Bury Match

[smudgie]

What Redraine said.

Deja Vu from the Port Vale game, missed a sitter after 5 minutes then never in the game.

Ref didnt have a great game, but red card's where debatable.

Main difference was Ryan Lowe, 2 chances scored twice simple as that.

No doubt Bury will be up there come the end of the season but doesnt help when we seem to self distruct.

Biggest ever Stanley away following surely???

Just back,to be fair Bury had done their homework and totally dominated, but as said before if sean had put his boot through the ball for the early chance things may have been different, Ryan for me was again stanleys MOM even though he was double marked certainly in the first half.
As for Proccy,s sending off what a farce Mozika went down quicker than a lead balloon and basiclly conned the ref (can,t put what I really think due to forum constaints)
Over all a poor show from the reds today they just seemed to lack something going forward as for Bury IMHO they aint no world beaters and on another day the result could have been far different.
Highlight of the day was once again the ultras loud and proud no noise from Bury until they were three up **** poor support.

[Redash]

Today Bury battled for the ball, they gave us no space or time. They played their game well and fully deserved the win.
We were not in the game at all.
Procter's sending off offence, was amateur dramatics at it's best/worse.
A bloke stood behind me said straight red as soon as Bateson made his challenge, I didn't think it was bad at the time, but I think I was wrong.

[shakermaker]

Seems a fair summary by Coley on the fishy: ASFC News Story > 3615

Not sure what to say really it was all over a half time! I do feel sorry for procter because i don't think moz was caught enough to warrant his reaction but the second was a definite red card! but to be honest it was already over by then.
You will do well this season and good luck until we meet again in Jan or JPT (if you are allowed through)

[Pendle Red]

A rather inept dispaly by the Reds, Alan Knill had clearly done his homework with his team workmanlike and in your face breaking up most attacks before they even really started for Stanley.

Number 25 for the Shakers looked good but was allowed to dictate the game with the Stanley back four backing off allowing him time & space to create, whilst Ryan Lowe always looked capable of adding to his brace which was another tough examination for the Stanley defence who seemed slightly disjointed particulary in communication as I saw Dunbavin on more than one occassion having a go at the defence.

Bury in essence also did to Stanley what Stanley were doing to other teams earlier in the season by playing a high backline and moving the ball quickly, I thought today Stanley's best chance would have come with two genuine wide men giving Gornell something to feed off but once Jimmy went wide right in the second half the writing was already on the wall.

A tough game & some lessons to be learned for Stanley but they must look to bounce straight back against another one of the better teams in League Two with the visit of the Millers to the Crown next Saturday.

...what everybody else said about the match. Like Stanley Convert though, I've got to say what magnificent support. What other set of fans would still be singing just as loudly and just as passionately when they were 3-0 down? United? Arsenal? Liverpool? Not a chance!

And as for Bury fans, at home, in the play-off zone, 3-0 up and practically silent. What's up with you?

Depressed about the result and the performance, but proud to be a Red!

[carlmason]

Extremely pleased with our performance today and I think we really do have a team that can challenge right at the top of this league. Weve got strength in depth and some really quick exciting attacking players and a strong bench.

All the best for the rest of the season. We lost 3 0 at Crewe a few weeks back and bounced back so no reason why you cant do the same.

[Wynonie Harris]

Are your fans usually so quiet, Carl? Didn't hear a peep out of 'em until you were 3-0 up!

[football19]

Again i think redraine got it about right and acci were out muscled in midfield.
To me its obvious that teams are now working out how to play against Acci, and when you have to same line up for numerous games its easier to plan how to stop us playing.
The young lad on loan from united exposed hessey on numerous times with good movement and pace,indeed he was moved to left back in the second half.
One moan tho, when they got at our centre backs with long balls,i would get the fullbacks to play narrow and cover,the gaffer seems to like them to stay wide and mark the wingers and rely on the holding midfielders to make the headers (proccy),it didnt work today and edwards and hessey were exposed.
Its all about opinions and on the day Bury won the battle

[shillelagh]

managed to scrounge 3 season tickets from friends and we went ..

First and foremost can I say thanks to Colmeister for driving down with myself, Fantastic to catch up with some of you lot despite the fact that I no longer live in Accrington. Namely Macca, Pendle Red, Simon, Smiffy and Boggles. Winnard looked shocking today within the first ten minutes, hence why he was allowed so much time on the ball. Hoofing didnt work today as it never does, just looks scrappy. Ryan and Gornell looked fantastic even in the lackluster team today. McConville showed his lack of strength and after the big chance was hardly heard of. Turner looked promising at times when he came on. Reflection is 7 goals in 2 games, defensive slip of late, and still no win in the league away from home.

P.S - 3-0 and they only made noise when the sending offs occured, dreadfull home support no wonder they call the home end the cemetery end. Also the catering was shocking no burgers/chips or hotdogs and the worst sausage roll ever even Hereford is a step up.

Its a strange one. Sometimes the atmosphere at Gigg is pretty good and other days flat.

Believe it or not I was in the other end behind the net and couldnt hear the Accy fans either. It always sounds louder when your in the stand in question.

What you forget is that Gigg is a pretty big ground 11,000 and the clubs split the family stand into two bits, 1 in the main stand and one behind the net so the singers seem to be dotted around which doesnt help. if Gigg held 6000 Im sure it would be rocking.

Away from home is a different story, well take 400+ to Torquay in their covered end and it will be rocking.

Anyway good thing is we had 600/700 more home fans there than the last home game and we are looking pretty good so that will do me.

Roll on a long weekend in Torquay!!!!!

[Colmeister]

Completely agree with Redraine. McConville scores that early goal and its a different game entirely. And yeah Bury's no. 25 (the boy on loan from Man U) was outstanding today, we had no idea how to stop him.

From Stanley point of view, I don't get to see them often but its easily the worst I've seen them play. Agree with Nickelson, Winnard was woeful. (also agree bout the catering, it was even worse!). Good thing we found a chippy on way out of Bury - I learned a new term - 'chip barm'. Eh??? A 'roll and chips' where I'm from (chip buttie at a stretch - but a barm?).

Fantastic Accy support as always and Tom depending on the FA cup draw, that could be our next adventure. (if not, see u in Morecambe at New Year).

The official best chippy in the north is in Bury - Metro on Manchester Road.

And the whole chip teacake/barm/roll/muffin thing is just annoying when you are from Accrington living in Manchester with a bunch of southerners. Weirdest one I've heard is a girl I know from Coventry calls it a "batch". Bloody hell.
