Crewe Thread

Stanley fully deserved that win, whacking credit to C and B, 6 points from 6 against Wycombe and Crewe was way too much to ask but we have it.


Craneys goal, BANG. can't say much more but the only better goal he has scored for us was against Morecambe - and thats probably the only reason it was a better goal.

McConvilles goal, sorry lad I thought it was Gornell til you turned and showed the 11 shirt! Good composure, evaded 3 Crewe attempts at challenges and finished well - probably the goal of the game for me and up against Craneys' thats saying summat.

Gornell - not having seen much football this season, but having reaed plenty from our more 'educated' posters, I watched Gornell a little closer tonight. And I agree 100%, he was immense. Was nice to hear that he finally has a song of his own from the SU. Must admit I didnt like it when I read it on the Ultras site, but it sounded way better in reality.

Big performance again from the Reds, can we manage it again against Torquay? 9 from 9 would really put us back in the mix, but this is the 'easiest' of the three games!
 
I think Stanley can play when we play against the footballing side in the division

Which is what Crewe were, my only concern first half is we looked scared to have a pop at the target and were almost guilty of trying to walk it into the net and a few players looked nervous of having a shot?

Second half super stuff all three second half goals were quality finishes, we held firm and defended resolutely, inspired substitution to bring about Stanley's third.

I thought Luke Joyce did ever so well breaking the play up nicely and Hessey looks back to his self assured best, once again for me as others MOM Mr. Gornell amazing work rate only down side for Stanley is sometimes is lack of support from midfield getting onto the ball when he has it after a long ball forward but works tirelessly & adds much to the team.

A good game overall, three very good points against a good footballing side and some footy to watch.

A good night to be a Red:)

Well done Stanley.

With Michael Symes missing the penalty he won against my other side a good evening all in all.

Hope Springs eternal that they might be playing other in League 1 next season instead of League 2.

Not being negative or anything, but we'll be like Hereford if we go up unless Accrington Stanley en route to the Championship brings in an investor.

Only lost 4 of our last 16 games. Nice little run :D

Preston fan in peace here.

My auntie lives in Accrington so she decided she wanted to go on a game so I came along and went on the terraced stand (no idea what it's name is).

Great atmosphere from the start, and saw two great teams play good football on a bad surface. I got involved in the singing too and loved the Gornell chant. Craney scored a thunderbolt as well which was good. Liked Gornell and Ryan, two players who had class and who i'd definately want at Preston.

All in all I was impressed. Definately going to come on again another game.

He's got the Stanley Bug :) :)

Cracking win last night. Gornell, Barnett and Ryan were a different class.

Good well fought win. And well earned three points. A good game from Craney for a change. Hope he continues to put the effort in. Bring on Torquay.

And only lost 8 all season - only Chesterfield (4) doing better on that fromt. Wycombe, Shrewsbury, Bury and Torquay also L 8 - everyone else more.

We do tend to get a bit over-excited on here, but looking at the table and the fixtures does suggest most of the hardest games should be behind us - standfast away to Gills and Shrews. Having said that, of course we're quite likely to drop points at home to Barnet, Bradford, Burton, Hereford and Stockport - even though they're currently 5 of the bottom 6 :mad:

On Stanley On ... with cautious optimism on and off the pitch.
 
What I can't understand is why Coley insists in playing Craney.Take last nights game against Crewe, to the untrained eye it may have seemed that the way he evaded tackles and played the ball through to an unmarked Barnett [whose finish was brillant] was good play but to the trained eye the ball obviously just got caught in his studs and in trying to get the ball off it luckily went to Barnett. In the second half Craneys goal, to the trained eye, was obviously a mis**** cross/ come shot / backpass which trickled into the net, Craneys fitness level is 110% at the moment after having an enforced break due to the transfer saga so really should be scoring hattricks every game , this is why Coley must have brought him off last night knowing that he is 110% per cent fit and still mediocre.
