Stick yer Yorkshire Puddings (aka Barnsley match)
 

Decent first half but very few chances.
Finley having a great game.
We will struggle to get a goal I fear, although Clark looks a threat.
Zanzala lively but being well handled by their defence. Is Charman on the bench?

Re: Stick yer Yorkshire Puddings (aka Barnsley match)
 

Thought today our distribution let us down big time.

Re: Stick yer Yorkshire Puddings (aka Barnsley match)
 

Bugga..Had to sleep through this effort, big golf game today, but am disappointed to see the scoreline. I look forward to reading other members views on the match, and as the thread title suggests, I will ask my better half to refrain from presenting a certain 'pudding' with tonights Sunday roast .

Re: Stick yer Yorkshire Puddings (aka Barnsley match)
 

First half I thought fairly even. We where strong first few minutes. Second half we huffed and puffed but didn't really lay a glove on them. Ran out of ideas I feel. We weren't able to break them down and on the occasions we did they bought are lads down and took the yellow card. Fairly play to barnsley, bought plenty of fans to fill our coffers. The team are a good side, physically and good at game management (the dark arts, rolling around when fouled and seeing the game out when down to 10 men). Annoys us but that not there problem. Lots of endeavour but no many stood out for us today. Jordan Clark made some good mazy runs. I am still pinching myself to see Livingstone road full of coaches, 4800 on for a Saturday league game in November! This is part of the great experience of being in the third division of English football.

Regards distribution, we where put under pressure and some of the lads seem to rush there passes/balls Ripley had a few bad goal kicks to boot.

Re: Stick yer Yorkshire Puddings (aka Barnsley match)
 

To be honest we didn't play that badly at all, but if distribution is poor against a good side then yer likely to get punished, as for Barnsleys Dark arts, i would be embarrassed if we resorted to the tactics they did towards the latter end of the game, Think J.Cs summary is pretty good.

Re: Stick yer Yorkshire Puddings (aka Barnsley match)
 

Have to agree speedy Zanzalis was being man handled by their defence but did get a free kick OUTSIDE the box after a fair tackle, but nothing given for a two handed shove in the back that was inside the box. Seeing the game out (time wasting) thought Barnsley did this very well with the help of a weak Ref and the Fans in the E W stand. All in all not a good result but it did show how far we have come.

P.S. we never play well against 10

Re: Stick yer Yorkshire Puddings (aka Barnsley match)
 

The 2 handed shove in the box was ridiculously ignored by the ref who had a clear view only 8-10 ft away.

Re: Stick yer Yorkshire Puddings (aka Barnsley match)
 

Have to agree with you ferret man - going back to non league days we always seem to be unable manage when opponents change their game plan when they have been reduced to 10.

Re: Stick yer Yorkshire Puddings (aka Barnsley match)
 

The only disappointment for me was that we goofed it forwards when we had a mannadvantage. Apart from that we matched a good team.
Don’t agree about Barnsley. They wasted time but no more than everyone else does. I didn’t think the Zanzala incident was a penalty either.

I’m amazed no one else has mentioned Finley’s performance. I thought it was astonishing for 70 mins. Massive work rate, great tackling and positional play, superb passing and movement forward. A complete joy to watchZ

Re: Stick yer Yorkshire Puddings (aka Barnsley match)
 

We thought Finley @ Clarky were the best 2 of our players by a mile.

Re: Stick yer Yorkshire Puddings (aka Barnsley match)
 

Let’s get things into perpective. Barnsley will be out of this league at the end of the season. In fact I think they’ll win it.
Made a conscious decision to fight hard to keep their prized assets and when one had to go (Bradshaw) reinvested immediately in Watmore.
Fantastic recruitment policy they have.
So in reality we were up against a Championship set up.
One of their player alone earns 125% of what our squad earns.
I don’t understand why anyone would criticise their time wasting / game management.
We have the ultimate in Billy when the need arises.
Not a result to worry about - decent performance.

Re: Stick yer Yorkshire Puddings (aka Barnsley match)
 

Sorry, but if you don't understand about their time wasting tactics then imo you don't understand about fair football tactics! Their goalie alone must've wasted god knows how much time on his goal kicks!!!

Re: Stick yer Yorkshire Puddings (aka Barnsley match)
 

So you’ve never seen Billy or Sean up to no good ??? Come on even Coley admitted it.
If we’re in front at Barnsley and down to ten men what would you expect of us ?
We’re not called Corinthians.
Everybody bends the rules ...... how far depends on the ref.

Re: Stick yer Yorkshire Puddings (aka Barnsley match)
 

Did you go to Oxford ? Have a think about the last 10 minutes.

Re: Stick yer Yorkshire Puddings (aka Barnsley match)
 

What irony! The Barnsley Pals who fought alongside the Accrington Pals on that fateful day we recently remembered.
Today our former brothers-in-arms paid us a visit, but this was no Pals reunion.
Combat was shoulder-to-shoulder, but this time it was our erstwhile pals using the strong arm tactics.
Should we complain? The answer must be NO!
Yes! Barnsley were cynical & experts at gamesmanship. But they were also bigger, faster & more skilful than our boys.
As 28 previously alluded, they looked & played like a Championship team in waiting.
Even being reduced to 10 men made absolutely no difference to their dominance. We never looked close to actually scoring.
Before the game I thought they might prove too good for us, but hoped for an honourable draw.
So am i disappointed? Not a bit!
Today was a privelige to witness a hard, no-nonsense game of football against a side destined for promotion in front of a capacity crowd.
We can't have any complaints - the best team won.

Re: Stick yer Yorkshire Puddings (aka Barnsley match)
 

think it was more to do with them than our play. they seemed to have someone close to all our players throught the game and even when they went down to 10 it didn,t seem to be much different. all in all it was a better performance than the cup borefest against colchester and 2 nil flattered em a bit at the end.

a better player conner hall was and should have been brought on earlier for me.

Re: Stick yer Yorkshire Puddings (aka Barnsley match)
 

2 good saves from their keeper early on but same old story for me we let teams wriggle of the hook because we aren't clinical enough in front of goal they hadn't tested Ripley at all till we gave the ball away with our defenders caught going forward 2 quick passes and a clinical finish turned the game for me but we competed against probably the best side in this division we have come a long way just a mention thought Finley and Johnson were outstanding.

Re: Stick yer Yorkshire Puddings (aka Barnsley match)
 

Those of you who’ve been watching Stanley for far longer than I have should have a read of what the Barnsley fans are saying on Twitter and their fans forum.
You’d burst with pride.

Andy Holt - what an ambassador for the town that bloke is.

Re: Stick yer Yorkshire Puddings (aka Barnsley match)
 

Thanks for that m'lord it's great to realize that we are no longer looked on as a comic setup

Re: Stick yer Yorkshire Puddings (aka Barnsley match)
 

Had a good read of yon forum this morning, was well pleased.;)

Re: Stick yer Yorkshire Puddings (aka Barnsley match)
 

That forum makes you proud to be an Accy fan! I think it will be pretty much the same when Sunderland visit as well, i know my former Brother in law is coming down and I will be having a pint or two with him near the ground. No longer "Tinpot" but admired by many from Barnsley, well done to all concerned yesterday, regardless of the result.

Re: Stick yer Yorkshire Puddings (aka Barnsley match)
 

In fairness Barnsley were the best side on the day. imho. had me teeth gritted when i wrote that, lol

Re: Stick yer Yorkshire Puddings (aka Barnsley match)
 

Evening everyone. Just thought I'd add my two penneth as a Barnsley fan.

I first visited as a ground hopper a few seasons ago, sat in your main stand and once our accent had been sussed, made very welcome. It was cold, and a fairly tame 1-1 draw with Yeovil, but the visit left a lasting impression.

When I had a walk behind the home terrace, I was impressed with the fan zone, and it gave the impression of a club really in touch with its fan base.

It was obvious yesterday that you had raised the bar since that first visit. Division higher and catering for larger numbers. New stand on the far side, and extended the away terrace. Plenty of places to get a drink and something to eat. Toilets temporary but I'm sure that's all in hand.

You should indeed be very proud of what you've achieved!

Just a few points about the game. The "dark arts" thing is something we all accuse other clubs of when we're losing, and we all think we're a bit honest compared to other clubs, but in reality we all do it when it suits us.

I was a bit surprised at Colemans summing up, but I don't really need to elaborate, as quite a few of you have disagreed with him already. [emoji5]

My Accrington supporting mate (is that you AndyD?), said you were struggling in the final third prior to the match, and that proved to be the case for both of us for the most part on the day. We only really had the goal and a shot saved from the angle from Cavare in the first half and you the early shot and deflected cross.

I don't think there really was a "better team for 65 minutes". It was pretty even and we both pressed mistakes out of each other and traded possession.

With a man short, some of our previous managers would have shut up shop, but we don't mind playing on the break so a stretched game suits us better than playing against 10.

I hear the Sunderland fans weren't as friendly when your SLO posted on their forum.

Most Barnsley fans aren't up our own arses. We're seen as a bit of a laughing stock and often condescended to by some clubs have been elevated by buying a bit of success.

We are one of the "the likes of" clubs, when actually were really not. We've actually spend a large chunk of our history in the 2nd tier.

Hard to lose that tag though. More so for you, cos you've got your own advert! Lol

Here! Here! M'lud.
What a change from the ridicule heaped on us by visiting fans during our early league days
All thanks to a great chairman who has transformed the matchday experience for both home & away fans.
Glad to read that, after 102 years, Barnsley & Accrington are still PALS!

Just goes to show how far we've come when we're no longer seen as "tinpot".

Re: Stick yer Yorkshire Puddings (aka Barnsley match)
 

Not that it matters now but there's even a thread on there suggesting that their second goal was offside!

There's a link to highlights here:

Aye, someone should post the link on Luton's forum :D

Many thanks for posting the link Lord D.:mosher:

I had to miss the match on Saturday but reading the praise for our great little club and supporters on the Barnsley forum has gone a long way to make up for it.:jimbo:

Re: Stick yer Yorkshire Puddings (aka Barnsley match)
 

We may have very few fans, but they sure take some beating imho.

Re: Stick yer Yorkshire Puddings (aka Barnsley match)
 

But the numbers are going up.

Re: Stick yer Yorkshire Puddings (aka Barnsley match)
 

Think Accrington Stanley have many thousands of fans Cashy.
Trouble is, most of them don't even live in Accrington.

Re: Stick yer Yorkshire Puddings (aka Barnsley match)
 

i really think the majority do live in accrington. out of 2000 there will be exiles plus others like myself but we are in a minority like most other clubs apart from glory hunting premier league half and half scarf brigade who change their clubs whoever is the most successful.

Re: Stick yer Yorkshire Puddings (aka Barnsley match)
 

Most of the older fans left Stanley to rot in in 70s and 80s - there are different levels of glory hunting.

Re: Stick yer Yorkshire Puddings (aka Barnsley match)
 

Think you missed my point there MH, which was that throughout Britain - nay the world, there are thousands of footie fans who have a soft spot for Stanley.
Wherever you travel, if the subject of football arises, strangers will usually respond positively once they know you're a Stanley fan.
Most wish us only success & follow our results with interest.
You only need to read the Barnsley forum to appreciate how other fans love our little club.
So yes! We have thousands of fans - even if they don't attend every game.

Re: Stick yer Yorkshire Puddings (aka Barnsley match)
 

Thats not correct, the older uns like me left in 62 cos accrington didn't have a club.:rolleyes:sod all to do with glory hunting. you really are a sad get.

Re: Stick yer Yorkshire Puddings (aka Barnsley match)
 

cannot blame em really as they would have mostly gone to watch league football at another club after stanleys resignation from the league. if the same happened again i would be off too as the choice of watching say north west counties football has no interest for me. if i was a glory hunter of any description i would never have supported hartlepool or stanley when i moved back up north in 2009.

Re: Stick yer Yorkshire Puddings (aka Barnsley match)
 

As an "older fan" who carried on watching Stanley in the 60's, 70's, 80's etc, I LOVE so-called "glory hunters". I just see them as prodigal sons (and daughters) who have seen the error of their ways and are now returning home, where they belong. The more "glory hunters" the better! :D

Answering your own question over a week later - bored are we? Sorry, didn't realise you wanted an answer, thought it was a rhetorical question :)

P.s. No, I didn't go to the Oxford game

Re: Stick yer Yorkshire Puddings (aka Barnsley match)
 

There was debate you made your opinion clear about fair play and I simply pointed out that our team is just as bad - well bad isn’t the right word.
Gamesmanship exists.
