vs Stockport County

Why do we let in goals right on halftime?????????????????????
Let the last word ever spoken be 'Why'.
We did it last week too against Barnet John - just five minutes after we had scored !
At least Boston are 3-0 down at home to Shrewsbury, but we could do with Peterborough equalising against Macclesfield (they are 2-1 down at the moment).
I think we were playing 3-5-2 in the first half, but it was more like 5-3-2 in reality, as we had full-backs as wing-halves.
If we'd have played all night we'd never have scored. I'm not knocking the players as I think they gave all they had. The thing is, yet again, it's not enough. Stockport were well organised, but they weren't great. However, they were bigger, stronger and fitter than our lads. Probably on 3 times more money too, but fair enough.
Very good turn out from the visiting fans too. Must have made up half the crowd (3004).
I think we put out a team that looked for the draw. 
I just think today our boys were a bit too strong for yours.
Boco is a good little player. Good touch and a turn of pace.
The goalkeeper looks a good player aswell.
I know its about our manager, but when Jimbo ran all the way down the touchline to shake Boco's hand at the end of the game (then all of your other players, but Boco was walking off the quickest) showed what a true gentleman he is!

Oh Well !
It was a great atmosphere.
Horrible way to lose it, I`m sure you Stockport boys wont be entirely satisfied that the only way you won was a lucky break away goal after a period of serious Stanley pressure.
Could have been 2 a piece really and that might of rewarded the excellent turnout.
Well done County fans for the best visiting support I`ve seen this season.
Brilliant to see both sets of colours flying so proud. Come Again.
It is true ! Podgers is a lazy fat ya Kna and cant be bothered to run for anything I lost count of how many times someone had to go and sort it out for him.
Almeida look pretty solid though, cant say I remember him doing much wrong. Keeper is good but cant kick so why not roll it out (just once for a laugh) Boco improving, Leighton McGivern running up and down happily before the game. Couldn`t understand when Coley said Monday Welch was one of his Free Kick men that he never took the field when there were 2 Free kicks in the 2nd half in carbon copy position to the Mansfield beuty.
Squandered into the wall.
Defence looked better and when Stanley had the ball on the ground passing it a round they enjoyed good spells of possesion and pressure, but they didn`t do it enough. Face it the whole team looked like midgets compared to them big ugly thingummies best of our play was neat and quick, that`s how we need to play the whole time. Stockport were fit they ARE a good team but it was only a lucky break that got them the points, think Stanley were well worth the draw and positives can be taken and Stanley will steadily improve, the players will start to gel and a couple more will return from injury.
The Ref was a muppett who seemed to think the ball entering the same quarter of the pitch as Paul Mullin was time to blow for a foul, but be fair to him he didn`t just restrict it to Mullers. Cowshed Liner was great at spotting the offsides though (which our defense played much better,)although he liked to wait to see if they could score before putting the flag up.
All in all it was a great day out (Sunglasses weather as well
) shame there wasn`t a few more from accy. Ultras were doing a great job and from the middle of that row I could hear a lot of noise from other areas so well done everyone on the vocals.
Cart On Stanley !!!

The way I saw it(rosy tinted specs alert )
Atmosphere was a bit poor, due to the lack of roof and the way the County support were spread so the singers were in different groups. Plus the referee stoppin the game every 36 seconds!
We were poor, but probably did enough to win! You were far from great, but have probably got more than enough to stay up! The referee was utter, utter, utter ****E! I can't remember being so cross with an official after the game when we'd won! Normally you'll forgive a ref being so bad if your going away with a win, but that guy was shocking!
BTW your capacity is given as 5,057 so there is room for another 2,053
!? I take it some of them would be sat on the roof?
Also, I am never getting the train to Accrington again! A 40 min drive, but it took over 3 hours to get home! Still I got to spend nearly an hour in Blackburn
!?
Anyway good luck! Didn't speak to enough of your lot, but you seem a decent bunch! Poper town, Proper football ground rather have your place than Dalekton any day of the week!

Good set of fans from Stockport yesterday, didn't see or hear of any trouble and every Stockport fan I spoke to had good words to say about us. Would especially like to thank the Stockport fans in the bar after the game who stood up and applauded when Loweiy was giving his Churchill speech.
Nice to see the away end properly full and with a bit of colour from their flags as well. Good effort from our lads but not our best singing moments by end stretch of the imagination. Listening to the Stockport fans noise could have been so much better if they had all sung the same song at the same time! At one point they had threee different songs being sung and all were audible, says something about the strenght in depth though that they can carry three different songs.
It was a shame the referee wanted to be the star of the show - the stop start nature did absolutely nothing to maintain any atmosphere. But yet again he was crap for both teams not least of all Robbie Williams blatantly controlled with his hand in the area with 15 minutes to go.
As far as the Stanley performance went I thought we played some absolutely blinding football for good spells, but we seem to have lost the ability to penetrate. Some good lead up play but not really testing the keeper. Rommy Boco's touch is fantastic and he looks like he is back to his best now.
Tony Grant - how much time can one man have on the ball? Even in the penalty area he seems to find time to put his foot on the ball, change direction and pass it out, class. The Keeper - getting better and more confident every game, but looks really laid back with his kicking. Never seems to meet a back pass and thats why his kicking is poor. Needs to run out to it some times rather than waiting for it to come to him. Mauro - looks strong and wasn't muscled off the ball once. Couple of mis understandings with the defence around him but was covering for Rogers quite a bit. Also thinks he can let the ball bounce before he deals with it and nearly suffered as a result. Will learn the pace of the game quickly though.
Phil Edwards - MOM performance and rightly so. Good time fo rhim to pick up a MOM with Cav about to be declared fit. Can the Captain get his place back?
Good drinking to be had in the Oaklea later on, sharing a few drinks with Fred Pirrie who played for the Galbraith era in the fifties. Sharing tales of Eric Whalley and Bryan Douglas at the dog tracks and doing National Service with Bobby Charlton and Duncan Edwards. Its nice to speak to these guys and the fact that he has lived around the corner from the ground all these years amazes me. Also spotted was Stuart Fleetwood having dinner with his mum. Big up to the Fleetwoods, nice people with friendly words and I wish Stuart all the best for the future.

To be fair I thought County were worth the win. I wouldn't call it a lucky break for the goal either, we took the chance well and its not our fault you committed 8 men forward for a throw in leaving 4 on 1 for the goal.
Accrington came back into the game well in the second half but our keeper was never really tested, but it could have easily been 2-0 or 3-0 at half time had we taken our chances.
However the battling spirit Accrington showed, I believe, will keep them up.

Again, after a defeat, not a lot of comment. However, I might as well give my two penn'orth. Really and truly I felt Stockport won it at a canter, apart from a 20 minute spell early in the second half. The starting line-up was puzzling to say the least, unless you consider that the shake-up is mainly to accommodate Alan Podgers - and I have to ask, is it worth it? Having said that, we never looked like scoring, even when we went back to a more familiar format in the second half. Is it predictable or what?.. Long ball in the air to Mullin who wins it sometimes. When he does, he heads it to one of the opposition and... surprise, surprise, we're under pressure again. I know I'll be slated on here, but I'm really starting to worry about Paul, especially as his presence seems to dictate the tactics. Good displays yesterday from Phil, Rommy, Rocky and, to some degree, Almeida (Oh yes, and the keeper!). Very disappointed with the rest. I haven't seen the statistics, but just how many shots did we have on target? Still, heads up, and let's look for better things at Darlo on Tuesday.
were you ****ed or something your having a laugh blinding football i dont think so blinding rubbish more like it totaly out classed was it when they made about 10 passes in midfield thats cause stockport let them its about tactics something we havent got did you see a shot on target no i never either before i get negative karma this is not a personal attack cause i think youve done brilliant with the supporters club its a bout time everybody gets their head out of the sand cause thers something not right at stanley no passion no tactics no nouse nothin
I agree with the last post.
I think for all the passing about in midfield you did, I counted just one shot from inside the penalty area, and that was from 15 yards.
We seemed quite contempt to let you knock it about in midfield, knowing you would have to find a killer pass - and it didn't seem you had the creativity in midfield to do that.
