Afc Wimbledon Match Thread.
 

3 points please!!!!!

Same XI as last week???

Re: Afc Wimbledon Match Thread.
 

Would imagine starting eleven will be the same, Carver must be allowed a run up front i reckon.:) 3 pts is a requirement.:)

Re: Afc Wimbledon Match Thread.
 

More a necessary I'd of thought if the Lads want to start putting some room between themselves & a hoop twitching season. :D

Re: Afc Wimbledon Match Thread.
 

Big game tomorrow, hope we get a good crowd to cheer us on to the points :)

Re: Afc Wimbledon Match Thread.
 

Are fans allowed to criticise the manager now he has left or will cashman and chubbyman shout them down as usual?

No more percentage football direct balls now james beattie has gone, lets try some tactics.

MK Dons are a good team, Matt Tubbs is banging the goals in.

If they persevere with Akinfenwa, he will bully our 2 centre halfs all day long.

but I wonder?????????????????
ON STANLEY ON....:cheers:
Choirboy just being..............
NAIVE AS EVER ...........
BUT 100% STANLEY:alright:

Re: Afc Wimbledon Match Thread.
 

They are as much MK Dons as we are Accrington FC. Different Clubs completely and that's not even taking account of the previous Accrington Stanley.

Re: Afc Wimbledon Match Thread.
 

Well "Technically"............. I supported Accrington Stanley from the age of 5 in 1957 to 1962 in The Football League and beyond that for another 2 or 3 years into the relative wilderness of non League football when the Peel Park ground was crumbling all around the hardy few of us who stuck it out to the bitter end........
When the club was resurrected I even played a few games myself in 1971/2:confused: ...ish for the reserves.
Well ..............Accrington Stanley is in my blood and "technicalities" don't come into the equation...........
What is fact is the 'Here and Now'..........
ACRINGTON STANLEY ARE IN THE FOOTBALL LEAGUE WHERE WE BELONG............
LET'S ALL WORK TOGETHER WITH ONE COMMON AIM............
TO KEEP ACCRINGTON STANLEY IN THE FOOTBALL LEAGUE WHERE WE TRULY BELONG.........:alright:
To quote a cute little creature on the telly ......"SIMPLES"

Re: Afc Wimbledon Match Thread.
 

That's why I said Accrington FC or the 'owd Reds not the previous Accrington Stanley who I'd class as pretty much the same club as now.

Only another 8 hours before I have to get up to head down to the game tomorrow!! :)

Re: Afc Wimbledon Match Thread.
 

Come and stand with me owd lad behind the goal on The Clayton End. I am the old geezer age 62, (but i'm 19 really'), who blows the plastic horn that I bought in 1992!
ON STANLEY ON:alright:

Re: Afc Wimbledon Match Thread.
 

I'm usually on the clayton end towards the main stand with the same lot as usual. Used to be down nearer the goals but they put those seats in. :D

Re: Afc Wimbledon Match Thread.
 

And I'll be sitting almost directly below him with both hearing aids turned off. Used to curse the seats but glad of them now.

Re: Afc Wimbledon Match Thread.
 

Carver MUST start. Such a handful in the Carlisle and Tranmere games.

Let's hope Stephenson puts an end to the failed Hunt in midfield experiment.

Let's have a DON-o-lition job today. :)

Re: Afc Wimbledon Match Thread.
 

Is there any text coverage today?

Re: Afc Wimbledon Match Thread.
 

text com link anyone ?

Re: Afc Wimbledon Match Thread.
 

Stanley are bossing the game at the mo. Cracking game

Re: Afc Wimbledon Match Thread.
 

found the link via the 'team' tab on the home page.

Re: Afc Wimbledon Match Thread.
 

JC n JB are here!!

Re: Afc Wimbledon Match Thread.
 

Well well well. Late goals going our way two weeks running - and a clean sheet against Akinfenwa (aka y..f..b..) and Tubbs!

Re: Afc Wimbledon Match Thread.
 

Missed the game today ( sorry yonmon !),but had a prior engagement on the golf course in Spain !!!
No doubt others will fill is in on our performance,but just one for redraine ---- clean sheet !! :)

Re: Afc Wimbledon Match Thread.
 

Well I for one thoroughly enjoyed the game. Defensively we were solid with Buxton being the man of the match (for me anyway). Hunt back to where he likes to be, midfield fairly solid and Carver and Gray up front excellent. $ minutes to go and Stephenson was subbing Gray with Hatfield, except James decided that now was a good time to score. Akinfenwa and Tubbs looked out of sorts and were not a great threat and I thought the Wombles were a little too physical. At least we got the decisions this week. Meeting JC and JB after the match, coincidence, I do wonder, but for my money I think this would be a backwards step. I know they both have Stanley blood in their veins, but personally, lets see how Stephenson does over the next month. Maybe get Nicky Hunt as a apprentice trainer for the team.

Re: Afc Wimbledon Match Thread.
 

Agree with all the above ,but for me Joycey has struggled the last 4 games and I'd like to see young Josh starting, for me he's the real deal.Proccy's doing well and should be up to full match fitness in a couple of weeks.P.S. the young keeper deserves a mention covered his box well and did what he had to do.

Re: Afc Wimbledon Match Thread.
 

Lumley with a cracking save towards the end - just as important as the goal IMO

Re: Afc Wimbledon Match Thread.
 

Clean sheet, yes, but if Matt Tubbs had brought his shooting boots it might have been another story. Not that we didn't deserve the win, as it was a great, old fashioned, battling Stanley performance. In the first half I thought we didn't quite click in attack with too many over-hit balls, especially corners which frustratingly flew over every attackers heads. Proccy was otherwise engaged in trying to keep Akinfenwa quiet, but in the second half he left it to Atkinson and Aldred. Proccy could then take up more advanced positions which made a big difference and we looked very aggressive in attack. What can you say about Buxton? Is he a tiger, a rhino, or a lion, or all 3 rolled into one. I never really fancied him at left back - until today! Well done, Paul for getting them fired up.

Re: Afc Wimbledon Match Thread.
 

Redraine, keep a clean sheet and you only have to bury one chance for 3 points !!!, bin told proccy did a job on Big Aki, just what the doctor ordered !!

Re: Afc Wimbledon Match Thread.
 

I thought Buxton was really good today, definitely Man of the Match, I also thought the team put in a lot of effort & certainly deserved the win. I too would give Stephenson a go, the players certainly seem to want to play for him & hopefully confidence starting to build with 2 home wins out of 2!

Re: Afc Wimbledon Match Thread.
 

A good win in a game that could have went either way, a solid performance from the team, with a special mention for young Carver his recent performances must have cemented his place in the starting line-ups

Re: Afc Wimbledon Match Thread.
 

thanks for the reports lads - looking forward to my first viewing of the season at Oxford on Tues night ( and another 3 points hopefully ). Disconcerted that the JC/JB duo are sniffing around before Beatt's chair is cold. Don't know anything about Mr Stephenson or his ambitions but surely deserves a crack if players support him. Might be wearing 'Alan jnr' on back of my Stanley shirt at Oxford - don't be shy to say 'owdo if you spot me.

DAV....hello..hello..DAV...DAV...DAV007...hello..H ello..HELLO..has anyone heard from DAV?Maybe he's still in the Directors lounge with JC & JB...DAV...DAV...DAVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV...STANLEY WON !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Afc Wimbledon Match Thread.
 

If Jc and Jb are appointed are you still going to be a traitor?

Re: Afc Wimbledon Match Thread.
 

:tongueout:tongueout:tongueout:tongueout

Re: Afc Wimbledon Match Thread.
 

A traitor, a part time fan, and to top it all off, childish antics on a fans forum.

Real Stanley fans put the club, staff and players ahead of their personal vendettas based on rumour, especially false rumours that they are not prepared to say in public.


Please get behind the club.

Re: Afc Wimbledon Match Thread.
 

Re: Afc Wimbledon Match Thread.
 

Do you ever actually go to a match? If not i'll take you to Oxford on Tuesday.Just PM and we'll make arrangements....No Cashy i'm not going to leave him down there.

There they go a bloody gain .....

ian ray knows the truth.
He is another victim of the accy web bully boys.

Re: Afc Wimbledon Match Thread.
 

they showed the goal on sky sports news,

A great finish from Gray, he showed real composure.

Re: Afc Wimbledon Match Thread.
 

4 Drives....2 Chips........4 Putts......down the channels ?...did it work out I wonder ?.

But you missed another gutsy and tactically sound performance this afternoon 19...a special word of admiration should go to Joe Lumley who, if his technique and reading of the game is anything to go by, has been well coached by QPR's senior Goalkeepers, and his reflex saves certainly contributed to the win !....Like my assessment of Marcus Bettinelli, I reckon Joe can go to the top given the right handling and opportunities.

Re: Afc Wimbledon Match Thread.
 

Again, 3 words - pot, kettle, black!!

Re: Afc Wimbledon Match Thread.
 

Gutsy performance today by the reds from the kick off. Whatever or who ever galvanised the team today, I say more of it. MOM for me has to be Buxton with Carver not far behind. The back four were exceptional today along with young keeper and Proccy is gonna get stronger and add bite to midfield. If Stevenson can keep the team playing as they did today with resilience and determination then give him a chance over a set number of games as we did with Leam. If , as mab says, JC and JB were here, ( pix Kippax please) then ask em if they enjoyed the game and call a taxi

Re: Afc Wimbledon Match Thread.
 

I adopted the acci golf principle,hit it as far as I could and hope I got a result !!! :)

Re: Afc Wimbledon Match Thread.
 

It's hard to sit down and assess this game analytically because of how much emotion was involved; it was almost like a cup game.

As usual we had a bright first half but passing around the penalty box was poor and as such created little. The Dons stepped it up in the second half and camped out in our half for far too long. In the end they made more chances than us but because we stuck to our game plan, Akinfenwa didn't get a sniff (well done Andy Procter) and we were fortunate that Tubbs left his shooting boots down south.

For once we're not left looking at the flanks in anger as Wimbledon tried to go long and central to Bayo time and time again, getting no change. Any time they did go wide, Adam Buxton mopped up and because he wasn't put under enough pressure, had the time to use his skill on the ball to get us out of any tricky spots. Going forward, Buxton barraged through from full-back to the edge of the area numerous times, only for no forward movement to make use of his position. Finally, as with the goal, James Gray correctly worked the channels and gave an outlet for the swashbuckling Buxton. It really was a quality performance and I hope we can use his ability to make assists to the full (that's two games on the trot now - look out Leighton Baines). Having Procter as another defensive cover option in midfield finally gives us licence to get Adam forward without leaving gaping holes at the back.

Equally impressed with Marcus Carver who refused to be bullied and ran their pub team hard men centre halves into the ground.

The final moments were difficult to watch as we were too nervous to keep our high line, which we should have done, instead slipping deeper with each Wimbledon wave. This called the fabulous Joanna Lumley into action and he responded admirably.

A tough day for the players but they coped and performed well.

Re: Afc Wimbledon Match Thread.
 

If it's the "coverage" I saw last night, I blinked and missed Stanley's game.
Is it just me or is Sky's web coverage of League 2 games pretty perfunctory this year?

Re: Afc Wimbledon Match Thread.
 

A great performance by the team and Paul Stevo.:alright:
Matt Tubbs and Akinfenwa have scoed loads of goals over the years at this level. Remember the big guy scored a hat trick against us last season!:mad: So I was glad that they left their shooting boots at home.:tongueout
But actually, our boys fully deserved the three points...:theband:

Talking of "Coverage", I bought the 'Football League Newspaper' yesterday and the scores for some of our lads were; Adam Buxton = 5, Joe Lumley = 8, Cal Naismith = 9 and a place for Cal in 'The League 2 Team of the Week'.
I wonder......do these people actually have an observer at all of the League matches?:pain30:
Cal had quite a good game but I certainly agree with lots of previous posters that Adam Buxton was our 'Man of the Match' yesterday... :thumbsup:although the 'Absolutely Fabulous' JOE Lumley became a worthy candidate late on for making a couple of outstanding saves! :drunk:Well Done to both lads for outstanding performances but also to Cal and the rest of the boys too.:alright:
Procky has certainly made a big difference adding the steel and industry that we have been missing in this area of the pitch. Yes, he did do a great a job on Akinfenwa in the first half as did Rob Atkinson in the second half. Procky's height in the air is very welcome too and in the first half he stood in front of Akinfenwa for every long ball, (and there were lots), from Wimbledon's keeper and defence. He won virtually everything here! So well done and welcome home. Procky looked to be nearer to full match fitness too!:cheers:
I wonder if Adam could be even more potent in midfield with his strong skilful running at defenders. This would depend on Liddle getting really fit or Deano coming back in here or finding another 'true' left back in the loan market perhaps.
All in all, a great performance and a performance that cheered me up too!
I don't think that we should rush into an early appointment. We should definitely give Paul Stevenson a few matches at the helm in a similar way that we did with Leam when he was left in charge. Could save a bit on wages too. not a bad idea to get Nicky Hunt into the coaching side of things too with his broad experience at all levels of the game.:theband:
ON STANLEY ON:wave8:

Re: Afc Wimbledon Match Thread.
 

Nice to see fans singing from the same hymn sheet....

Re: Afc Wimbledon Match Thread.
 

just watched the highlights and cant work out how Buxton popped up in centre mid !,not complaining tho and his reverse ball to grey was excellent (although their fullback will be disappointed).

Re: Afc Wimbledon Match Thread.
 

Nice to see fans commenting on the game.:)
