[Lord Stiffupperlip]

Great battling performance from our boys yesterday, to match Tuesday night's at Mansfield.
Seems the world & his brother are determined to see the end of our little club this season - well they can go whistle!
To use an overused cliché, this was a game of two halves!
2-0 up & looking more than comfortable, thanks to our rock solid back four of Pearson, Hughes, Beckles & Rodgers, the whole dynamic of the game was changed by the rash 'red card' decision of the referee. Beckles was a mere fraction late with his attempt to recover the ball but the tackle was without any malice, nor a deliberate attempt to foul the opponent.
With a man advantage, the U's upped their game in the second half and it became a 'backs to the wall' effort by our ten men, although we did manage some effective attacks by hitting them on the break.
I have no doubt that, had we not been reduced to ten men, we would have inflicted a damn good thrashing to those Essex boys.
I'm sure there are teams, managers & officials who would love to see the back of Accrington Stanley as a league club.
Well I've news for them, so long as Matty Pearson plays for us, they're wishes will only ever be a pipedream.
