Stanley vs Morecambe

[ASFC Tom]

BIg Lancashire derby for two teams who have just had massive wins - ours on the back of losing the previous 4 in the league and slipping out of the automatic promotion spots; Morecambe having lost the previous 3 and teetering on the edge of the relegation zone.

Hopefully the relative goal drought for our strikers is now over and can push back towards the top 3 - seemed to have got a bit of confidence back when we had bucketloads earlier in the season. Jackson had a great goal at Grimsby, due a few more.

3-1 Stanley - Jackson 2, Hughes with Ellison getting his obligatory goal in injury time

We all know how this will go. Billy Kee to score with his arse again.

 

[ASFC Tom]

Bump.

Original game was called off at half time after Stanley had gone 1 - 0 up. Think the weather forecast looks good enough for this one to almost certainly be on.

Win this and we go one point off Luton and play them Saturday.
Knowing Stanley will probably lose this but beat Luton
Hoping we can continue our superb home form

Well I'm a massive Stanley fan tonight. A bit like when Stanley played Barnet the season we were relegated and quite a few Grimsby fans went to that game.

Yeah I was at Butlins when that game was on and I couldn't concentrate all night on the show we were at, just constantly checking my phone for the score as if Barnet had won that we'd have been down. When I saw Accy had scored to make it 1-0 I screamed YES at the top of my voice getting some funny looks from the rest of the audience.
I don't think there was 1 Town fan who didn't think we'd stay up after that Accy - Barnet result, how wrong we all were.

Same game different day

 

[ASFC Tom]

Morecambe should be safe based on tonight's performance. Caused us some issues in the second half.

Another hard fought 1-0 win

Another penalty. How many is that now? I seem to remember Coleman having (an error filled) rant about how they didn't get any penalties earlier in the season. Certainly making up for it now.

 

[ASFC Tom]

Have you seen the foul for the penalty last night? Think that would be given 9 out of 10 times for any team. Would hope so anyway, striker goal side of the defender and hauled down.
