vs QPR

Proud of Stanley tonight; Proud to be Stanley. On Stanley On. Lets see tonight's spirit fight on for the rest of the season.
 
Well done Stanley and Symes. Done better than most Championship sides will do against a full strength internationally talented QPR side owned by some of the richest men in the World. Let's see these performances in the League and we won't have our league position to worry about.

My other (Championship) team has crashed out at Port Vale by the same score that Stanley beat them home and away last season.
 
Well done lads. Tonight's performance was almost unrecognisable from saturday's. Luke Joyce was back in centre mid and looked infinitely more comfortable there, and Symes offered more movement up front, though he didn't maybe win as much in the air as mullin might have done. There were decent chances both ways first half including a ryan free kick that symes (?) nearly followed up, and it was certainly level pegging if not stanley ahead on points at the break.

QPR offered more in the second half with their sub Taarabt on, and stanley were on the back foot a bit more. We gave the ball away a little bit more than in the first half but were still very much at the races until they scored. Once the subs (grant & kee, and later turner) were on we created three or four half chances including a good snapshot from miles, but routledge settled it for QPR, notwithstanding a decent finish by symes for the consolation.

I thought symes and joyce were both very good, and turner looked dangerous when he came on. Peter Murphy did well in the first half though he wasn't quite as composed in the second. Jimmy Ryan came off because he was on a card and had been warned by the ref but it also looked like he had picked up a bit of a knock. Not sure about mcconville playing as part of a front two - he has some lovely touches but maybe not burly enough and would be better a bit wider?
 
"Stanley looked the better side in the first period and played some neat passing football, with the dangerous Symes unlucky not to score on more than one occasion.
Symes pulled one back for Stanley with just seconds left, firing low and hard into the net, and the away fans sang their team off the pitch knowing they deserved more."

Hope this means Symes gets a start on Saturday!
 
Against his old club Symes probably cant wait till Saturday!!!

Unfortunatly i could get to this game with not time off work available but would of been another great trip in a few days!! Looks like stanley put up a good account, very very proud!!!
 
better n i expected, please continue into sats game, wi symes. good perfomance by all accounts, well done.:)
 
brilliant effort from the team today and we really should have got more from the game. Some nice touches from the QPR fans after the game as many stayed behind once their team had left the pitch and applauded the Stanley support, even when we walked down the road after the game (still singing) the massed Rangers fans outside the home pub put down their pints to clap us and shake our hands. Big effort from everyone today and it was a pleasure to be there.

Yes, a very good performance from the team, loads of noise from our fans, and handshakes all around afterwards.

Well done Stanley :)

A good day out.
 
Cheers for that Rob.....I liked this post from Routledge for England:

"for those of you who didnt go last night please read,
WHAT A FANTASIC SIGHT THOSE ACCRINTON FANS WERE
they start of beating a drum then they all bounce up and down and release balloons never in fifty seasons of watching football have i seen fans like it
THEY WERE THE MEN OF THE MATCH LAST NIGHT IT WAS WORTH GOING TO THE GAME JUST TO WATCH THERE FANTASTIC FANS
we at qpr salute you your the best ever fans ever
I WAS STANDING NEXT TO QPR PETE AND I SAID IF ONLY WE COULD GET 500
AWAY FANS TO BE LIKE THAT
he agreed"


Legend.
 
Once again, I was immensely proud to be a Stanley supporter. The team were magnificent - it really was a team effort from Alan Martin, who did not stand a chance with either goal, to Michael Symes who was a real handful for the QPR defence.

QPR clearly upped their game in the second half after we had dominated the first half but we were always in with a chance until the last quarter of the game and even then, with QPR in the lead, an equaliser was not out of the question. At no stage were we outclassed or outplayed.

The Ultras were splendid throughout the match and before the start remained calm despite ludicrous "stewarding" when trying to place their flags.

Class video, a Police escort (1) lmao. Sounds like not only the team did us proud, but the fans as well. good on yer! wish I could have been there. Nice to see the comments and praises from QPR fans. to quote a certain Winston Churchill, "Never has so much, been owed to so many, by so few". Yes I know the official quote is slightly longer but I think it is apt in this case.
