Fleetwood thread
 

A huge couple of games coming up which could see Stanley in relative mid table security or dumped back down in the relegation zone.
Will 9.35 tonight see the Cod Army jumping about like leaping salmon at the top of the league or floundering open mouthed at the quality of JB's boys display? I just hope the miserable Accy public don't do their usual trick and reward the lads for a great performance last time out with a pathetic turn out, but I'm not holding my breath!

Re: Fleetwood thread
 

Come on the redssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss.

2-1 Win.

Re: Fleetwood thread
 

I've got a feeling that tonight's result could affect the rest of the season?

Lose and we've got a battle on our hands.
Draw and we'll float around mid table getting good results here and there.
Win and we will be unstoppable (barring injuries and suspensions).

Or am I just talking a load of DAV???

Thoughts :)

Re: Fleetwood thread
 

Think injuries/suspensions may catch up with us tonight,Saturdays game for me is the big one-- hope I am wrong !!

Re: Fleetwood thread
 

Agree with Redraine , we have a team that the town doesn't support . What a big difference this would make , ..........if only!!

Re: Fleetwood thread
 

Rob Atkinson still out (hamstring) and Nicky Hunt suspended for 5 yellows; if Lee Naylor's fit again the back line should be fine ............

We just need to do to them what they did to Mansfield - score one more than they do :D

:alright:

Re: Fleetwood thread
 

Those three are defo out,and theres a few more carrying knocks.
Team selection will be interesting tonight.
I personally wouldnt take a risk on players with saturdays six pointer looming,but thats JBs call.
Whatever team is put out Fleetwood will know they have been in a game !!
Nicky will be a massive loss,especially his height at defending set pieces and corners.
If everyone is available then i would probably throw Laurence in at right back

Re: Fleetwood thread
 

As always we should try and win every game but I would take 1 point from tonight.

They are a good team, but then so are we!

Re: Fleetwood thread
 

Oh, how sad, I woke up this morn and its raining, which means I won't be working, which means I can follow the fortunes of the worlds greatest little club.

Re: Fleetwood thread
 

rumours ricky hatton is at the stanley ..

Re: Fleetwood thread
 

Super Pete wins a penalty...drilled in by Webber.

1-0 :jimbo:

Hold on Stanley!! :):dancedog::D

Re: Fleetwood thread
 

and Kayode scored a second. dreamland?

Re: Fleetwood thread
 

well that's another 3 points in the onion bag. here's looking forward to Northampton this weekend.

Re: Fleetwood thread
 

Fantastic result, surely the result of the season so far?
Good to see Webber getting on the score sheet.

James Beattie must be on cloud 9 after beating one of the title contenders.

WD JB for turning it round.

Re: Fleetwood thread
 

I'm not sure I believe this - but I don't really care!! :):):)

And this is no longer our worst season - 20 from 18 is better than 08/09 and the same as 06/07 and 11/12 :D

Re: Fleetwood thread
 

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

Re: Fleetwood thread
 

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
 

well done stanley james beattie walks on water:jimbo::dancedog::dancedog::dancedog::dancedo g::banjump::banjump::banjump::banjump::banjump::ba njump::banjump::banjump::banjump::banjump::banjump ::banjump::banjump::banjump::banjump::banjump::ban jump::banjump::banjump::banjump::banjump::banjump: :banjump::banjump::banjump::banjump::banjump::banj ump::banjump:

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
 

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.

Re: Fleetwood thread
 

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!

Re: Fleetwood thread
 

Fleetwood fans moaning. God, what would they have been like if they had been in our position after our poor start to the season??

"Accrington had one thing tonight in abundance that we didn't have and that was HEART! When they scored their players were telling us to **** off, and good on them.

Last three games against three lower placed teams we have got 3 out of 9 points. Had enough, done want to see the **** we play anymore, the chairman can do what he wants, but for me Alexander can go, don't care, just delaying the inevitable now IMHO.

****E !!!!

Pretty,pretty, tip tapping about in the first half,
that gets us nowhere, and in the second half a
complete shambles and four Fleetwood players
arguing amongst themselves.

And Accrington Stanley have no money, they operate
on a shoestring,but what they do have and we seem to
lack is bags of bottle."

Re: Fleetwood thread
 

Never mind Fleetwood we'll make the playoffs!!good game Ollie!

Re: Fleetwood thread
 

Well done the Stanley!:hothothot Fleetwood were given a reminder last night that money doesn't always produce success! :dummy:

Re: Fleetwood thread
 

I don't care about what Johnny come lately Fleetwood fans think !!!

I saw enough tonight to suggest that if we keep the momentum going, we'll be nearer the play-offs than a relegation struggle.:D

I agree with F19......Fleetwood were the best side I've seen at the Crown / F.E.S. this season. They were at times a yard or so quicker, often quicker to the second ball. :(

But we are developing a never say die attitude, which often irks the opposition, who are struggling to live with it. We had it under Coleman and we're rapidly getting it under Beattie.:D

The self belief is coming together nicely. Another clean sheet tonight, although we did ride our luck at times.

I'd like to see us move the ball around a bit quicker and not want as long on the ball, think a little quicker and get shots away earlier, although that said, Rome wasn't built in a day, and little acorns lead to great oaks.

The foundations are now bedding in.... we now need a few more positive results for the positivity to maybe infiltrate the non believers of the apathetic Accringtonian public.........

Encouraging to see a few more in the home ends.....just a shame that we never seem to get the crowds that entertaining and winning football deserves.

Who knows how far we'd go with regular home gates of 2 or 2.5k+??:confused:

Re: Fleetwood thread
 

MoM must be a very hard call these days, which is only positive.:) No-one i think ,me included has mentioned the 2 performances by Liddle, since he came in!! the lad has been superb in my view.:)

Re: Fleetwood thread
 

Agree with previous post, Liddle has been brilliant in the 2 games since his return, gives us much more pace and mobility down the lhs.

IMO Winnard was MOM and for me has been one of the main factors in our great run, the bloke is simply immense, not the best on the ball but wow what a defender.

Special mention to Michael Richardson for last night, thought he did really well at right back.

Thought our front 2 were poor, especially Bowerman. i think on his debut his goal showed why JB gave him a chance, but since then he's maybe shown why he was without a club. Think big Kay may have a new strike partner Saturday.

Anyway enough of that, what a result, what a run of form, well done lads & bring on Northampton

Re: Fleetwood thread
 

Re: Fleetwood thread
 

Northampton will be really tough. Apparently they made Chesterfield look very poor last night, by being very physical and playing a pressing game.

Re: Fleetwood thread
 

Hasn't affected Sean Dyche when he won it in September and October ;)

Re: Fleetwood thread
 

Gloucestershire based Swindon fan here. Absolutely chuffed to nuts for you guys, fantastic run of form - long may it continue. Not easy to support an unfashionable club so I applaud each and every one of you. Looking forward to cheering the boys on at Cheltenham in January. Very best wishes to everyone associated with the Club.

Re: Fleetwood thread
 

Thats how i saw it Frank,forgot about Richardson,it was a big call to play him there and he played really well against quality opposition.
Lids will never let you down and i think the forwards will admit they were not at the best in the first half,but who cares,great performance

Re: Fleetwood thread
 

Well done to JB and all the team after a great result last night!:alright:

Nice to be able to concur with lots of comments already made by fellow posters.:hesoff:
Liddle was superb last night, particularly in the second half, constantly raiding down the left and firing in some great balls, hard and low which caused there defence lots of problems.
Koyode got better in the second half too and took his goal like a true striker.
George looked a bit tired and perhaps is short of match fitness. A few more outings should give him more stamina and allow him to recover more quickly.
Webber was class when he came on and showed his experience.
Defence were strong too and Tom and Deano are forging a great partnership now in front of a keeper who will definitely play at the highest level in a couple of years.
Richardson did well playing out of position, perhaps right back could be his best option?

Biggest improvement has been in central midfield. A few weeks ago some of us on here were calling for the need for more combativity in midfield and Murphy and Joyce have now added that to their game and along with Pierro, who works so hard, we are able to play a higher defending line. It is great to see our players harrasing and pressurising opponents in their own half.:boxing_sm

Nice to see us at the top of the form league. It is still early season yet and an awful start to the season followed by a superb resurgence could be considered equal to a steady/relatively poor start to the first 18 matches......trying to be realistic and not get too carried away.

To finish really positively....JB and the team now getting it right, we have had that little bit of luck that we just did not get earlier, and a better turn out by the Accy people.....:cheers:
Long may it continue..:wave8:
ON STANLEY ON!

Re: Fleetwood thread
 

Let's not overlook the fact that if Fleetwood had won last night they would have gone top of League 2 ..........

Re: Fleetwood thread
 

Re: Fleetwood thread
 

Brilliant performance against the best side Ive seen this season

Re: Fleetwood thread
 

Just been looking at the fixture list - only 3 games out of the 15 between now and march are against teams currently in the play off positions or higher

Re: Fleetwood thread
 

What a pity, as Stanley always seem to play best against 'good' teams (notwithstanding Bury away) and can struggle against strugglers.
Saturday's clash is now the next hill to climb.

Re: Fleetwood thread
 

Brilliant result, GUTTED I wasnt there.

Mid table come Saturday 5pm :)

Re: Fleetwood thread
 

Good vid interview wi wiley on fishy now.:) top fella hope we can keep him fer season.
