Doncaster v Accrington Stanley

Carling Cup first round
Venue: Keepmoat Stadium Date: Tuesday, 10 August Kick-off: 1945 BST
Coverage: BBC Sport website, BBC Radio 5 live, BBC local radio & highlights on The League Cup Show

TEAM NEWS

Doncaster boss Sean O'Driscoll will be without midfielder Simon Gillett, who is suspended after being sent off on his debut at Preston on Saturday. Fellow new signing Josh Payne may make his debut in Gillett's place.

Accrington Stanley will give forward Rory Boulding a fitness test after he limped off against Aldershot at the weekend. Striker Craig Lindfield is another injury doubt so Andy Parkinson and Chris Turner may be brought in.

MATCH FACTS

Head-to-head

• Doncaster have met Accrington Stanley 41 times. They have won 22 games, lost nine and 10 have been drawn.
• The sides have never previously met in the League Cup.
• Stanley have only registered one victory on Doncaster soil. They triumphed 2-1 in Division Three North in April 1924; their very first meeting.

Doncaster

• Since returning to the Football League in 2003, Doncaster have only failed to progress beyond the first round once (losing to Notts County in 2008).

Accrington

• They have never won a League Cup tie away from home.
• This is Accrington's fifth season in the League Cup. They are aiming to reach the second round for the third time.
• Nottingham Forest (2006) and Walsall (2009) are the only clubs Stanley have knocked out of the competition in their history.

Hmm I did wonder how I got 260/1 for a 2-1 Stanley victory with Mr Putterill scoring the first!!!!

However Shaker, if it comes in I shall buy you a few little ones at rehearsal..............think Im pretty safe huh............lol

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

Don't count on it!

:beer58:

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

Listening to BBC Radio Sheffield, they've just given some pre-match news about the Donny team, very much doubt there'll be full match com on us (think they're at Chesterfield).

Looks like it's just live text to keep up to date!

Is this a private party or can anyone join???

Greetings from the Keepmoat. Confirmed team news:
John Coleman has made three changes to his side for tonight's Carling Cup tie at the Keepmoat Stadium.

Out go Ian Dunbavin, Charlie Barnett and Rory Boulding, with Alex Cisak coming in for his debut alongside Luke Joyce and Craig Lindfield.

The full Stanley line up is Dunbavin, Bateson, Edwards, Hessey, Winnard, Joyce, Procter, McConville, Putterill, Ryan, Lindfield

Subs: Dunbavin, Parkinson, Turner, Murphy, Riley

But you knew that, didn't you? :)

At the risk of getting lynched, it's a great playing surface here...

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

Listening to Radio Sheffield on analogue radio at the moment. They are at Chesterfield's new stadium enjoying the apparently very good pies with some match commentary from Hillsborough where Wednesday are playing Bury.

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

Wonder why we have got team news so early?? Hope that Charlie is not injured.....

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

Both sides going through their warm ups at the minute as the extremely irksome PA man deafens the whole stadium with banal "chat"

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

Dan, I know that Bavs is superman, but starting on the bench and in goal??? :D :D :D

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

Have we got two Bavs'? FANTASTIC. :D

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

Shaker, team sheets have been knocking around since about 7 - 45 minutes is about standard for a midweek kick off.

Barnett had some treatment yesterday - my thought would be that with Joyce a more than able deputy and a game on Saturday it isn't worth risking him.

Posted in error!

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

Cock - that'll teach me for copying and pasting Saturday's line up!

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

Lazy journalists eh?

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

See Dan, there's some benefits for not being on the radio - you wouldn't have got away with saying cock on there :eek:

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

It's a male chicken... what's rude about that?

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

And for your information, I may not be on the radio but I'm commentating to myself like a mad person. Force of habit!

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

Good to hear some things don't change - now tell us who's really in goal please :cool:

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

Does anyone want to know how Doncaster line up, or is that largely irrelevant?

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

It's Cisak - clearly! The description was right, it's just the line up that I forgot to change. It's right on the fishy site I think you'll find...

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

Yeah, pretty much :D

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

Leave fairness and impartiality to the Beeb! :D

Cheers that man Jewell!

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

I'd like to know how strong the team we beat are ;) :D :D

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

Only because you have just changed it ;) :) :)

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

Cheers Dan, I'll shut up now :rolleyes:

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

PA man alert - Doncaster Rovers have the privilege of being the first team this season to mispronounce "Cisak"

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

I have to say, I'm glad that you folks are talking to me tonight - it's a bit boring typing away to myself.

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

By the way, the Doncaster line up shows seven changes from their win over Preston at the weekend. Squad rotation or disrespect? That is the big question at this stage.

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

Kick off approaches: time for a loud rendition of the "the impossible dream", which on the basis of where these two teams were ten years ago seems pretty appropriate...

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

Hope it is disrespect, it will make winning feel even better :) :)

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

Is it a confident Accyweb public tonight then?

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

any live commentary on the radio anywhere???

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

Dan, your commentary is always appreciated, whether anyone replies or not!

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

Reckon it'll be a high scorer.

Doncaster 4-2 Stanley.

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

Got to mention (though it's becoming an away game cliche) that the Ultras are in superb voice - they are away to our left and I can hear them over the piped euro pop on the PA system

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

Fashion faux pas alert!
Stanley are wearing black away shirts and Doncaster white shorts and socks... Methinks somebody forgot that Donny's home kit has black shorts and socks.

Doh!

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

Definately confident - I've even had a monetary bet on us to win :)

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

Oh great, the real Stanley fans come along and I'm dumped :(

I think for this round in particular it's normal practice for the championship teams. It usually comes after the first league match and it gives them a chance for all squad players to get a competitive game under their belt asap.

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

Impossible yer a woman.:D

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

Dave, you are always more than welcome... Any players you want me to scout for you? ;-)

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

We're underway at the Keepmoat. Stanley kicking from left to right in their mis-matched black and white kit

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

Just been on to somebody there, could not hear them for The Ultras - superb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

Let's hope it's disrespect.....I wanna win my bet lol. Thanks for the input Dan it's appreciated :)

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

1: Stanley concede the first corner - a hospital ball of a backpass from Procter to Cisak goes behind for a corner.

They clear initially, then a cross comes in from the left and Steve Brooker heads over

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

No thanks Dan, although the manager was a close call :D

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

Stanley on the back foot early on...

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

Ha, ha - that could only happen to Stanley

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

Fashion update - Donny's kitman must be the best - Stanley's borrowed shorts all have the correct numbers on them. Well done that man!

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

9 minutes gone and the Reds have weathered a bit of pressure early on but have just strung a few passes together.

Only that Brooker header to mention chance-wise

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

10: Lindfield wins a cheap free kick just outside the box

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

Jimmy Ryan special please!!

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

Hessey drills it in low to the left corner and Sullivan spills - Putterill's following up and heads it in - BUT THE FLAG IS RAISED FOR OFFSIDE

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

How come 2BR never have Stanley live coverage anymore?

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

I've probably been a bit harsh to Sullivan there - it was a decent free kick and he kept it out

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

When will we get one allowed???

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

That's two goals unlawfully ruled out now this season haha!!

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

Hessey on the free kicks??

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

Waddy, why do you think I'm sitting here typing? :-(

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

The offside one was just for practice - come on lads, we can do this :)

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

Val, it was right of centre and he's left footed...

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

Never trust a left footer!!

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

Bit of wind in Stanley sails following that disallowed goal - keeping possession a bit in the Donny half but not making a lot of progress

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

Nice one Shaker :D :D

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

Wade Fairhurst bursts towards goal but is denied by a good last ditch tackle from Hessey, before Dean Shiels sees his follow up shot easily saved by Cisak

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

Yes i know your typing because they don't ha, i was wondering why they don't?

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

Bit surprised that Jimmy Ryan isn't with Ireland's Under 21s tonight.

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

18: Donny's Josh Payne scoops an effort just over

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

20: Donny corner from the right: free header for Brooker who mercifully puts it wide

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

uk cowboy'd have had a heart attack had Putterill's goal been allowed to stand!

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

23: great football from Stanley: Edwards breaks up a counter on half way and gallops forward, cutting the ball back from a right wing position to Lindfield who fires it just over

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

Phil Edwards, the Scouse Beckenbauer!

Good to see him getting forward more this season :)

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

What do you mean would have done? The ambulance is outside lol.

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

Someone has just tapped me on the shoulder and said that Donny are "giving Accy far too much possession in this game"

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

Are they, that's nice of them isn't it?
Could they give us some goals? ;-)

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

if a draw will it be extra time or a replay?

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

Well they've given us their shorts - what's a bit of possession between friends :)

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

Four goals in six minutes at Oxford!!

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

Was it O'Driscoll ? :D

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

GOLDEN CHANCE MISSED
31: Lindfield knocks down a long ball forward to Putterill, who composes himself on the edge of the area before missing the target.

A really good chance goes begging

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

BBC text commentary inactive = Dan's our man & much appreciated.

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

No replays. Not sure if it's ET & Penalties or straight to penalties these days

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

Sammy - it's ET and pens if required

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

Pens, after extra time.

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

[already answered]

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

At leaast we're making the chances - go on lads!

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

He must know about UK!!!! :D :D

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

33: Shiels curls a shot just wide for Donny

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

Cheers Boys just so you know my names sam, sammyg is my nickname ;)

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

Stanley have had the better chances. In terms of quality.

Ten minutes to go in the first half

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

I'm a gibbering wreck Joe !!!

C'mon Ray slot it home please :)

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

3rd time lucky maybe :)

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

five minutes to go and Stanley are defending - but Shiels makes a hash of his cross and the danger subsides

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

Latest text update from Sporting Life - Sporting Life - Football Live

"40 Accrington Stanley are in control of the match. Key player: Phil Edwards" :D

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

One minute added

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

Ryan crosses from the right but Sullivan collects.

HALF TIME

Re: vs Doncaster Match Thread
 

Brew time - cheers for the commentary Dan - SSN seems to have s reporter at every ground except the Keepmoat so it's very much appreciated :)
