouck The Gouck def the fattest footballer i have ever seen!

Yes we r flying in for Tuesday game

Football19 what has that got to do with football inside information- maths teacher why don't you ask it straight from the horses mouth

I've just seen the highlights, and looked specifically at the keeper incident, and I can actually safely say I think the officials got it right. I believe your keeper was JUST inside, maybe dead on the line at best, but no-where near a yard outside the box that I was originally hearing.

I think the speed the ball was going and the action at the time, it was just instinct that people suggested it was outside.

Is there any clarity on our "goal" from the first half?

Make sure you get there early and get yourselves a good spot in The Clayton End!!!!

Thankyou for bailing me out cashy!!!,gutheriecrew ,there are some knowledgable football people on this forum (and a few not so!!)and are well versed in the league two standards ,
You may agree or disagree with a lot of them,but its there own opinions,and sometimes makes good reading (unlike a lot of other forums).
I hope young Gutherie does well,like all Acci supporters do,but hes in the paid ranks now and is not bomb proof,although if he does well i suspect he could become a cult hero figure for the ultras.
PS beware of the poster "cashman" , he can be ruthless and still thinks all centre forwards should play like Nat Lofthouse !!

Who have we had in recent seasons who could "turn games on their head"? The two names that would come straight to my mind are Chris Turner and Ray Putterill.
