Fleetwood thread

Great result, first half Fleetwood shaded, but never outplayed us, 2nd half was only one team wi the heart to go fer it, got exactly what we deserved.IMHO.

Can't argue with that. Probably the first time this season ( off what I get chance to watch ) I can honestly say Stanley deserved that.

Agree there Cashy... BUT the gloss was taken off for me by the attitude of some 'Fans' ( ? ) in the Main Stand who were actually booing the team in the first half...accompanied by the usual ' Get it up t'field'. When will they learn that a pass-back to the Goalkeeper is often the only one possible !, and not a negative move.
But to Boo players who were at the time holding Fleetwood's dangerous strikers so well, or at any time is worse than despicable, and unworthy of anyone calling themselves a Stanley fan !

Rant over !.....well done JB and his diamond geezers !....more of the same at Northampton on Saturday PLEASE !

 
Never saw that coming!!!
I disagree about Fleetwood,there by far the best team we've played IMHO.
They never let us settle for 70 minutes,and there team was full of pace.
Full marks to the coaching staff for altering our shape after half time,as we struggled with the 4-2-3-1 which they played.
Difference for me was we consistently held a high line and challenged them to get behind us.
The defence won,despite the quality of opposition,keeper never had to make a save of note.
Aldred was immense again and the others did there jobs.
On a side note,despite being out numbered for long periods,Joyce and murph showed what Acci is all about, enjoying the battle !!!
Well done lads
 
To answer the question in my first post on this thread the Cod Army were floundering open mouthed at 9.35 but not at the brilliance of Stanley's football, as we have played better and lost! Having said that we made Fleetwood look pretty ordinary with a combination of outstanding defending, constant pressure on the ball and some incisive attacking play. A great substitution of Webber for Bowerman, who hadn't really had a lot of joy tonight, did the trick and he gave their defence plenty to think about, kept his cool and hammered the penalty right down the middle. The Cod Army support were floating away with their tails between their gills well before the end as they knew they wouldn't repeat their get out of jail card trick against Stanley, unlike as they did on Saturday. A great night to savour and well done to JB and PS who seem to have given to the lads what Ian Wright famously once said of Arsene Wenger - "He gives us unbelievable belief"!
Joyce and Murphy once again astounded me with terrific performances!
 
Great performance and more than matched a very good side. They move the ball quickly, put pressure on the ball and we strong. Work rate throughout our team was impressive.

Hard pushed to call Man of the Match, as all 11 were up for it and played their parts. Winnard unlucky not to get it as kept Tyson, who is lightning quick and too good for this level, in good check.
 
With 16 mins to go I thought a draw would be a good result considering.

There were a few penalty shouts for stanley, the third given and more denied after. I'm not sure of the ones at the Clayton end but I expected the 2nd claim to be given for what looked like a block with an arm on the floor.

Not the best display by Stanley, but the effort was there to grind out a win against a better side who missed a few glorious chances.
 
Absolutely superb team performance tonight, everyone played their part in beating one of the better teams in the division. We are on a fantastic run and long may it continue!
 
Fleetwood fans moaning. God, what would they have been like if they had been in our position after our poor start to the season??

"Accrington had one thing tonight in abundance that we didn't have and that was HEART! When they scored their players were telling us to **** off, and good on them.

Last three games against three lower placed teams we have got 3 out of 9 points. Had enough, done want to see the **** we play anymore, the chairman can do what he wants, but for me Alexander can go, don't care, just delaying the inevitable now IMHO.

****E !!!!

Pretty,pretty, tip tapping about in the first half,
that gets us nowhere, and in the second half a
complete shambles and four Fleetwood players
arguing amongst themselves.

And Accrington Stanley have no money, they operate
on a shoestring,but what they do have and we seem to
lack is bags of bottle."

I don't care about what Johnny come lately Fleetwood fans think !!!

I saw enough tonight to suggest that if we keep the momentum going, we'll be nearer the play-offs than a relegation struggle.:D

I agree with F19......Fleetwood were the best side I've seen at the Crown / F.E.S. this season. They were at times a yard or so quicker, often quicker to the second ball. :(

But we are developing a never say die attitude, which often irks the opposition, who are struggling to live with it. We had it under Coleman and we're rapidly getting it under Beattie.:D

The self belief is coming together nicely. Another clean sheet tonight, although we did ride our luck at times.

I'd like to see us move the ball around a bit quicker and not want as long on the ball, think a little quicker and get shots away earlier, although that said, Rome wasn't built in a day, and little acorns lead to great oaks.

The foundations are now bedding in.... we now need a few more positive results for the positivity to maybe infiltrate the non believers of the apathetic Accringtonian public.........

Encouraging to see a few more in the home ends.....just a shame that we never seem to get the crowds that entertaining and winning football deserves.

Who knows how far we'd go with regular home gates of 2 or 2.5k+??:confused:

MoM must be a very hard call these days, which is only positive.:) No-one i think ,me included has mentioned the 2 performances by Liddle, since he came in!! the lad has been superb in my view.:)
 
Agree with previous post, Liddle has been brilliant in the 2 games since his return, gives us much more pace and mobility down the lhs.

IMO Winnard was MOM and for me has been one of the main factors in our great run, the bloke is simply immense, not the best on the ball but wow what a defender.

Special mention to Michael Richardson for last night, thought he did really well at right back.

Thought our front 2 were poor, especially Bowerman. i think on his debut his goal showed why JB gave him a chance, but since then he's maybe shown why he was without a club. Think big Kay may have a new strike partner Saturday.

Anyway enough of that, what a result, what a run of form, well done lads & bring on Northampton
 
Northampton will be really tough. Apparently they made Chesterfield look very poor last night, by being very physical and playing a pressing game.
