A great result for the STANLEY today......
THREE more points closer to achieving THE IMPOSSIBLE DREAM of 'Little Old Accrington Stanley' achieving promotion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
York did not play badly today and I have seen worse teams than them at 'The WHAM Stadium' this season.
Although the first half was somewhat 'Edgy' we finished the half well by scoring the all important first goal!
York continued to cause us quite a few problems but like most teams battling against relegation the ball just did not run for them.
The 'ENERGY' which our boys showed was one of the main factors in the victory today. Not only when going forward with the ball but also when retreating.
Pierro as usual was harrassing back continuously as was Brad Halliday who played like a 'TIGER'! Bucko too was onto his opponents at every opportunity. Matty Pearson was up and down the pitch like a newly refurbished 'Gresley A4 Streamlined Pacific'!
Seamus was the ever reliable calming influence in midfield and in the second half he got into some excellent forward attacking positions. Billy worked tirelessly against tough opponents but he was immense once again. Billy showed his appreciation for the Clayton End support with his 'fist pumps' late in the second half.
Our two centre backs Hughes and Davies were always in control and Davies even had a couple of superb overlapping right wing runs too as did Pearson. Hughes was as cool at the back as Seamus was in midfield. Ross in goal had a sound game and made a couple of good saves when tested. He will be chuffed to have got another clean sheet. 3-0 does our goal difference a bit of good too!
Two goal hero Windass took a while to get going but he was motoring in the second half and looked very dangerous whenever he got the ball down and ran at York's defence. He was slightly greedy on a couple of occasions but that is a trait of a player who expects to 'Score' every time he approaches the opponents penalty box!

The big difference today was young Fosu who played like a 'WIZARD'!!!! His stepovers even had me confused at times so I can't imagine what it was like to be York's right back today. Fosu was BRILLIANT, and The Clayton End enjoyed singing their new chant for him!

When Shay came on he nearly broke through down the middle with one of his trade mark 'Mazy' runs.

I must pay credit to the York City players today as they continued to play in the right spirit. They tried to play with a creative game and they actually produced their best football when they were two goals down and for a spell they dictated play. I think it is a real shame for them to go down. I would rather Stevenage had gone down with The Daggers!!! Yes....... I do have a Northern bias!
I came off the ground today with a wonderful 'Banging Head Ache' and a 'Hoarse Throat' but I will certainly be having some celebration Ale tonight!

Well for us just two more matches to achieve the DREAM!!

ON STANLEY ON with Jimmy and John.
ONWARDS AND UPWARDS TO GLORY.
