Re: Crewe Thread
 

evening all. thought i'd pop over and see how likely THIS game is to go ahead?

lost 2 to frozen pitches already and now we're hearing the Crown Ground is suffering from heavy water.

have the club managed to rectify that problem or are we looking at a postponement?

Re: Crewe Thread
 

contractors were back last week and did a lot more work,as reguards to tomorrow nights game you better off speaking to Rob Heyes I think at the club.

Re: Crewe Thread
 

Some more preview type stuff from Joe Jacobson - ASFC News Story > 3883

Re: Crewe Thread
 

Friends!

We are unchanged...

Re: Crewe Thread
 

Cisak, Winnard, Edwards, Hessey, Jacobson, Joyce, Procter, Ryan, Craney, Barnett, Gornell.

Subs: Dunbavin, Lindfield, Putterill, McConville, Murphy, Boulding, Owens

Re: Crewe Thread
 

Good evening Dan!!! I will be here for the duration as Cowboy is working and I have Emily who is about to go to bed just in time for kick off!!!

Re: Crewe Thread
 

We're getting deep vein thrombosis in the press box as normal... Crewe have quite a following.

The pitch is the big talking point. It's dry. Which is nice.

Re: Crewe Thread
 

Incidentally, do you refer to your husband as Cowboy at home Sarah? Cos that could be interpreted as a little odd!!!

Re: Crewe Thread
 

Five minutes to go before the players emerge onto the striped pitch. How's everyone feeling?

Re: Crewe Thread
 

The teams are out. Crewe doing a passable impression of Blackpool in white tops and tangerine shorts

Re: Crewe Thread
 

No thankfully we're not that kind of a couple!!! lol

Re: Crewe Thread
 

We're off - Stanley kicking towards the Coppice End

Re: Crewe Thread
 

Re: Crewe Thread
 

I'm up here on the east coast, staying with my son's family in Whitley Bay, but my heart is with the Clayton enders!

Re: Crewe Thread
 

8: Stanley 0 Crewe 1 (Byron Moore)

Re: Crewe Thread
 

A long ball down the right into Stanley's area, Hessey and Edwards got in each other's way and Moore had time to turn and beat Cisak.

Re: Crewe Thread
 

ah nuts!!!! come lads shout for it, schoolboy stuff.

Re: Crewe Thread
 

Good start; we'll have no more of that thank you....

Come On, Stanley

Re: Crewe Thread
 

11: 1-1! Charlie Barnett...

Re: Crewe Thread
 

Any idea, Dan why Cisak is starting ahead of Bavs, who has been in good form lately?

Re: Crewe Thread
 

well recovered boys!!!

Re: Crewe Thread
 

Craney advancing on goal, taking his time and assessing his options, laid it left to Barnett who shot across the goalkeeper and into the bottom right

Re: Crewe Thread
 

Wow! Is it going to be another 8 goal affair?

Re: Crewe Thread
 

Is that Charlie " Bennett " Dan ? Thats what the bbc are calling him

Re: Crewe Thread
 

Redraine, Coley said there was no particular reason for making the change on Saturday. Perhaps just using his squad? After all there are still a lot of games to go.

15 minutes gone here and a goal at each end. Pretty high octane stuff so far. Has to be quite direct due to the irregular bounce of the pitch, though Stanley's goal was a very nice passing move

Re: Crewe Thread
 

Come On, get into them Stanley 1-1

Re: Crewe Thread
 

19: Joyce shoots from distance - just wide of the left hand post

Re: Crewe Thread
 

Evening all ! Late entry & I've missed 2 goals, what a mare ! :D

Re: Crewe Thread
 

Well bounced back lads. Let's keep it going and hopefully reciprocate the 6-1 they gave us at Ewood :)

Re: Crewe Thread
 

26: Craney weaves his way through the defence and shoots left footed - it takes a deflection and the keeper saves with his legs

Re: Crewe Thread
 

29: Hessey powers in a free kick from the right and Gornell rises to head just wide

Re: Crewe Thread
 

The Boys seem quite feisty tonight ! Which is good, let's hope they get the result.

Blackpool winning 1-0

Re: Crewe Thread
 

Stanley are playing some really nice football this evening... Just need that second goal

Re: Crewe Thread
 

Half time. 1-1. Stanley just shading it on chances, but probably a fair scoreline.

Re: Crewe Thread
 

How's the pitch standing up, Dan?

Re: Crewe Thread
 

It's still sandier than some beaches and stripier than some zoo animals, but I've seen it worse. It's certainly pretty dry... In the circumstances it is not pretty, but got the game on, so that's the main thing.

Re: Crewe Thread
 

47: 2-1 Stanley - Gornell chests it down and Ian Craney rattles it in from range. BEAUTIFUL

Re: Crewe Thread
 

Fantastic, Come on lads.........

Re: Crewe Thread
 

Terrific goal. The Clayton End is giving us a rendition of Ian's song. It's his first goal in the Red shirt for two and a half years, but it's like he was never away...

Re: Crewe Thread
 

bet the Clayton enders are delirious, eh Dan

Re: Crewe Thread
 

Gerron Lads !! More of this !!:D

Re: Crewe Thread
 

Has a good crowd turned out tonight Dan ?

Re: Crewe Thread
 

52: so nearly three. Great cross from Jacobson, Gornell met it but deflected behind

Re: Crewe Thread
 

Not got an official crowd for you yet folks...

Craney's just had another go and forced a save from Rhys Taylor

Re: Crewe Thread
 

56: mesmeric feet from Craney, squaring to Barnett on the edge of the box. His shot is superbly turned behind

Re: Crewe Thread
 

Seems the Boys are on fire tonight ! On Stanley on, we want another ! :D

Hereford 1-1 Northampton

Re: Crewe Thread
 

Don't you dare mention the table as it stands, Dave!!!

Re: Crewe Thread
 

61 - 2-2
Ball in front the right, flicked up by Donaldson and volleyed in by Artell

Re: Crewe Thread
 

Damn 2-2. :(

Re: Crewe Thread
 

I had no intention Red ! :)

Re: Crewe Thread
 

72: McConville on for Craney

That Crewe goal was a real bolt from the blue. Railwaymen on top now

Re: Crewe Thread
 

75: 3-2 McCONVILLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Crewe Thread
 

Rather have Putterill on. Prove me wrong, Sean!

Re: Crewe Thread
 

'watching' with my grandson, so a restrained "oh dear, what a shame " - wait a mo' - yeah Sean restores things !

Re: Crewe Thread
 

Ball into Barnett just inside the area, he squared, McConville avoided a challenge and powered it in.

His first touch I reckon.

Re: Crewe Thread
 

Hells bells!!!

Re: Crewe Thread
 

Absolutely stunning, what a belting match ! I really envy those at the Crown tonight ! Ol Wynn Harris will be having kittens !:D

Re: Crewe Thread
 

why is it I always miss these games!!! lol

Re: Crewe Thread
 

82: Taylor makes another great save from a long range Ryan free kick

Re: Crewe Thread
 

A spot of defending to do... Don't panic or owt

Re: Crewe Thread
 

I've just been given a pie.

Life is goooood

Re: Crewe Thread
 

Murphy on for Barnett

14th

Steady away Boys, steady away !

Thanks Dan.

Re: Crewe Thread
 

Well done you reds . Brilliant result 3 more points Yeeesss

Re: Crewe Thread
 

Tonight gets even better, Macc beat Morecambe 2-0, Blackpool beating Spurs 3-0 (Adeam, Campbell and Super Brett just scored). Superb win by teh Stanley, just a pity I could not get there, looking after the missus who had an op on her arm this morning. Still alls well that ends well, just glad I also lost my prediction league thingy

Re: Crewe Thread
 

well done Stanley - shame about the crowd size - oh, and Brett has just got a third for Blackpool

Re: Crewe Thread
 

Son's bloody computer froze for the last 5 mins and I couldn't refresh it with all my fingers crossed! What a relief - cheers Dan. Might have a celebratory jog on the beach tomorrow am.

Re: Crewe Thread
 

Re: Crewe Thread
 

Love it :D

Just in from a nice meal out - oh yessss! :)

Had to take the scarf out of the car rear window at about 9.30, as Mrs C driving home and it blocks her rear mirror view - bit worried as probably 10 minutes to go and who knows what affects what happens? But no worries now!

Re: Crewe Thread
 

Was a good game tonight. Craney goal was a cracker :)

Re: Crewe Thread
 

Great Win.

Barnett & Ryan = Immense Yet again.

Craney does nowt for 3 games and pulls that out of the bag, typical!! Though I suppose thats the kind of player he is.

Pitch is beyond a joke.

Great win, bring on Torquay.

Re: Crewe Thread
 

Who was man of the match ?

Re: Crewe Thread
 

Great game.

Terry Gornell put in a magnificent centre-forward performance and was unlucky not to get a goal for his efforts. He was man of the match for me, though Hessey comes close. Glad to see him back in top form.

We must stop losing concentration and getting sloppy with our play. Hopefully these back-to-back wins will give the lads a stronger winning mentality with which to keep switched on for the full 90 minutes of each remaining game.

Well done Reds. Bloody good win, that.

Re: Crewe Thread
 

:) Jimmy Ryan :)

Re: Crewe Thread
 

Thanks Mab

Re: Crewe Thread
 

See what i mean about Craney Dave ;):D

Re: Crewe Thread
 

:) up to 14th place :)

Re: Crewe Thread
 

Cheers Dan, missed the last 15 or so, but what a good night for Stanley. Nice to have a good news period....On, Stanley On!

Re: Crewe Thread
 

How do i sum up tonight- great game, 2 good footballing sides, a ref who deserves much credit fer letting the game flow, Stanley deserved the 3 pts, MoM fer me was without doubt the Crewe Keeper, kept em in it with quite a few top notch saves, Craney scores probably best goal ive seen at the Crown this season, gets subbed heard a groan when McConville came on, on mins n he scores a cracker, showing great composure in the box, hope he adds consistency too his game n may just change me mind, Well Done Reds.:)

Re: Crewe Thread
 

Well done Stanley.

With Michael Symes missing the penalty he won against my other side a good evening all in all.

Hope Springs eternal that they might be playing other in League 1 next season instead of League 2.

Re: Crewe Thread
 

Could not have put it any better Cashy!! Well deserved win, their keeper made at least 3 top class saves in second half!!

It will be quiet at work tomorrow!!!!

Re: Crewe Thread
 

Not much more to add to that IMO.

Great game, glad I got back for it :)

Re: Crewe Thread
 

From Crewe Manager Dario Gradi on the Crewe Website:

Credit to Accrington though. I thought they looked one of the best sides we have faced this season. They looked as though they were from a different division in the first half. Their centre forward was a real handful and they have scored three goals against us.

I thought that when David Artell had scored a great goal then we could go on to win the game but that would have been harsh on Accrington because they were better than us tonight.

:D:D:D

Re: Crewe Thread
 

Agree with shakermaker,but its not concentration they need to guard against but the giving away needless freekicks around the area.
Acci are not the biggest of teams and on another day it may prove costly.
Thought the back four played there three flying machines very well,but the m o m should have been Gornell who was brilliant again,providing the target for the outlet ball and bringing others into play.
Keeper also did well when called upon.

Re: Crewe Thread
 

this result me makes me so proud as a footballing club not a football club as so much needs to prove that to me yet ..........all hail king coley and jimmy and the fantastic team in red and white...so much respect

Re: Crewe Thread
 

Good summary also from Coley, though can excuse the "Flat Spots" he talks of, Crewe were a damn good footballing side n yeh can expect periods when they had the edge.:);) thankfully only short periods tonight cos oer 90 mins Stanley outplayed em.

Re: Crewe Thread
 

Is it too early to look forward to the League 1 derby against Preston next year? :) ;)

Re: Crewe Thread
 

Preston fan in peace here.

My auntie lives in Accrington so she decided she wanted to go on a game so I came along and went on the terraced stand (no idea what it's name is).

Great atmosphere from the start, and saw two great teams play good football on a bad surface. I got involved in the singing too and loved the Gornell chant. Craney scored a thunderbolt as well which was good. Liked Gornell and Ryan, two players who had class and who i'd definately want at Preston.

All in all I was impressed. Definately going to come on again another game.

Re: Crewe Thread
 

Probably Alvin, but we can dream.;)

Re: Crewe Thread
 

I thought Hessey had a really good game, especially first half. All the goals were good, but Craney's goal brilliant. Both sides deserve credit for putting on such a good game on that pitch.

Re: Crewe Thread
 

Gutted I missed it due to work, brilliant result for us, well done red men!

Re: Crewe Thread
 

Great praise indeed,from 1 of the top guys in the game, Respect.:)
