Taken off blue & amber (shrews forum).... [B]Re: Accrington vs Shrewsbury Match Thread Nsiala was outstanding; I thought Collins started well but Nsiala got the better of him and he won nothing in the 2nd half. The draw was fair but we'd have lost in the 2nd half but for Neal - easily our man of the match. Felt a bit flat at the end but that was because I thought we were going to close the gap on Swindon. A good point in the end and we're another step closer.

Was my first visit to Accrington and I loved it. Very friendly & generous club - the PA announcer saying we'd have a lap of honour if we went up (I know they wanted to keep people off the pitch but how many clubs would offer that on their own patch? Most would just warn fans to keep off.) and offering the consolation at the end that we only needed another point.

It struck me that in many ways Accrington represent a lot of the best aspects of lower league football but, in another sense, much of what we're trying to leave behind. I wish them well anyway.

Made a great weekend of it up there and will do it again - though hopefully visiting Preston next season instead!
