Burton match thread
- Thread starter choirboy
- Start date
Any neutral watching today would without doubt have said Stanley were the side chasing promotion, Deserved to win that un no question, Burton were not at the races until we gifted em just before half time, in fairness there second 2 were good goals, We had a disallowed un which i thought very doubtful? also smashed one against crossbar. overall a great afternoon, wrong result imho.
Thank god we nicked a point from this poser

this is going down to the oxford game noooooooo
but we should have enough to see off york
but we should have enough to see off yorkAye, it was a sweet, sweet moment when the pig-ugly beggar spilt Lee's shot for Beattie to blast it past him after he had been taunting the Clayton End with his time wasting. Disagree with Dan when he says Rab had no chance with the free kick. We were right behind it and although struck with great power it went straight and true. A better goalie would have saved it. I can't blame him for their first goal though, which was down to Murphy being all at sea again. How he keeps his place is beyond me. His touch is atrocious and I'll be going to York fearing what he might mess up again if he gets a start, which I have a horrible feeling will be the case. Where would be without Lee Molyneux? If he's not blasting them in the net he is giving keepers nightmares with his cannon ball shooting.
my church minister rang me at final whistle to say we obviously know all about ressurection weekend up in Accy. Being of the same mature vintage as Cashy & Wynonie, I've been on the point for weeks now of asking if he could recomend a good monastery for lads of a nervous disposition !
Keep it short and sweet,the keeper cost us today.35 yards out,against the wind and it goes straight over his head!,not good enough.
The first,I would again look at the keeper,murphs cut the thro ball out,and is horrified to see the keeper on walkabout ,again,not good enough,if murph doesn't get it,the keeper defo wouldn't,
The team showed great character in coming back,and played/defended really well against the wind.
Settle for a point against a decent team.

Sorry Cashy, but was sat in the Main Stand level with that incident and Rachubka clearly shouted "keepers" but Murphy played the ball without even looking
Too many players were ball watching for their second equalizer and although sat at an angle to the free kick for their third, that to me looked like it went straight through Rachubka.
Do we have any idea if Hunt will be fit for Saturday??? If so Leam has to reinstate him as soon as he is. Murphy is a liability. His distribution is woeful. Gets the side in trouble with his decision making and is a weak link in the side.
Also I didn't see much wrong with our disallowed goal and would be interested to see the replays.
I had Ceefax on standby and kept flicking it on when it came up 2-1 to Stanley, I was over the moon, next thing it was 2-3
was ecstatic when it ended 3-3, one point is better than none.
Like you Jaysay, I was watching Sky Sports and was ecstatic at 2-1, but at 3-2 to Burton, well, I was screaming for someone in red to stick the ball in the onion bag and hey ho, James Beattie pops in a leveller. Then it was a case of blow the final whistle ref. Anyone of a nervous disposition should not support Accrington Stanley, however, what I would say is, in memory of Jack Barrett, lets keep this team as a football league team and honour the gentleman in some way at the ground or in Accy. Sad to hear of his passing, thoughts are with his family.
Already said, I think the main stand should be named after him.
We can't afford a statue, but that is the least we can do.

Not sure about the disallowed goal. A few on the Whinney hill side thought one of their defenders was playing him onside. But then again one or two thought he was offside.
Well my first two pence worth in a few games.
Agreed with what others have said re: defence, which looked a shambles throughout. No surprise we have conceded the second most goals in the league on that showing. Personally I think Murphy is usually quite steady, but no doubt he was very poor today, though I cant see really see any alternative at the moment with Hunt being injured and Eckersley seeming out of the picture. Rachubka again seemed unsure and looked all over the place which is surprising considering the level he has played at.
Going forward looked a different matter , Linganzi has been a great find along with Molyneux who was quiet by his standards, but really is on another planet compared to the rest on occasion. Great to see Hatfield getting more game time and scoring again, hate to say I told you so. Podge didnt do much and looked knackered after 45 which wasn't a surprise but fair play to him, he scored a wonderful goal. Welcome back podge.
All in all thought a draw was probably a fair result, and its what I would have settled for before the game.
Saturday in a word = MASSIVE !

I think if the league had offered Stanley 4 points out the 6 for Easter without playing they would have snapped their hands off.
Come on , Smudgie. I know you have posted many times that Lindfield isn't a full back, but I would take him every time against Murphy. Man of the match in several games at full back last season. He also easily offers much more going forward than our Jay Bell re-incarnation!
Sorry - disagree. I though Tom Aldred in particular had a great game. For me, he was Man of the Match.
