Northampton (A) Match Thread
 

Looks like a 4-2-3-1 formation to me, with Dean at left back as in much of his time under Coley. Both new lads in the starting eleven, playing behind Carver. Joyce and Procter holding.

Gutted I couldn't make it today. Good luck Jimmy & John. Come on Accy.

Re: Northampton (A) Match Thread
 

Who would have thought that John Coleman and Jimmy Bell would be leading the boys in September 2014?

You can leave, spit your dummy out, scream and shout; but you can never get Accrington Stanley out of your blood once it passes through your heart. There are those who claim to be Stanley and those that what us to believe they are, those that are come home. Forever Red.

Good luck today Stanley I really hope you pull off a blinder this afternoon.

Re: Northampton (A) Match Thread

Re: Northampton (A) Match Thread
 

Probably one for Macca but when was the last time we scored 5 away from home?

Re: Northampton (A) Match Thread
 

Just over 10 years ago

Dagenham & Redbridge vs. Accrington Stanley - 11 September 2004 - Soccerway

Re: Northampton (A) Match Thread
 

Leigh was 6-0 away later that season so 5 were scored then too :D

Re: Northampton (A) Match Thread
 

Did Ged Brannan bag three in that Dagenham game? At home we put 5 past Crewe in 2009 or 2010. 7 past Gillingham in 2011.

Coleman = goals.

Re: Northampton (A) Match Thread
 

In a Nothampton pub laughing at their sour grapes over shipping 5 to a "pub team".

COLEY IS GOD. OLD SCHOOL ATMOSPHERE. ECSTASY. IN LOVE WITH FOOTBALL AGAIN.

THAT IS ALL.

Re: Northampton (A) Match Thread
 

Ever wish that you could've been arsed going to that away game down south?!!!

Re: Northampton (A) Match Thread
 

Amazing result well done lads. King coley is back!!!!

Re: Northampton (A) Match Thread
 

14th feb 2006 Away Burscough Lancashire Junior Cup Quarter final won 5-3

Re: Northampton (A) Match Thread
 

Wow :alright:

Re: Northampton (A) Match Thread
 

One hell of a game,Stanley coulda been 5-1 up at half time,:eek: Sat back a bit in second half, coulda been fatal but got away wi it.:) Shoulda kept at em in my view like first 45. The 2 new lads fitted in great, added summat to the side in my view, very astute signings. Can't wait fer next sat.:)

Re: Northampton (A) Match Thread
 

I expect the 4th official had to work for his money today.

Bit different having John & Jimmy in your ear instead of Beattie.

Re: Northampton (A) Match Thread
 

Yeh agree with cashi bring on next saturday.
we attacked northampton right from the off, they could not cope with maguire, o sullivan and naismith, there movement with the ball was akin to higher standard of footy.
we should have scored eight, o sullivan was outstanding all afternoon
only worry is conceding four and while I cant blame the keeper, we need a keeper with a presence I think this lad is too young yet.
the passion was there today , unbelievable game

Re: Northampton (A) Match Thread
 

Dont we have to pay Lumleys wage if he doesnt play?

Unless we can find another loan keeper, Lumley looks likely to be our number 1.

The lad is young, hopefully he can improve.
Vs Oxford he made some reassuring saves and catches, he might be worth persevering with.

Re: Northampton (A) Match Thread
 

Seem to remember some guy called Alex Ferguson was always in the 4th officials and referee's ear...........................

Think he won a thing or two ;)

Re: Northampton (A) Match Thread
 

Just got back from the match what a thriller, JC has found two diamonds in O'Sullivan and Maguire, asked Robert Houseman about them at half time appearantly O'Sullivan is on a one month contract and Maguire on a three if they can repeat a performance anything like today's were in for some exciting games, at 4-1 the cobblers fans were exiting the ground much to the delight of about 25 to 30 Stanley fans behind the goal who were having a whale of a time, great feeling & a super 3 points

Northampton (A) Match Thread
 

You can't blame Lumley for the goals. Remember, Northampton put 5 past Hartlepool on Tuesday and in their local paper (which I read in the pub down the road before the game) Wilder was saying 'push on, don't hold back'. Well, Coley's two loan signings put them on the back foot and pushed us over the line. I was so delighted to be there, given I live in Leicestershire now, so this is one of my 'locals'.

Re: Northampton (A) Match Thread
 

who was MOTM?

Re: Northampton (A) Match Thread
 

Atkinson fer me, as well as the goals made some great blocks n interceptions. The ref once again was very poor, Nhants got away wi some horrendous fouls, one n instant red in my view, n never even booked em,:eek: near end of game the prat gave Hunty a yellow fer timewasting at a throw in. Ridiculous in view of what he overlooked.:mad:

Re: Northampton (A) Match Thread
 

O'Sullivan for me he was down near their goal-line to the left side of the goal area with no support and seeming going nowhere he calmly drilled round three defenders and thundered in a terrific goal

Re: Northampton (A) Match Thread
 

quite agree Cashy the tony one which poleaxed Nicky Hunt was horrendous

Re: Northampton (A) Match Thread
 

Just watched the goals on The Football League Show. As O'sullivan scored there were six Northampton outfield players plus thier keeper in the penalty box and no Stanley players. Shows how well the lad did!:alright:

Re: Northampton (A) Match Thread
 

What an amazing start to the second coming of Coley and Jimmy!":alright:
I got in the car to make my way home just before half time and I switched the radio on just as it went to 1 - 3 for us! I nearly swerved off the road!! Driving home with the Radio Lancashire there was a contrast of pretty boring commentaries from the matches involving our neighbours either side of us but punctuated with frequent 'Goal Alerts' from Sixfields!
Watching it on The Footy League show this morning it was good to see a variation from one corner kick and the new boys did so well. Nice to see Rob Atkinson getting some glory with his goals but we will need to get our marking at the back sorted. I am sure The Duo will be looking at this starting on Monday.
The 'Second Coming' is certainly going to be entertaining!
I am really looking forward to the Plymouth match now!:theband:
Lets give the Duo a tremendous welcome with a full show of flags and colour on The Clayton End...... come on The Ultras.:drunk:
ON STANLEY ON:cheers:

Re: Northampton (A) Match Thread
 

Naithsmith you blind old git

Re: Northampton (A) Match Thread
 

Well after hearing that score, all I can say is Coley and Bell OUT! Just joking. But defensively to concede 4 is a bit worrying, OK so we scored 5 and could have been more by all accounts. Feel sorry for Mingoia and Buxton, who haven't done much wrong all season, but suspect their turn will come. Buxton for me is the new Phil Edwards, even came from the same team! Looking forward to the party next Saturday against Plymouth and hoping to see the crowd swollen, not because of Jesse McClure, but the return of the dynamic duo that is JC and JB.

Re: Northampton (A) Match Thread
 

Neither of those, swollen cos smobiles coming up from Devon.:D

Re: Northampton (A) Match Thread
 

No point in adopting a "keep it tight, get men behind the ball, catch 'em on the break" plan against the powerful attacking teams. Get at them right from the start and "You score 3, we'll score 4 you score 4,we'll score 5" for me every time, eh Football19? Or would you prefer a 0-0?

Re: Northampton (A) Match Thread
 

Missed the game due to a wedding,didn't want to jink the team but the two new lads are quality footballers,but it was still a big call to throw them in.
Presume we played three behind carver,if so what a exciting trio.
Looks like JC has been talking to Redraine about tactics !!!,as I would have preferred 5-1 :)

Re: Northampton (A) Match Thread
 

OK, but we don't have Chelsea's defence, unfortunately!

Re: Northampton (A) Match Thread
 

It coulda been 5-1 Football19....................At Half Time. n Nhants didn't play that badly, we marmalised em first 45.

Makes a change from Beatties "a miracle if we stay up" every week!!! :)

Re: Northampton (A) Match Thread
 

We are here on Merit Alvin, but it is a miracle we stay up,given our resources.;) Agree about the sour grapes from Nhants fans, Just read their forum many looking down on us n referring to only the 68. We are a pub team though cos we do own the Crown.:D

Re: Northampton (A) Match Thread
 

Now if only the Crown were a Carlsberg pub! ;)

Carlsberg Commercial - Old Lions (Legendary England Football Players) - YouTube

Re: Northampton (A) Match Thread
 

That's what I've been told,indeed a fair full time should have been 8-1 , just my luck to miss it !!!,make no mistake they are a good team this year,so it's an impressive start to JCs second spell

Re: Northampton (A) Match Thread
 

I saw that pal,who in our party said they saw football 19?
