Re: Shots Match Thread
 

Glad to see Joyce back in for Sean, Sean just isn't league standard yet.

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

Evening folks, big game tonight and chickened out of a score forecast as Stanley endured a 10men tiring game Saturday. Don't know what you think but I'd rather we won this than had reached the 5th round.

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

Being practical is no fun.

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

I think this is more important, but I'm greedy like Mich - I wanted both!

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

this quote is from aldershots manager on the bbc ..

Aldershot boss Kevin Dillon told BBC Surrey:

"They were unlucky [against Fulham in the FA Cup] but the pitch is not the best, the atmosphere will be different and it's a long journey.

"So I will have more insight into the players after this game.

Does this mean he's thinking they'll be knackered after saturday and not as many fans as saturday ... so we going to go all out for a win .. if not a draw will do - the excuse being its a long journey ...

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

Sounds to me like they don't fancy their chances and are looking for the draw, fine by me Ryan Grant, and Proccy are tireless, Symesy didn't do too much running on Saturday, we have Kee King and Turner on the bench and with all guns blazing we wont need a defence :D

But seriously the advantage of such a young team is a couple of days off should be enough rest for them :)

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

Stats from BBC are suggesting the early pressure is ours :)

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

Clarets' banner at Bolton tonight:
'He's not the Messiah; he's a very naughty boy!'

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

We need to be more proficient at converting that pressure to results on the scoreboard.

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

sky say they just have been singing judas all time

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

Proccy 1-0

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

yesss puts us 11th

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

Thank you, Mr Procter. 1 - 0 is good but we'd like a few more.

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

Get in :D

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

come on now lads, turn the screw - we owe Aldershot after the away leg !

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

Just what the Doctor ordered......

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

Lindfield's scored for Macc

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

So far so good ... I like lots of the other half-times too ...

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

Gotta feeling I shouldn't have trimmed finger nails today - nowt to chew 2nd half now.

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

that'll do for me! just logged in and the Doc has put us one to the good, come on Redmen let's add to it. Hope the Ultras are putting the RBA to shame as well

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

bbc text has Stanley 7-2 up on attempts, certainly seems like Aldershot have come for a spoiling game

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

1-1, penalty, after Phil got booked for handball.

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

oh hollyhocks !!! - c'mon reds.

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

Sod it; On Stanley On....

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

Let's get it back. Come on, lads.

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

Cmon reds get the momentum started with a quick reply

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

In KJ's absence ..

^%^(&^^%%E*__)^%$!!!

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

oh ******

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

You even got the accent right. Well done, Chimer.

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

There's something strange with the BBC live text:

'Marlon Jackson takes a shot. Save made by Mikhael Jaimez-Ruiz. Inswinging corner taken right-footed by Marlon Jackson from the right by-line.'

... and Kee on for Miles.

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

and bloody Morecambe have scored twice - now lead Macc 2-1. 6 points in front of us having played 3 more. 15 minutes ago it was 1 point in front :(

could do with Macc equalising, Rotherham taking the lead and Dagenham pulling two goals back against County.

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

come on Kee, get stuck in lad

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

he has - super sub

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

He has! 2-1!

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

Nice timing on the substitution.

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

we got the Kee!!! we've got the Kee!!!!

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

Johnny Coleman - football genius ! (see signature)

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

Oh, wee, wee Mr Kee; get on Stanley.....On.

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

:d

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

Chimer, did you hear 'Cart On' played on Radio 5 at about 12:05 on Saturday?

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

Aldershot panicking? Three subs on 78 mins.

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

Or they are going for it :( Get another Billy lad see them off

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

well done Billy boy! :)

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

I did - it was brilliant - first 20 minutes of the programme were all about us - interviews with Rob Heys and Mr Khan - I played it back on iPlayer so I could get myself a signature - worth the licence fee alone some might say.

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

Macc have equalised against Morecambe, which pegs the Shrimps back a couple of points!

And Torquay have scored at Barnet which keeps Barnet two extra points behind us!

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

well done Macc!

shout of the night though goes to the Dgenham player who scored an own goal for County. Abu Ogogo og (85)

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

just Rotherham to get a winner against Chesterfield please!

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

And Darlo equalise against Northampton ...

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

They have!!!

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

get in there Tom Pope!!!!

is it too late to ask Lindfield for a winner against Morecambe?

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

I just want the Stanley win

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

Full time. 2-1 and back up to 11th!
Well done Coley and the lads.

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

But most importantly - we win !!

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

And we got it :D

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

Yes.......good one Stanley......Next.

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

full time Stanley - well done lads. Onwards and upwards, the Red army marches on

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

Well done lads!! and coley and jb! any attendance figures

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

BBC say's 1279....

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

1279 from the Beeb.

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

Tremendous result - well done lads. Now how about spoiling Shrewsbury's saturday ?

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

Very nice result. Looking forward to another three points on Saturday.

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

any result at Shrewsbury would be good, a win would be giddy. 4 games in hand on them (5th) and only 6 points behind.

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

They gone back to their armchairs than!

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

A win over the Shrews would really open up the road to the playoffs ..

Stop it, stop it !!

Isn't it nice to be hoping the teams below us beat the teams above us?

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

15 points from safety

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

From ShotsTalk:
'Shame really. Accy aren't that much of a side.' :rolleyes:

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

And where are you right now:D:D:D

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

A cold night ,Stanley made hard work of it, but Billy the Kid pulled it off. Well done Reds ,pity about the small crowd

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

small crowds all over tonight. Only 1049 at Macclesfield for the Morecambe game, 1331 at Barnet as well I shouldn't imagine that many Aldershot came up so maybe thats not a bad crowd really? The next saturday game will indicate whether we have gained any new fans from the cup run - especially if the play-offs become more of a reality than a pipe dream.

You've also got to consider that it was the third home game in a week

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

Well done to the Aldershot fans, terrific following especially seen as it's a long way for a tuesday night.
Need Darren Kempson back asap as he gets stuck, which I though was the only thing missing.

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

Shame one of the coaches is still stuck there. Maybe it's time away coaches got a clear exit from the ground :rolleyes:

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

Agreed on both accounts, though well done to Flynn for his stand-in appearance. Thought Kempo was dead-on with his man of the match decision; Dean Winnard played very well. Still ****ed off about that penalty shout (surely if it's deliberate hand ball it's a sending off offence, if it's not deliberate, it's not a penalty!) but thankfully justice was done. Well done reds that was a really good win tonight.

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

From the picture, Shaker, it looks like the burger bar has backfired.

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

Not a classic but three points on the board closing the gap on our rivals at the Top, difference for me especially this season is the resilience to grind results out when needed.

Good substitution by Coley with Billy who plays just in behind the front two and links up play well

Symes link up play is breathtaking to watch at times, he is the real deal

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

Good result for you all tonight. Sort of game where it's difficult to pick yourself up when you just had a big game.:)

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

Excellent battle from stanley tonite, after saturdays big game, once hoof ball went on the deck. Shame that after a good nite of football some commotion happened as stewards, police were out side entrance. Shots fan coach stopped on livingstone rd dunno what happened.

At least I now have a second team doing well. :D

Yeh i agree the substitution was the pinnacle turn of stanleys win, would imagine billy will make a start than bench for next match.

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

my verdict, after running themselves into the ground against Fulham, a cracking result, against a good side tonight, aldershots no4, no6 were two class acts,a few lousy clearances from stanley in first half, overall though stanley were better side, ryan ran his nuts off as usual, thought Kee was excellant when he came on n stanley looked more dangerous, a deserved 3 pts. even the ref wasn't as crap as usual tonight. one very happy bunny.:)

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

Yes....the Dingle's gone Native........:D

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

I was going to get the car , I saw a young lad being accused of throwing a brick or a traffic cone at the bus . The lad was released and came over to some other stanley fans , some aldershot fans came over , and a bit of a scuffle broke out . It was soon stopped by the stewards !
This is the second time i have seen things being thrown at the coaches down Livingston road . So if you know these lads , please tell them to stop it ?

Ah rite explains it, not on young hoolies giving stanley a bad name, on way to clubhouse from main office saw young hoolies bet age 8 - 12 yr olds kickin wall and shoutin abuse for being asked to leave. Not something im not used to seeing at stanley.

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

What does that make them, then?
Imposters in the play-off positions!!!!!!!

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

Hard won 3 points. Thought we bossed the game until losing our way in second half and giving away a needless goal. Well done to Kee who injected some energy and determination. Deserved his goal and surely deserves to start after his recent sub outings

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

Agreed. He looks much fitter than he did in his early appearances. I thought Bobby Grant played much better down the left after Billy came on than he did while struggling to get on the ball up front with Symes. For me he hasn't been as effective down the middle recently as he was when he was moved inside earlier in the season. I would drop Miles on Saturday. I hope Symes recovers well for Saturday as he looked very tired in the last quarter of an hour, unsurprising considering the shifts he has put in these last 3 matches. Made up for Proccy, and hope his goal will encourage him to get in the box more often.

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

When I arrived, the stewards were turning away an 8 year old lad who had come with his grandma. She was going main stand, he wanted to be in the Clayton End. If we hadn't got involved then an 8 year old would have had 90 mins outside.....

If this is what our club is becoming then let me know, no point trying to recruit the youngsters of Accrington...

1200 came, I think it is f-in stupid to alienate the ones that do make the effort!!!!!

PS Second time something has been thrown at a coach, if its anyone near us, I will get to the bottom of it. Out of order!

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

Agree with all of that. Procter is allowed to go forward more often when Joyce is in the team and it gives us a better balance all over. Jimmy Ryan's passing was mostly wayward tonight, though he battled hard as ever. If he's rested I hope Chris Turner is let loose on the Shrews :)

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

PS Second time something has been thrown at a coach, if its anyone near us, I will get to the bottom of it. Out of order!

I would have said , He was around 14-15 years old . We just don't need this ! My gut feeling is he lives around Livingstone road and has no money to get on the match . But just wants to cause agro outside the ground !

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

Congratulations STANLEY...Onwards.

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

strange one for me the midfield area as we are trying to play 3 central midfielders in two positions, Jimmy is not a winger hence few goals scored this season, Luke is more a hold up break up type player and Proccy is your box to box midfielder.

I would from a balance point of view either go with two from three or pack five in the midfield with two genuine wide men, In my eyes that's why Bobby is constantly drifting out to the left looking for the ball, not a critisicm just my own observation

Anyway what do I know it's a results business and they are certainly doing that:)

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

Is there supposed to be a minimum age limit for entering a ground ? I was going on my own at that age :confused:

Thanks mate, why was the young lad refused if his nan was there in other part of the ground?? I've always bleated about youth support as necessary to us building a fanbase. Hope the young hoolie gets a good talking to, cant have this spoiling stanleys reputation. It was smoking at the clayton end even fire engines were on standby lol.

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

Having seen the incident close up (stood at bottom end of Main stand), Phil slipped on the greasy surface and (with rose tinted specs on) caught the ball with his hand accidentally (should really have been a red) however, ham-shanker of a ref allowed play to go on when Aldershot player committed a similar offence whilst jumping for the ball (clearest handball you will see, but nothing done or given).
To be fair, I think the team looked a little jaded yesterday, but the result was the right one. Excellent goal well taken by Billy Kee. I am warming to the lad now.
Personally, I see no reason why we cannot get three points at Shrewsbury on Saturday, hey if we can beat Rochdale and Bury at their grounds why not any team?

:D:D:D

From this picture, I nearly went to the 2 Fire appliances at the back of the Whinney Hill attending a kitchen fire!!!:rolleyes:

Re: Shots Match Thread
 

Shots' manager doesn't think much of our pitch:
BBC Sport - Football - Accrington Stanley 2-1 Aldershot
