Re: Bristol thread
Great result for Stanley. Kudos to the the 1101 fans that turned up but bloody hell. The town of Accrington needs a major kick up the arse. This club deserves much much more from the people of Hyndburn.
Fantastic 3 points though and all of a sudden the league table doesn't look quite so daunting. |
Re: Bristol thread
That was really good to watch, played like a team tonight no weak links and everyone played their part the players were up for it & the crowd were up for it.
Well Done a Big Fat Smile has returned to my face:) |
Re: Bristol thread
What he said! Happy bunny tonight :)
Well done lads, more of the same on Saturday please - see you all at Morecambe |
Re: Bristol thread
Great win, showed us a little bit more tonight !...green shoots showing ??....I hope so !.
( Never seen FA 19 as chuffed !) |
Re: Bristol thread
Is my eyesight on its way out or should there have been red cards tonight? How the hell did Odejayi get sent off the other week and Bristol finish with 11 on the field!!!
|
Re: Bristol thread
Not good for my heart, this, 45 minutes hanging on to a 2/1 lead!!
But I'll put up with this all season if need be!! Well done to all tonight! |
Re: Bristol thread
The gap with teams outside relegation zone now only 3 points.
3 points on Saturday could put us back in the mix. Why did the ref play 6 minutes of added on time? How did Xavi and Iniesta, sorry I mean Joyce and Murphy play tonight? |

Re: Bristol thread
Thought the two fullbacks showed there class and experience tonight and the team defended as a unit for most of the game.Murph set the first goal up,but it was Grey who caught my eye.
Their cbs where a lot bigger than him,but they just didn't know how to play him,he was excellent. My only bit of a moan,which others have picked up recently,we went 4-4-2 with a lot of width,which leaves us short in central areas,murph and Joycy are similar players, and what happens you end up marking space to fill the gaps in. That's ok,as long as you press the ball in the final third,sometimes we didn't,and on another day will cost us. If they play together,then you have to go 4-2-3-1 which means you lose the width. Who would be a manager !!,and JB got it right tonight :) |
Re: Bristol thread
Well done to JB and the boys for a hard earned three points tonight.:jimbo:
At times we played really well and it was good to see some hard graft being put in especially by Gray and Mingoia. Apart from his one error the keeper Marcus played really well too as did Nicky Hunt particularly in an attacking mode in the second half. Aldred had his usual totally committed game and Deano did well alongside him. The referee tonight was a total "Numpty!" He let too much go early on and then started booking players far too late. There could have been a couple of sending offs as a result of his weak discipline. He gave a lot of freee kicks early on though when players on both sides appeared to have simply fallen over in tackles! Murphy was lucky to stay on the pitch and sadly he seems to be developing into the type of player who looks to cause trouble. He dives for free kicks / penalties, does some stuff "off the ball" and is always the first to rush in to any situation when handbags have been drawn! Apart from his accurate but straightforward pass for Gray to score his goal Murphy's contribution to the performance was pretty negative. On reflection, we have played to this standard before and lost or drawn. At least now we have broken the ice and we can look forward to better results in the future. I am looking forward to Bowerman getting match fit and teaming up with Odejayi when he gets back from suspension. We still need to improve in central midfield where Murphy offers very little and Joyce lacks creativity and muscle. This must be JB's next focus. Perhaps when Wilson gets back from injury and another possible signing could improve that area of play. Anyway, three points at last and the bad run has ended.... Onward and upward. ON STANLEY ON:jimbo: |

Did anybody else notice our injured/suspended players walk past ?, we have a bloody good team on the sidelines !!!

Re: Bristol thread
just the result needed you could see the relief on players faces well done lads. Asked announcer about M O M said Grey had got it

Re: Bristol thread
Just watched JB's video comments.....
He was level headed, honest and realistic in reviewing the match and also in comparing it to earlier matches and in looking forward in the long term. No histrionics, just faith in his players and in what he is trying to do at the club...... We still need to remind ourselves of the limited resources that he can call on here at our little club and I hope that we can get out of the relegation situation under his guidance.... BELIEVE!!!:jimbo: |

Must also make a special mention for Webbs whose centre forward play was exemplary tonight in my opinion. His positional sense and first touch was immense. Well done Dan. This helped Gray to express himself. James was brave, determined and lively - everything you want from his type of forward. Just what the doctor ordered tonight. Same again on Saturday. Come on Accy. |

BBC website had it as 6 minutes.
Does Dan update the BBC website on their behalf throughout the match or do they have their own reporter doing it? |

in the 3 games I've seen him play I sometimes think he is 'too good' and the other players are nowhere near his wavelength making him look bad. It was his ridiculously fast first touch turn and pass that found Naytackle for the 2nd goal. And I haven't heard a substitution clapped quite so hard in many a year. Gray deserved his goal as well, for a whole hearted performance, never stopped running and jumping for headers. Before his goal I thought he was going to end up getting red carded as he seemed so wound up for it, he had quite a few slapping/pushing incidents with their centre backs. After the goal there was no sign of the early aggression and he concentrated on playing. |

Seems ridiculous to say it but JB will have a selection problem up front when Kayode returns to action. James Gray is flying at the moment and deserves an extended run and Danny Webber seems to be coming into form, not to mention Marcus Carver and Shay McCarten pushing for a place. Nice problem eh, Football19? How would you work 4-5-1 with these guys?
I mentioned our floodlights on the thread starter before the game and I think goalkeepers must have to eat sackful of carrots before playing at the Crown. Maybe it accounts for Marcus's error for the Bristol goal? I was so confident of a result last night that I took my camera for the first time ever in order to record the celebrations after the whistle. Being a superstitious guy I will take it to Morecambe! Pic is here, if I can upload it, but I don't hold out much hope of it loading on past expeAttachment 35221rience. |

The 4-4-2 that Beatts seems to be aiming for seems to be something like the following: Bettinelli Hunt Winnard Aldred Naylor Naismith Joyce Murphy Wilson(Mingoia?) Webber Odejayi I can see a few ways we could set up the the squad however that may be interesting... Lahm at Bayern has this season moved from full back to holding midfield ... the logic being put the man with the best vision and passing in the team in a position where he can effect the game the most - what do people think of Naylor doing a similar job? A possible 4-3-3: Bet Hunt Winnard Aldred Wilson(Liddle?) Naylor Murphy Webber Naismith Odejayi Gray If the priority is to ensure both Odejayi and Gray can play up front we could look at what Liverpool have done this year and play a 3-4-1-2 Bettinelli Winnard Atkinson Aldred Hunt Murphy Naylor Wilson Webber Odejayi Gray We've definitely got some flexibility in the squad - its just up to the manager to get the best out of it! |
Re: Bristol thread
Why complicate it? Keep the same system bring big Kay in for Webber.
Webber needs to earn his place, not on reputation, not on 'being too good' for the rest of the players. If his performances are assessed without considering what level he's played at I think he is 2nd choice behind Kay and Gray. Webber is tidy and has a great touch but for me doesn't get in goal scoring positions enough to be a real goal threat Thankfully it's JBs call |
Re: Bristol thread
Good debate that Sam/Redraine,for me I would go 4-2-3-1.I am liking our fullbacks who are playing really well and this system allows them to get forward more.
If you play with lads staying wide,it's tricky for the fullbacks to overlap,as last night,hunty in particular,drove forward,but on the inside of Naismith. For me,it would be odejayi up top (a must for me ),with three behind him,taking turns to attack and rotate. That role would suit webber/Naismith and Grey.all three have good technique and can shorten the game up. If you watched our goals last night,they all started with us getting the ball down and shortening the game up and overloading in key areas. I have always liked two holding players,which allows fullbacks etc to join in. If it's good enough for mourinio ,it's good enough for me !!! |
Re: Bristol thread
I like that, Football19, but I'm not sure I'm going to agree with you as to you would have as the "2"! Names would be a help.

He was always available for the pass and would drop short to receive the ball to link up play - as well as coming close to scoring twice and being one of the most vocal players on the pitch. |
