Re: halifax away

I am shopcked that no Accrington fans have admitted that, after a fairly even first half, we dominated the second. We piled on wave after wave of pressure and you didn't get back in the game until the last 10 minutes.

We deserved to win it but one last minute free-kick, one goal, and all our possession over the last 45 minutes means nothng. I was proud to be a Town fan today. Great crowd, great atmosphere (although never really heard you guys until your equalizer) and we dominated a game against top of the league opponents. We showed today that we deserve to be a top five team.

In fairness, I would admit that based purely on clear-cut chances then a draw was probably fair.

As for your number 3, he had already been booked when he pulled Grant back and that should have been a second booking. Also, we had a definite penalty appeal with the handball and cannot believe the ref didn't see it.

Sets it up well for next Monday. There will be a huge away following and we will create a good atmosphere. I'm certainly more confident about it after yesterday's game.

Finaly, as for Mr Prendergast, I don't like him. We are blessed with left wingers and I don't think Prendergast is the best we have. Apart from his left foot (his cross for our first goal was spot-on) I don't see what else he has going for him. In contrast, we have young Justin Bowler who is lightning quick, will run at defenders and scare the crap out of them and has a good left foot as well. Prendergast has no pace. Unless he has the ball wide near the left touchline in space he is useless. That's my opinion anyway. I didn't think much of him when he played for you last season and I still don't now.

See you all next Monday.
