Accrington Web - View Single Post - maybe a longest thread title ever for a todays match might inspire a first away goal?

spent the 1st half next to out dugout (before being asked to move at half time due to getting on my seat to celebrate the goal - stockport fans didnt appreciate it HAHA)

We controlled the game 1st half, they did have 1 very good chance which their striker managed to side foot wide of the post from 4 yards out; but other than that we should really have been 3 nil up. We missed some very good chances and their keeper made some good saves (did i mention the Jmmy Ryan thunderbolt on to the bar?).

Second half (now in our end),
they upped their tempo and pressed us more, their strikers dropped deeper and got involved, crowding the midfield. But we still looked the more likely.
Gornell was frustrating for me, yes he scored the tap in for the 2nd goal, but he was up against a poor centre half in Assoumani and should really have troubled him more.
Gornells movement wasnt that good either, I just thought he loked blunt (the opposite of sharp) and was still finding his feet. Im still to be convinced he is a 20 goal a season striker, but im sure JC will give him time to prove himself.
Lindfield, despite his finishing limitations would have been a better starting option IMO, we needed someone to get into those defenders.

A shame to settle for a draw, but it seemed inevitable when the 1st goal went it, stanley looked tired towards the end and our left flank was vunerable.

If we had a target man we would be contenders this season, I am sure JC is fully aware and is looking out for one, we are not far away.

But well done to JC and JB, some of our passing and ball retention last night was sublime, the stockport fans where amazed.
Give them contracts.
