Re: Bradford Thread
 

I guess Putterill has an ankle injury ?

Re: Bradford Thread
 

He limped out of training earlier this week aye...

Only minor though I believe

Re: Bradford Thread
 

He injured it playing for the reserves, when he came off he said 'My flipping ankle is killing me' or words similar to that :)

Re: Bradford Thread
 

Shrews won 2-0 :(

Re: Bradford Thread
 

The teams are out...

And we're off. Stanley kicking towards the Clayton End

Re: Bradford Thread
 

James Hanson fires an early effort over for the visitors

Re: Bradford Thread
 

How Do Dan; have a great afternoon. On, Stanley On! Come On Stanley Boys......

Re: Bradford Thread
 

6: good spell of Stanley pressure ends in Craney shooting over the bar

Re: Bradford Thread
 

8: 1-0 stanley - luke joyce!!!

Re: Bradford Thread
 

Curled into the top corner from the edge of the box - his first since December 2009!

Re: Bradford Thread
 

Cheers Dan :)

Re: Bradford Thread
 

Go on Luke.....Well done Stanley keep them coming..

Re: Bradford Thread
 

One little girl in the front row will be very happy :)

Re: Bradford Thread
 

hows the sell out crowd sounding Dan?

Re: Bradford Thread
 

15: 2-0 PROCTER - superb goal

Re: Bradford Thread
 

Gills 1 down :)

Re: Bradford Thread
 

Gornell laid it off to the skipper, and he drilled it in. Another cracker from Proc!

Re: Bradford Thread
 

Macca, therein lies a problem. Due to the large amount of press at this game (20 in 12 seats!!!!) I'm behind the glass behind the press seats. Having said that, the Ultras are still noisy!

Re: Bradford Thread
 

:D Yes... love it and the Dingles have pulled one back....:D

Re: Bradford Thread
 

Afternoon all, come on you mighty Reds.

Re: Bradford Thread
 

Stockport 1 up at Port Vale :)

Re: Bradford Thread
 

You've just reminded Macca he went to the zoo yesterday :D:p

Re: Bradford Thread
 

33: Craney surges forward, exchanges passes with McConville and fires just wide.

Re: Bradford Thread
 

Gills level.

Re: Bradford Thread
 

35: great one handed save from Cisak to deny Lewis Hunt

Re: Bradford Thread
 

:mad:





anyway. Come On YOUUUUUUUU RREEEEEEEDDDDDDDDDDSSSSSSSS.

Re: Bradford Thread
 

3-0 - McConville!!!

Re: Bradford Thread
 

Yes come on Stanley, lets have Seven......

Re: Bradford Thread
 

Ryan's long throw into the box, flicked at the front post by a Bradford player and seized upon from close range by McConville

Re: Bradford Thread
 

yippppeeee!


as it stands we have +1 goal difference on Gills, if as expected they go on to beat Barnet then they'll have matched or bettered our goals, we need to batter a team that are surely there for the taking

Re: Bradford Thread
 

HT 3-0 - boos from the visiting fans

Re: Bradford Thread
 

and a huge win would do the confidence the world of good going into the Shrewsbury game. Doug's being a bit pessimistic for my liking!

Re: Bradford Thread
 

great stuff - gives a springboard to goaldiff credibility & Coley a chance to utilising the squad with Monday in mind - by the way what is Wynn's forecast this week ?!
Barnet just retaken lead at Gills.
Going up, going up, going uuuppppp !

Re: Bradford Thread
 

Time to rest key players in the second half me thinks, with the huge game coming up.

Re: Bradford Thread
 

I'm not pessimistic; I've only had three Buds.

Re: Bradford Thread
 

Half time round up - ASFC News Story > 4043

Re: Bradford Thread
 

and also from a typically Accy Web negative point of view, as it stands we could in theory afford to lose both of our next two games and still go into the last game of the season with a possibility of play offs (a win and others dropping points). So for the first time in modern history we go to the last game of the season with something to play for.


Sir Coley and Sir Bell.

4 Wycombe v43 13 71
5 Accrington 43 16 68
6 Torquay 43 23 66

as it stands

Re: Bradford Thread
 

Half time Bradford change - Steve Williams off and Lee Bullock on

Re: Bradford Thread
 

We're back and off again

Re: Bradford Thread
 

Bright start to the second half for Bradford - I suspect their dressing room was a pretty angry at half time!!!

Re: Bradford Thread
 

Stanley change - Barnett on for Craney

Re: Bradford Thread
 

i really hope that we can put at least another goal in. We need to start making our domination count for goal difference.

Re: Bradford Thread
 

Amen to that......Come on Stanley. :)

Re: Bradford Thread
 

Don't put the mockers on things MCR Adim:eek::mad::eek:

Re: Bradford Thread
 

Coley resting key players before mondays game

Re: Bradford Thread

Re: Bradford Thread
 

You've got a ****ty Ref today Dave.......:D

Re: Bradford Thread
 

I don't listen Doug, bad for the nerves :)

Re: Bradford Thread
 

2 - 2 rebound from a Pen. Good Luck. :)

Re: Bradford Thread
 

2,000 Stanley fans. Have a word with the Pope and see if he can make it Easter Saturday every week :)

Re: Bradford Thread
 

2000 home fans, thats good,

Re: Bradford Thread
 

68: McConville shoots wide when put through one on one

Re: Bradford Thread
 

Better stock up with red & claret in the next few weeks :D

Re: Bradford Thread

Re: Bradford Thread
 

Barnet 4.....Oh joy. Come On Stanley!

Re: Bradford Thread
 

I like teams that score 4 :)

Re: Bradford Thread
 

Got to go to work; sod it. Good afternoon all round Dave.

Re: Bradford Thread
 

82: Ryan off, Boulding on

Re: Bradford Thread

Re: Bradford Thread
 

It certainly is Doug, I'm just about to knock off work :)

Re: Bradford Thread
 

3 minutes added

Re: Bradford Thread
 

Full time 3-0

Re: Bradford Thread
 

and Port Vale losing to Stockport again! what a round of results this has been and we are now firmly in with more than a chance

Re: Bradford Thread
 

gerrin there Reds. Belting result

Re: Bradford Thread
 

Fantastic. Onwards STANLEY Onwards..

Re: Bradford Thread
 

Great stuff Reds.

Gills got one back against Barnet. McLeod missed a pen which would have made it five.

Vale look to be out of it though now with defeat to Stockport

Re: Bradford Thread
 

I think because of the matches left for the others, one more win should be enough

Re: Bradford Thread
 

Oh what a lovely afternoon :D

Re: Bradford Thread
 

Cracking result! Oh, and lancsdave, I await a very excited 3yr old telling me all about Lukes goal lol.

Re: Bradford Thread
 

don't that table look pretty ? - in our own hands now - need to beat Shrews to have a chance of Autos.

Re: Bradford Thread
 

As well as a cracking result,overall was a very good display, Proccy MoM- fair enough, would not have been disappointed if it had gone to any of em.:) if stanley play this well i am gonna enjoy Mondays game as much.:):):):) the most pleasing thing to me was well though they played, stanley have played even better at times this season.

Match report - ASFC News Story > 4043

Re: Bradford Thread
 

Coley's reaction - ASFC News Story > 4045

Re: Bradford Thread
 

Well another home game, another 3 points. My word what a run we are on.

Another fantastic day at the ground.

Yet again the whole XI where fab, particularly in the first half.

Great to see Coley utilising all the subs aswell, with Rory, Lindfield and Barnett getting some more minutes under their belts.

Only thing that concerned me, and probably everybody else was the argy bargy with Deano & Jimmy.

On the positive side shows they have great determination especially as we where dominating the game leading 3-0.

No need for Mcconville to get involved opening his mouth either, hopefully Proccy will sort it out as its his job.

Other than that, perfect day.

Special mention for Cisak (again) and Joyce who I thought where brilliant.!


Roll on Shrewsbury on Monday, probably the biggest game since Woking away, in my opinion.

Re: Bradford Thread
 

Pretty much same as Smudgie in running out of superlatives to describe the team performances.

Hard to pick a MoM as they all played well once the first went in we settled and played our passing game with some raking passes from one side of the pitch to the other with some great interchanges of speed, movement & passing.

A special mention for Luke Joyce a well deserved and peach of a goal, the second was not bad either.

As a man great performances, hope the injury to Craney is just a knock?

Credit to the Bantams for giving it a go paticulary in the second half.

We were a little further to the left of the Clayton End and noticed what goes into the Community Trust activities for the kids and all credit to them it is building fantastically well and is something that I am sure will keep expanding and bringing in the next generation of fans.:alright:

Well done Matt & his Team keep up the Good Work:)

Re: Bradford Thread
 

As a part time visitor from another club I have been absolutely delighted seeing Stanley's recent form but was especially pleased that you have now reached 5th place with only 4 point separating you from automatic promotion.
I can only wish you all the best for the remaining games. It's a fantastic run you're on and I am very much hoping that you can secure promotion. Good luck Accy

Re: Bradford Thread
 

Nice One:)

Please keep spreading the word

One of the most pleasing aspects of all of this is people who are neutrals or a soft spot for a local team Accy in general the team are now getting the plaudits for what in a sense is as good as you will see on it's day at any other ground in the country and I don't say that through red tinted specs but through observations by other fans and my own observations of other teams.

Re: Bradford Thread
 

I am still scratching my head how a team like Bradford,which had pace,size and experience,were just brushed aside with such ease.
Accis play in patches looked like champions league not league 2, and i am beginning to think they just have no fear or nerves.
Cant single anyone out as they all did there jobs and more ( although Proccy was excellent).
The spat between Deano and Jimmy, shows the desire and determination which Coleman loves,both born winners,you wouldnt think they were 3-0 up lol

Re: Bradford Thread
 

What happened in the Clayton End? I saw the drummer arguing with some chap?

Re: Bradford Thread
 

'The drummer arguing with some chap'
While we need to promote the youngsters as our future life blood, there appears to be a group of ‘feral’ under 10s who have difficulty in following the game and draw pleasure from annoying those around them even to the extent of throwing sweets at Pigdley, Bradford’s goalkeeper. A lady spoke at length to one of them, much to his displeasure. I don’t know what he had actually done, but the drummer came down to intervene which brought about a difference of opinion between her partner and himself. There appears to be no one directly responsible of these children who sadly display resentment to any suggestion of curtailing their antics. Yes, I am a grumpy old man.

Re: Bradford Thread
 

Good point well made mate.

Whilst we need to encourage the next generation of stanley fans, there has to be some sort of control as every game seems to bring more and more poor behaviour from that small group directly behind the goals.

Re: Bradford Thread
 

Fantastic result Mom for me Luke Joyce. Hope we can win the next one and go up automatically.

Re: Bradford Thread
 

by my reckoning we can just pinch 3rd place wi a point at shrewsbury,on goal difference, if we get the win i think were home n dry.:alright:

Re: Bradford Thread
 

I don't think your grumpy at all! The Under 12's should only be the price it is when bought with an adult ticket otherwise we have these problems.

Re: Bradford Thread
 

Saw some Bradford kids being turned away by the Police and told to go home (not sure if Accy or Yorkshire Police).

As for the game, first half magnificent, second took the foot off the gas and still made it look easy. Thought the ref was one of the best we have ever had at Stanley. Fair play to the man, he didn't flash the yellow card around like confetti, in fact I think he only showed once to a Bradford player. A few stern talking toos, including Deano and Jimmy, but other than that, no dramas at all. Stunning save made by Australias number one GK. Commands confidence in the team. Lets hope we can keep him at the end of the season (especially if we gain promotion).
Taming of the Shrews next. Just hope Barnet don't travel next Saturday especially with the Grazioli feeling. Who's thinking the two to go down could well be Stockport and Northampton Town?

Re: Bradford Thread
 

From what ive seen of Stockport they are an appaling side, but look at yesterday they went and beat Vale away.

Id take a draw at Shrewsbury and im very confident of 3 points next Saturday :)
