Re: vs Dagenham and Thingy
 

I think 2BR were taking bets before the game if there would be a full 90 minutes :D

Re: vs Dagenham and Thingy
 

I can hear the Norwegian lads from here!!! They make one hell of an atmosphere when they come over.

Re: vs Dagenham and Thingy
 

On the radio - or though the window?

Re: vs Dagenham and Thingy
 

On the radio, but it feels like they're sat in the living room!!!

Re: vs Dagenham and Thingy
 

Lincoln losing to Plastic Dons - 4pts ahead of us but the better result for us.

Re: vs Dagenham and Thingy
 

OMG some guy called David just won the crossbar challenge!!! £1000, hope Ricky kept the insurance payments up!!!

Re: vs Dagenham and Thingy
 

yahooo!!! 1 up!!!

Re: vs Dagenham and Thingy
 

Jay on Shaun off. it means we've either gone 5 in midfeild or craney is now playing off mully

Re: vs Dagenham and Thingy
 

toddy off mannix on

Re: vs Dagenham and Thingy
 

Oh dear, Richardson off for 2 yellows.

Re: vs Dagenham and Thingy
 

leam sent off for second yellow card for time wasting. Its all kicking off now, punches thrown. Ian craney booked for getting involved.

Re: vs Dagenham and Thingy
 

How much extra time is the ref playing? Has he lost his watch?

Re: vs Dagenham and Thingy
 

Stanley win. 2 points to the promised land.

Re: vs Dagenham and Thingy
 

1-0. 3 points, clean sheet, job done. Still 17th but much closer to safety. Well done Coley and the lads.

Re: vs Dagenham and Thingy
 

Just wait 'til you find out who it was, (I'm sure the club will be happy with a donation for the new changing rooms)

Re: vs Dagenham and Thingy
 

You ******! You beat me to it, I guess you must have rushed home tonight!!!;)

Re: vs Dagenham and Thingy
 

:D:D:):):)

Re: vs Dagenham and Thingy
 

Poor game tonight, but the 3 points are very welcome. Really glad we won, but yet again I have to question Coleman's substitutions. Sometimes I wonder what he's thinking.

Re: vs Dagenham and Thingy
 

:)some pop group from the 80's wasn't it :D:D:D well done David:)

Re: vs Dagenham and Thingy
 

:)Well done lads,good game tonight and the clayton end load n proud'as for the sending off,ref told him 3 times to hurry up and stop time wasting silly lad he'l miss sat's match at nott's county now.as for the punch up thought there lad should have walked.:do-one:

Re: vs Dagenham and Thingy
 

He was thinking - "1 up and we need to bring a midfielder on to help keep things tight". Unfortunately we always lose our heads and go to panic stations under those circumstances and can't keep hold of the ball for toffee. Never mind - a great battling performance with captain Cav having a blinder. I don't think any of us in the Clayton end would say it was a poor game though. I'll be hoarse tomorrow.

Re: vs Dagenham and Thingy
 

Sorry Sparkie, but it worked ....yeee hah !

Re: vs Dagenham and Thingy
 

We were doing ok before the substitution. Whalley was having his best game in ages and he's taken off (no pace up front and no release from the pressure) and replaced with Harris, who lost the ball more times than not. The one thing that Harris was good at was getting stuck in, but over the last month he's been one of our poorest players and tonight he was a liability.

As soon as we went to 1 up front we were under constant pressure and an equaliser was just waiting to happen.

As for it being a poor game, how many real saves did Roberts have to make? How many shots did we have? I was on the Clayton End tonight I thought it was poor overall, but still welcomed the 3 points.

Re: vs Dagenham and Thingy
 

I`ll stick my neck out. I thought it was a relegation dog fight (Er which it was, actually) We got a scrappy goal then defended way to deep. I was just waiting for the enevitable equaliser and the late winner and then Roberts prancing with delight in front of the Clayton End. Luckily it didn`t happen but definately not a great game:(

Re: vs Dagenham and Thingy
 

Bloody dire performance the only reason we won was that they were even worse than we were.

Stanley started brilliantly and cav did indeed play a blinder for the full 90 however his mate Ian seriously needs to be dropped he's done nout for countless games, the ref had more contact with the ball carrying it off the pitch than Craney did in the entire game.

Fail to see why Whalley started again, the lad tries there's no doubting that but he ain't a striker and why to consistently play him out of position when we've got Leighton going to waste on the bench I do not know.

A plus was Bobby Grant - promising performance with some good delivery, if he learns to stick his head up a bit more and look for the pass a few more times than running into dead ends he could be a very valuable asset. Also bravo to Coley for playing a winger on each wing. Football genious.

Back four looked solid - for a Stanley defence. Kempson once again stood out as the most valuable Stanley player on the pitch.

Silly sending off for leam and I doubt he'll be getting a game in a long time after arguing with Bell on his way off and then muttering insults to his critics in the crowd.

Once we took the lead we seemed to lose composure and instead of keeping at them played deep - not exactly our strength now is it ? That along with illogical substitutions from the management made me grateful we were only playing against D+R and to be fair they have a right to feel they earned a point tonight.

We're safe, but need work.

Re: vs Dagenham and Thingy
 

It certainly wasn't pretty but a welcome 3 points in any case. Thought Phil would've/should've got motm but it went to Darren Kempson.
It was a scrappy game as it was always gonna be with 2 sides fighting for league survival and the lads got stuck in with the exception, as usual, of Craney - or Useless Eustace as someone around me christened him tonight. Really don't see how he warrants an automatic place in the team week in week out.
On the positive side, good to see Cav back and not only lasting the 90 minutes but playing a blinder.

Re: vs Dagenham and Thingy
 

However much we look at the could have beens and the maybes at the end of the season the records will show that we got three points and are a long way towards safety so the master plan worked. I just wish it had been tomorrow and I could have been there.

Made the game at Dagenham but can't do Accy on a Friday night :mad:

Re: vs Dagenham and Thingy
 

I thought it was a decent game, maybe a little bit of cancelling out by both sides scrapping to avoid getting sucked into the relegation mire, but the Atmosphere created by the Ultras was Great,I did not know Bill Oddie was at the match but all credit to the fans for the Bill Oddie song (Red Army) that seemed to galvanise most of the Clayton End Excellent Stuff!:)

Re: vs Dagenham and Thingy
 

I think come begining of season to end of october we should do more friday night footie .. it was a good feeling around the ground last night

Re: vs Dagenham and Thingy
 

Think coleman should pull stops out and keep kemps

Re: vs Dagenham and Thingy
 

kempson looked solid again..he could be part of the backbone of the team next season with kenny arthur...

Re: vs Dagenham and Thingy
 

Even Coleman said it was poor, on Radio Lancashire.

Re: vs Dagenham and Thingy
 

Kempsons backside looked pretty solid too :D very nice though in the slightly tight shorts :)

Re: vs Dagenham and Thingy
 

harwood red will you be seeing yvonne normington tonight ??

Re: vs Dagenham and Thingy

Re: vs Dagenham and Thingy

Re: vs Dagenham and Thingy

Re: vs Dagenham and Thingy
 

Must admit I thought Tony Roberts was superb with the banter last night, His reaction took me back to the old Unibond days, having a laugh and enjoying the game...........well done Mr Roberts :D

Re: vs Dagenham and Thingy
