BBC website shows Fleetwood having 12 shots, none on target. Stanley had 8, with 50% on target. Simples.:)

He's on cloud9 DAV....but not for the win but for your POST........

Re: Fleetwood thread
 

Great result, first half Fleetwood shaded, but never outplayed us, 2nd half was only one team wi the heart to go fer it, got exactly what we deserved.IMHO.

Re: Fleetwood thread
 

Cashman,
did Fleetwood look likely to be challenging for the title at the end of the season?

Re: Fleetwood thread
 

Think they will make play offs, Title no.

Re: Fleetwood thread
 

Yes he was, took a photo of t'other half with him before the game. Mate of JB's apparently.

Re: Fleetwood thread
 

Can't argue with that. Probably the first time this season ( off what I get chance to watch ) I can honestly say Stanley deserved that.

Re: Fleetwood thread
 

Never saw that coming!!!
I disagree about Fleetwood,there by far the best team we've played IMHO.
They never let us settle for 70 minutes,and there team was full of pace.
Full marks to the coaching staff for altering our shape after half time,as we struggled with the 4-2-3-1 which they played.
Difference for me was we consistently held a high line and challenged them to get behind us.
The defence won,despite the quality of opposition,keeper never had to make a save of note.
Aldred was immense again and the others did there jobs.
On a side note,despite being out numbered for long periods,Joyce and murph showed what Acci is all about, enjoying the battle !!!
Well done lads

Re: Fleetwood thread
 

To answer the question in my first post on this thread the Cod Army were floundering open mouthed at 9.35 but not at the brilliance of Stanley's football, as we have played better and lost! Having said that we made Fleetwood look pretty ordinary with a combination of outstanding defending, constant pressure on the ball and some incisive attacking play. A great substitution of Webber for Bowerman, who hadn't really had a lot of joy tonight, did the trick and he gave their defence plenty to think about, kept his cool and hammered the penalty right down the middle. The Cod Army support were floating away with their tails between their gills well before the end as they knew they wouldn't repeat their get out of jail card trick against Stanley, unlike as they did on Saturday. A great night to savour and well done to JB and PS who seem to have given to the lads what Ian Wright famously once said of Arsene Wenger - "He gives us unbelievable belief"!
Joyce and Murphy once again astounded me with terrific performances!

Re: Fleetwood thread
 

Great performance and more than matched a very good side. They move the ball quickly, put pressure on the ball and we strong. Work rate throughout our team was impressive.

Hard pushed to call Man of the Match, as all 11 were up for it and played their parts. Winnard unlucky not to get it as kept Tyson, who is lightning quick and too good for this level, in good check.

Re: Fleetwood thread
 

With 16 mins to go I thought a draw would be a good result considering.

There were a few penalty shouts for stanley, the third given and more denied after. I'm not sure of the ones at the Clayton end but I expected the 2nd claim to be given for what looked like a block with an arm on the floor.

Not the best display by Stanley, but the effort was there to grind out a win against a better side who missed a few glorious chances.

stanley and rangers;)

Re: Fleetwood thread
 

Absolutely superb team performance tonight, everyone played their part in beating one of the better teams in the division. We are on a fantastic run and long may it continue!
