2012 Prediction League; Game 42 v Burton Albion FC (home)
Accrington Stanley V Burton Albion So how’s this as an entry for the Forum’s “Impossible Headlines” thread:
Conjures up some images does that one! :D……………………….. But he did – Tom (Port Vale FC), not Francis (Vatican City FC), of course ………… :o If Burton’s away form matched their home form, they’d be 2 points off winning the League Two title ;) ………… At home – even with today’s potentially expensive 1-0 defeat to Snakefield :eek: – they’re on 14 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses (second only to the Cobblers – who finally did us a favour yesterday, beating Torquay 1-0 late on :)) – who stand at 16–2–3, and ahead of Cheltenham on 12–6-2) ………… away, though, they have the 16th best record in the Division :rolleyes: (yes, that does say 16th! :o), with 5 wins, 6 draws and nine losses ……. actually, our away record is better than theirs! :D …………. And while they’ve scored more at home than anyone else (43 scored, 21 conceded ;)), away they’ve got just 18 (only Chesterfield and Barnet with 16, and Torquay with 15, have scored fewer :)) whilst conceding 31 ………. Put all that together, and their season record to date is P40 W19 D9 L12 F61 A52, giving them 66 points, and 4th place – 2 points behind the Cobblers. Of their last 10 games they’ve won 6, drawn 2 and lost 2 :) …………….. Their last eight away, though, have brought two wins only (at Aldershot (2-1) and Fleetwood (4-0)), 1-1 draws at Oxford, Wimbledon and Dagenham, and defeats at York (3-0), Northampton 1-0 and Bristol Rovers (3-0) :D…….. And that, by the way, was York’s last League win :( …………They haven’t got three points in their last 16 attempts (8 draws, 8 losses), which is mainly why they’re now adrift at the bottom of the table …………….. :o:o:o There’s been some activity in the markets since we met shortly before Christmas; in on loan have come ex Rotherham, Tranmere and Shrewsbury defender Ian Sharps (32); Burnley forward Alex McDonald (22) - who you may recall marauding through our defence at will last season in Plymouth’s 4-0 win at the Interlink Frazer Bird Soiled First Something or other Stadium (love it! :D) - has signed for the rest of the season (did you see, by the way, that Kevin Long’s now in Burnley’s first-team squad, and has just signed a new contract through to 2015?); MF Lee Fowler (29) – once of Donnie, Coventry, Wales u21s, Wrexham and Fleetwood – signed for Donnie again, but within no time flat was on loan at Forest Green, and is now on loan at Burton – and good luck too him, given the personal battles he’s had over the years; and finally, they hooked up with former Shrewsbury, Stanley, Cherries and Orient striker Michael Symes (now with his 11th different club), now 29, who signed in January; interestingly, his last boss, Russell Slade at Leyton O, said of him,
Out went striker Justin Donovan Richards (32) – one of Port Vale’s “Richards and Richards Show” of a few years back :rolleyes: – who signed for Oxford despite having scored no goals at all during a loan spell there; former skipper and MF John McGrath (32) – ex Aston Villa and Tamworth – left after 6 years, on loan to York (that’s P16 W0 D8 L8 next-to-bottom-of-League-Two York :p); and winger Cleveland Kenneth Wayne Taylor (29), once of Bolton, the Iron, Carlisle, Brentford and St Johnstone, has gone to Grimsby – who, if they don’t buck up, are going to drop out of the Playoffs in the BSP ;)………. Barrow and Stockport, you’ll have seen, are both in the bottom 4 of the BSP; and who do we know who went from us to Stockport, then to Barrow ……………..? :D Unlucky or what? :confused: For their Cup runs this season, can I refer you to the home thread, but suffice it to say that of their 7 ties, 6 were away, one at home – and they drew that, so had to replay away; two were settled on penalties (5-4 win and 10-9 defeat); and they beat the Blades, Leicester and Crewe on their travels, losing to Coventry, Leicester and Bradford. 14 goals in their Cup games, 61 in the League; leading scorers are DR of Congo International MF Jacques Ilonda Maghoma (25), once with Spurs Academy, with 14; striker Calvin Zola (27) – Newcastle, Oldham, Tranmere and Crewe (where they used to reckon that he couldn’t hit the floor with his hat :p) – has 13, as does “stocky forward” :D Billy Kee (ex Leicester, Stanley, Torquay) – just turned 22, and recently signed up to a new 3 year contract; defender Zander Diamond, striker Matthew Patterson, and MF Lee Bell each have 4, and the aforementioned Michael “My girlfriend likes it in Bournemouth” Symes :D:Dhas 3; 6 others have 2 or 1 to their names ……….. Head to head, we’re ahead ……….. P7 W4 D1 L2; last season we did the double (2-1 at home – goals from Deano and Burnley’s Wes Fletcher, who’s just gone on loan to Yeovil – and 2-0 away, Kev McIntyre and an OG giving us the points; this season we lost 1-0 at their place on a Sunday just before Christmas, Billy the Pieman scoring after 10 minutes ……………… The deadline for entries is, as always, scheduled kick-off time, which is 3.00pm this Easter Monday, 1st April. All Fools Day? Don’t even think about it! :o We have the bit between our teeth and clear blue water between us and the bottom two :)………. Look at the table, and you’ll see that 8 points still cover the bottom 10 sides :cool:; Wycombe 49; Dagenham, Rochdale and Wimbledon 48; Torquay, Plymouth and Stanley 46; Barnet 45; York 42; Aldershot 41; Rochdale, Plymouth and Aldershot have a game in hand, Wycombe have two ………. And on Monday Barnet go to Wimbledon, Rochdale go to Exeter, Bradford got to Torquay, and Plymouth go to York ……….Oh my! :D Good luck to everybody ……………….. Keep the Faith! :D………… and thanks for playing! :D :bingobang |
