Couldn't get there today. Believe it finished 1-1. Who scored? Who played? What was the attendance?

Re: v. Burnley
 

Walker (loanee) scored for Stanley and Blake with a deflection for Burnley near the end. Crowd was comfortably over 3000.

Re: v. Burnley
 

3225................

Re: v. Burnley
 

Thanks, a good start to pre-season so far. :D:D:D:D

Re: v. Burnley
 

Very encouraging performance from Stanley. I especially liked Miles, who with penetrative dribbling skills gets into dangerous positions and Roberts looks a good combative big 'un. Kenny Arthur looked very solid and had no chance with their late deflected goal. Maybe we have a good "spine" down the middle at last with Mullin surely leading the line when it counts, with McGivern or Dsane playing off him. Carden looks a good midfield general and certainly puts himself about, so with Jay Harris and Proccy in the squad all looks fine in the battling department. Was it Grant on the left wing in the second half? He looked very lively and should come on in leaps and bounds as he gets a bit more muscle on him. One happy bunny here.:D

Re: v. Burnley
 

Tom Rutter wasn't it?

Re: v. Burnley
 

Tom Rutter was playing upfont in the second half i think

Re: v. Burnley
 

It was a young lad on the left wing, so it could have been Grant. I'd forgotten about him.

Re: v. Burnley
 

Just 225 fans from Accy today?????????:eek:

So claim those 'loveable' clarrots!!

Re: v. Burnley
 

It's only pre-season brother, we don't peak too early ;):D

Re: v. Burnley
 

Stupid burnley, scabby goal like always near to the end. I couldnt even hear the so called "loud burnley fans" , stanley out sung them! The only time they sung is when they scored and where shouting for the winner. Its was a little friendly and where moaning non stop even out side the ground i heard burnley fans moaning. However was good attendance and stanley played great, like redraine said miles stood out for me with the darting runs he made. :)

Re: v. Burnley
 

Couldn't make the game today.
What was all that business with Edwards & Ade 'barn door' Akinbiyi I heard about?

Re: v. Burnley
 

I dont have a clue shaker, couldnt see that far if it was an incident in first half , i did see a defender on the floor though and so i shouted OFF OFF Lol ;)

Re: v. Burnley
 

The Burnley fans completely surrounding me in the Clayton end were claiming not to have a strong squad out. I didn't realize Blake and Akenbye were reserves! Accy played well and it was a pleasent afternoon even including the part where my ten year old girl started gobbing off about how much I hate Burnley! :)

Shame that young lad only hit the crossbar once at half time.
That's how you do it Macca!!!

Re: v. Burnley
 

Yes they realised that they was going to loose a little friendly so they chucked them all on. :) Same old burnley. And what a scabby goal!

Re: v. Burnley
 

How did Branch go? Did he look **** cause he tried too hard against his old club, or was he the bizz.?

Re: v. Burnley
 

He didn't play

Re: v. Burnley
 

Struth...out on a limb already:eek:

Re: v. Burnley
 

Anyone else see those 5 or so Burnley fans vault the gate, the one near the Crown steps, Stewards looked stunned and could do nothing, couldn't help having a chuckle.

Re: v. Burnley
 

Enjoyed today's game, our lads played really well and - dare I say it - our defence looked pretty solid in both halves, but for a scabby deflected goal we'd have taken the honours. Unfortunately, the behaviour of a few Burnley 'fans' in the Crown afterwards soured the day a little, not nice to feel uncomfortable in what is supposed to be our clubhouse.

Re: v. Burnley
 

I thought Cav was absolutely colossal in the first half, won everything he went for.

Re: v. Burnley
 

Cav got MOTM :)

Re: v. Burnley
 

good point he was immense

Re: v. Burnley
 

The incident with Akinbiyi and Phil Edwards was a bit of play acting on Phil's part and a rather heavy deliberate shove in the back by the Burnley player. Should have got at least a yellow, but just a stiff talking too by the ref. Even the Burnley fans said he was stupid to do that. Phill did go over the top holding his face as if he had been pole-axed.

Re: v. Burnley
 

They only came to see The Stanley.

Re: v. Burnley
 

Well impressed today!! I think any neutral watching would have been hard pushed to recognise who were the championship side. I think as some of the previous post's on this thread have already mentioned that the spine of the team is looking pretty solid impressed with the no.18 up front & no.21 if there not signed up get em signed up! Kenny Arthur looked solid and as Macca has said Cav was solid, I think even without Mullin we had a different dimension going out wide coming back in excellent I know it's only pre-season but I think we have every reason to be optimistic for the forthcoming season!:):)

Re: v. Burnley
 

Do we have any idea who this "Victor" is?

I did a google and apart from a top flight Nigerian striker and a veteran South American player failed to come up with anything.

May be short of being fully match fit but seems useful.

Re: v. Burnley
 

I've found a decent pic of Tom Rutter: http://www.kidsgroveathletic.com/TOMRUTTER.html. The last line may be his undoing: 'Miscellaneous Dislikes - Liverpool'! What!:o

Re: v. Burnley
 

Favourite away ground Deva Stadium?!!!

Obviously hasn't tried getting out of there in his Puegeot 106 (sic) on a match day or been baited by people in headscarves.

Re: v. Burnley
 

Without the Liverpool comment I wasn't impressed by him. I thought his ball control and awareness was poor and when in a good postion he failed to find the net with poor shooting.

Re: v. Burnley
 

The two striker in the second half seemed scared to shoot, not a fan, who was that 18 ? I'm hoping not D'Sane, short, slow, not good on the ball. He MUST have a good shot to be a proffesional footballer but he just dawdled !


Apart from that excellent perfomance from Stanley, MOTM defo Cav.

Re: v. Burnley
 

the weird thing was david brown playing in defence in the scond half!!??!! Must agree cav played a blinder of a first half

Re: v. Burnley
 

Nope, Rutter was playing down the middle and didn't impress me one bit. Dsane made some good runs that weren't picked up by his mates but did force his way through once and brought a good save from Jensen at the near post. Just looked a bit unfit yet IMO. Browny did well and seemed a lot more forceful than he usually was last season. I think we have lots of options now all over the pitch, except defence? We nearly started with the worst defence in Div2 again!

Re: v. Burnley
 

D'Sane did take part in the game yesterday, Number 18 was A. Trialist

Re: v. Burnley
 

see LC2L8598.jpg for Roscoe

see bur077.jpg for the Victor/Rodney/AN Other dude

like Emile Heskey but goes to ground easier

Re: v. Burnley
 

It wasn't Phil it was the Polish guy who rolled round like an idiot!

D'Sane didn't play yesterday.......

Re: v. Burnley
 

who's the Carlos Moya lookelikee in the midfield? some good bits and some awful bits over the last two games.

Re: v. Burnley
 

Isn't it great when you have a tannoy man and still don't have a clue who the hell is on the pitch for our own club.

Re: v. Burnley
 

From what I recall of yesterdays tannoy anouncements, He wasnt told the names of the trialists and had to anounce them as "A.Trialist"!! Therefore I can only summise that the powers that be (Coley,Whalley etc) didnt want them named.

Re: v. Burnley
 

For some reason, the management are very cagey about the players who are there on trial. It could be a safety tactic to avoid other clubs coming in for our trialists, but I wouldn't know.

It's nothing to do with the tannoy man.

Re: v. Burnley
 

Hmmm... double post.

Re: v. Burnley
 

I guessed that but I'm talking about the new players we signed, did D'sane play etc?
He was told the starting line up and I had no problem when he anounced "a trialist" but someone from the club should have given him some info when subs where made, not knocking him as I think he's getting better.:)

Re: v. Burnley
 

Fair enough keep the names of trialists secret, but No.1 Dunbavin ? And trialist wearing number 6 ... if he's a trialist he's been here since the Unibond :rolleyes:

Re: v. Burnley
 

Maybe, but I happen to know the Wycombe Wanderers management team was watching yesterday. Don't actually know if he would have got any feelers for the first game because we played two different teams and held a championship club for virtually all of 90 minutes.

Re: v. Burnley
 

Good! I was a bit disappointed with no 18, thinking he would be better than that if it had been Roscoe - if you know what I mean!

Re: v. Burnley
 

Accy pre - season trialists don't you just love them?

They would not have been afforded greater anonymity if they had been involved in legal procedings.

Re: v. Burnley
 

:)number 7 is a frenchman and the one withhis hair tied back is from greece :Banane29: number 7 had a good game in both friendlys young tom played better on the wing like he did at clitheroe.from what ive seen so far i'd sign all the trilists strenght in depth the futures looking bright:Banane29::)
