What a funny, familiar, forgotten feeling...to be walking off the Clayton End feeling happy!
Superb second half performance from the chaps...they ran rings round hapless Macc. Really hope that Clarke can score soon, as I'm sure that would boost his confidence and lead to more goals from him.
Very disappointing gate, but if we carry on playing like this, hopefully we can attract more waverers back to the FES.

It was lovely today seeing an accrington side play football on the deck (in the second half at least!!!)
Jaime Clarke is looking better and better, when he started to run the channels today Macc didn't have a clue what to do with him.
I also thought John Mullin ran the show today, nice and quietly, even unassuming at times, but the amount of tidying up and neat passing to get us going forward, enabled everyone else to relax and play their football.
Jimmy Ryan grew into the game after a nervous start, and by the time he scored was really enjoying himself on the right side of midfield.
The defense as a whole looked sharp, calm and in control for the majority, something that we haven't seen for a long time.
And then their was a little revalation, John Miles the footballer!!! Previously I have not been a fan of John, but today I found myself shouting encouragement and congratulatory comments in his direction, telling him how well he was playing. I finally saw a bit of what I think we all know he is capable of, and how effective he can be if he's switched on and in the game. Well done Milesy, good game lad!!!!
Well done to Kenny too, for being still awake and ready for action when we needed him towards the end of the game.
All in all a very satisfying performance at home in front of a smallish but very contented (for once!!!) audience. Keep 'em coming lads and we'll soon have more bums on seats (so to speak!!!).

Haha i knew that was coming!
Great Performance, Great Support And A Great Win!
2-0 TO THE STANLEY BOYSSSS!!!
anyone know who got mom? Got to agree not seen such good footy from stanley since bradford away last year. the speed of some of the passing was breathtaking at times and that seemed to come from keeping the ball on the deck. we even saw moves starting from a kenny throw to a defender.
Macc may have been poor....who knows??? but they could have been exceptional because they still would not have seen much of the ball in the second half. All round solid performance, Clarke scared the pants off the macc defenders once he found some space, mullin + mullin linked very well, ryan looked to be enjoying it and the defence did not get me worried once (except when rocky came on but he thankfully went into midfield). King has a wonderful first touch, but as said elsewhere my mom was Miles - (!) He showed up all over the pitch, delivered some great set pieces and PUT THE EFFORT IN for the full ninety - take a bow, sir! Maybe the loss of Craney has brought out the best in him (finally)
Wasn't in the least bit bothered about getting my prediction wrong - in fact i only just remembered about that

Jamie Clarke.
Would've given it to John Mullin or Peter Cavanagh myself but Jamie played well.
being marooned down south, this Accrington exile can only follow the bbc text commentary - was beginning to wonder if Eric is paying a 'shots on target' bonus.
Thank you all for giving your personal experience of the game - am I right to be getting enthused about my first 'live' game at Gillingham ?

Brill performance can anyone remember the last time we won so meany corners in one game,very good team performance alround,Don't know what JC said to the lads at half time but it worked atreat,i know its early stages yet but if we can maintain this form then you never no what might happen,must say clayton end load and proud
The next step, surely, is to phase out the long ball out to Mullin. It hasn't worked since Lutel was here and if it wasn't for our second half form we wouldn't have got the points. Let's get that second half form spread over 90 minutes and finally move on tactically.
WELL DONE COLEY AND BELL( AND OF COURSE ALL THE BOYS)!!!
If yesterdays performance doesn't get bums on seats then I don't know what will Ok the first half was a bit tentative but the half time team talk was trully inspirational the second half for me was one of the best halves of football I have seen anywhere you can't beat attacking football and of course it also helps when the back four are as solid as they were yesterday!!
Clarke and Mullin superb!! John miles he had three shredded wheat for breakfast a superb performance all of us should be proud of.
Some excellent signings and some promising younger players like Bell, Turner and Grant the futures looking bright and I may have retired from Moaning!!

Does this mean you're going to stop saying things like "when is somebody going to sack this clown?"
I forecast a further improvement for this season.
After the performances at Wolves, Port Vale and in the second half yesterday I am starting to think something even more exciting may be in the offing.
