It was lovely today seeing an accrington side play football on the deck (in the second half at least!!!)

Jaime Clarke is looking better and better, when he started to run the channels today Macc didn't have a clue what to do with him.
I also thought John Mullin ran the show today, nice and quietly, even unassuming at times, but the amount of tidying up and neat passing to get us going forward, enabled everyone else to relax and play their football.
Jimmy Ryan grew into the game after a nervous start, and by the time he scored was really enjoying himself on the right side of midfield.
The defense as a whole looked sharp, calm and in control for the majority, something that we haven't seen for a long time.
And then their was a little revalation, John Miles the footballer!!! Previously I have not been a fan of John, but today I found myself shouting encouragement and congratulatory comments in his direction, telling him how well he was playing. I finally saw a bit of what I think we all know he is capable of, and how effective he can be if he's switched on and in the game. Well done Milesy, good game lad!!!!
Well done to Kenny too, for being still awake and ready for action when we needed him towards the end of the game.

All in all a very satisfying performance at home in front of a smallish but very contented (for once!!!) audience. Keep 'em coming lads and we'll soon have more bums on seats (so to speak!!!).
