The league return of the fans matchday thread

chevyfire · 14-08-2021, 11:04

Very excited regards today, looking forward to seeing everyone back at the ground.
Be loud and proud, play your part within the mighty reds of Accrington.
3 points would be nice to start.
Let's spread positivity throughout are fan base.
I am excited to see how Pell plays for us. Cambridge from past memories are usually a physical outfit.
Enjoy the day all.

Line up :-
Trafford.
Pritchard. Rodgers. Sykes. Nottingham. McConville.
Pell. Morgan. Butcher.
Bishop. Charles.
Subs:-. Isherwood. Mumbango. Proctor. Leigh. Sully. Perritt. Nolan.

No Burgess apparently off to Ipswich, no Savin haven't heard any rumours about him so presume he's had a knock. Hope we get close to seven figures for Burgess.

Good stuff STANLEY...and the nasty tractor thieves lost to make it even better.

One positive Cashy is we beat a side expected to be closer to the bottom than the top, if we continue and play well and beat the better sides we are in for a decent season. Good to hear Trafford overcame a mistake for their goal to make two decent saves shows signs of a decent keeper.

cashman · 14-08-2021, 17:08

agree he made a real mess of their goal imho.

Great three points for Stanley but, as ever, it was a very nervy last 15 minutes.
My MotM was their Houlihan! First half Morgan was clearly told to mark him closely, and he did a good job in nullifying his tricks. Stanley easily the better team in the first 45 and deserved the lead.
But, second half, Houlihan positioned himself out on their right up against McConville. Morgan had to stay central, so Houlihan’s influence grew in the second half. And the dreaded complacency of a 2-0 lead led to a panicky defence once Cambridge got their, somewhat lucky, goal.
But, considering the circumstances hinted at by Professor Coleman, it was a fab day back at Whambley.

Can someone explain to me please HOW we had 3 players booked and Cambridge had none? the only reason i could see were the officials were useless! the linesman on the new stand side in particular the ref was not much better i saw 2 penalties we should have had and was backed up by a ref that stands with us.

As I saw it Cashy, at least 2 of our lads 'took one for the team' and there is the difference mate
