WHAT A SUPERB TEAM PERFORMANCE BY STANLEY TONIGHT!!!:theband:
Every STANLEY player tonight deserves praise.....:mosher:
A team performance full of honest endeavor, good passing football and full of attacking forward play and resolute defence.:alright:
A clean sheet too! A superbly taken goal by Josh Windass from a fast flowing move from the left with an excellent first time shot into the bottom right hand corner!!!!:cheers:
Stanley played a higher defensive line like they did against Oxford with Procky, Josh, Luke and Anthony Barry in particular pressing forward all the time.:hidewall::hidewall::hidewall::hidewall:
Beginning to think that it is a bit of 'Coley Genius' to play our two best wingers at 'Wing Back'. Both Pierro and Cal defended superbly, timing tackles and interceptions so well and still tearing forward down the wings and creating some excellent attacking play. Cal overlapped on one of my favourite passages of play by getting to the goal line and he pulled the ball back in towards the penalty spot. Burton were very lucky to scramble that one away.:alc:
Terry defended from the front working tirelessy to put defenders off when coming out with the ball.:mosher:
Our players hard work, chasing everything and harrassing them all over the pitch throughout the 94 minutes, stopped Burton from getting into their stride. Tactics spot on tonight Coley and Jimmy.
The ref was doing his best in the last fifteen minutes to help Burton get back into the match but we held out superbly.:dummy2:
The defensive arrangement around Deano, Rob and Seamus is probably the best positional set up for these boys. Seamus got done for pace at right back on friday and he is better at centre back where I think he is cool and rarely wastes a pass. Deano has the pace at Right Back and Rob is just so 'Steady Eddie'. Rob had his bad match on friday when he just seemed to misdirect every pass. Tonight he was a rock and produced an excellent all round performance.
Scott in the goals will be chuffed with a clean sheet against the league leaders and he was strong again tonight and 'captained' the defence well.:hehetable
I ALSO THOUGHT THAT THE FANS PLAYED THEIR PART TONIGHT AND THE SINGING FOR THE LAST FIFTEEN MINUTES CERTAINLY HELPED TO KEEP THE TEAM GOING.:wave8:
Typical STANLEY eh...lose to the next bottom team and then beat the League Leaders.:gooddog:
Three excellent points tonight.:wave:
WELL DONE STANLEY:enough:
I AM ONE PROUD STANLEY FAN TONIGHT.:thepint:
ON STANLEY ON:theband:

Re: Burton Albion Match Thread........
 

Although not a match with a great deal of quality I thought we did a really professional job on Burton tonight thought JC got his tactics spot on especially in midfield leaving Barry to do the creative bit giving Joycey the room he needs to play and letting Procky do the rough and tumble which he loves. Well done to Josh made up for him scoring tonight looked after he can become a real talent at this level well done to all that turned up them that choose not to more fool them.

Re: Burton Albion Match Thread........
 

Glass half empty again. Could beat Barca 4-0 and this forum would say "we only had four shots to their five. Appalling. Coleman out. And the ref was terrible too".

Re: Burton Albion Match Thread........
 

Coleman tactically spot on tonight going 3 at the back and playing Barry in midfield allowing Josh to support Terry. Well done sir.

Not going to spoil this with nitpicking the details. Marvellous result. Happy to be one of the 919.

Re: Burton Albion Match Thread........
 

Didn't see this run coming after Plymouth and Northampton games.

Absolutely brilliant.

Re: Burton Albion Match Thread........
 

Think the game summed up what Accrington Stanley is all about.
Passion,desire and commitment .
Obviously Coley had done his homework and played 3-5-2 to give us a extra man in midfield.
The first half was like an arm wrestle with both sides holding a high line and defences not willing to conceed ground.
The goal was a worldy by Windass with 25 yard daisy cutter and the keeper hardly moved.
After that we worked our socks off and pressed all over the field.
Make no mistake they are a class side with technically good players,but despite them throwing everything at us our keeper was rarely tested.
In the second half we struggled to hold the ball up and invited pressure,but stood firm.
For me Robs been out of sorts recently but tonight was back to his normal self,dean give beavon nothing all night and was eventually subbed and conneely was composed.
In fact everyone put a shift in and can't praise them enough
KTF

Re: Burton Albion Match Thread........
 

Agree with all of that

Re: Burton Albion Match Thread........
 

Fab match played with passion and never gave up! The ref was not qualified to ref. Hope reds can play like that every match, if u weren't one of the 919 then u missed a peach of a game: :)

Re: Burton Albion Match Thread........
 

why do we have this habit of getting the worst referee's in the world?

i have never known a season like it.

Re: Burton Albion Match Thread........
 

Did Gornell pick up a knock?

Re: Burton Albion Match Thread........
 

Think so Dav,he tried to run it off but was struggling,that shows you what desire we had as he was reluctant to come off
