thanks lads - missed the fact that Bradford had missed their 5th. Hope the lads recover for Barnet / Wycombe games - must be knackered - good job we have a big squad.

WELL DONE STANLEY.

For once Cashy I agree with every word of that

no more to add except bloody brilliant!!

P.s. - when's the draw for 2nd round??

Must say Chapman came on, made the save of the match in extra time, fair play, he had a bit of a mare on sat, scored his penalty as well.

Great spirit from the lads.

Parish was having a dream debut - made some great saves before the sending off!

Great match played at a high tempo.
The personnel may change but the system doesn't and the new lads knew their jobs and everybody put a shift in.
Was impressed with Bradford and to be fair they missed four sitters,but you can't take away that Acci matched them in every department .
Pearson just edged MOM for me,but it could have been anybody.
Strange fact tho,of the 25 penalties taken,no keeper saved one,indeed they never laid a glove on one !!

Ecky thump! I also missed spotting the Bradford miss on live text and stopped following it when it went 5-4 (should have realised they were going first

, and couldn't understand why the live text didn't say we'd lost

- but then it had been so far behind).

So started reading this thread just now and couldn't understand why everyone was so happy!! Then someone actually mentioned the score - as I said, ecky thump!

The BBC coverage was pathetic. Whoever wrote "Bradford won 10 - 10" should be sacked immediately.

I reckon Bradford had about 5 or 6 near misses during the 90 minutes. Our win must be payback for that game a few years ago when were 2-0 up and they came back to win 2-3!

Jezzzz I'll tell u what-following STANLEY this last year is like living in heaven,(with a brief visit to hell at the end of last season.) Well done real blokes.

Kiwi John · 10-08-2016, 05:06

1900+ crowd !!! That must surely be a record for STANLEY in a first round LEAGUE cup tie?. Perhaps the apathy around Accrington is dieing???

Would like to think so Kiwi but there was a very large contingent from Bradford - I think maybe they outnumbered us, which of course made the victory even sweeter

I reckon once again we shot ourselves in the foot, the fact i went to the booth for a Bratford ticket on sat, to be told we have none, come back monday, which i did, but many live away, or work, not good practice in my view, wake up please.
