Accrington Stanley v Barrow match thread

[Desmond2-2]

Excellent performance that, and we kept going and going. How much off an asshole is that McConville. If I had one criticism, we put dozens of balls into the box, wether from corners or during play, I don’t remember us winning one. Well done everyone.

Conceded 3 goals, a pen, a balls up and deflected into a tap. Very solid look after 3 games

Battling performance.
Big shout out to Tyrrell Warren. There's a player in there.
Not sure what Newby brings to the party?

Deserved more, we don't create a lot of clear cut chances though.

For people moaning about our lack of crowd Saturday, look at accrington, that bar and set up is excellent, chairman is good. Can't see why he bothers with 1500 home fans and a drum.

What?!? I think you’re being a bit harsh there.

Newby was one of our main outlets first half, Brett Ormerod on Accies iFollow feed was very impressed by him.

Listened to Pete Wild's interview after the game.
Paul Farman is having an injection Thursday to relieve some pressure, but he doesn't expect him to be playing Saturday.
Ben Whitfield has started training and should be fit for the game following the Wrexham one.
Mazeed Ogungbo will be only out for 5 weeks which is less than expected.
He was after Harrison Neal back but Sheffield United cooled at the end of last week so he knew it wouldn't happen.
Especially when Steve Evans phoned him asking about the lads character.
Sheffield wanted him loaning to a higher division club.
He is still after another midfielder coming in.
James Chester is still with the club though weighing up his options.
I get the impression that Wild would like him signing for us.

Got to say I was little bit concerned by the number of players signed from lower divisions, but two of my standout players from the first few games have been Tiensia and Acquah, both signed from non-league. Excellent recruitment by the looks of things, albeit still very early days.

Diamonds in the rough, Bringing these type of lads in is a big part of our Business plan, Buy cheap, Develop & sell High.

Enjoyed that & we coulda shoulda won that.

Done that...entered card details...just get the message "conflict"
watched many games on iFollow before with no problem

Sorry, I have only just seen this. I hope all were sorted. As already stated, use the 'Existing Payment' method.

I also recommend removing duplicate card details which may have been created by entering card details each time to make a purchase rather than using the Existing Payment route. To do this, sign in to iFollow on your PC or in your mobile phone browser, if not already signed in. Go to your account which can be accessed by clicking where your registered name appears at the top right of the screen.

Under the Payment Information section of your account, you can remove any saved payment details other than one which should be marked Default.

In future, use the Existing Payment option rather than re-entering details.

Hope this helps.

I was astonished there wasn't more added time given the number of subs, 'injuries' and blatant time wasting. Fortunately we'd already got a well deserved equaliser by then.

Warren had a really good game played sensibly and crucially has the pace to cover the other two defenders - he is being coached well and we are seeing progress with the lad.

Newby looks uncomfortable to me on the left very reluctant to use the left foot to cross a ball always cuts inside & hits it with his right which allows defenders time to organise themselves against his crosses.

Yes a lot of crosses went in tonight but give Accy defenders credit they dealt with everything pretty well. But the least we deserved was a draw and I do feel Acquah could become some player. Not sure how their defender only got a yellow when he was pulled back driving towards goal. Unlike others I though Proctor did well (except for that header). A clever centre forward causing their defenders no end of issues until he tired. Would really be nice to have a poacher type of player like Gordon to feed of those two.

Think we do need another left sided midfield player allowing Newby to operate on the right. When Whitfield returns he can go left but yet again he's more right sided as well but better than Newby.

Never been to that ground before - they are very welcoming & have a nice setup apart from that drum! Would have lost that game 1-0 last season.

Two big games coming up.

[Gaffer]

Much improved 2nd half. Subs worked well. Acquah is a beast and causes havoc. Tiensa added much needed drive and Foley some quality. We defended well throughout. Great goal and work from Ray and Tiensia to set up chance for Acquah. Top finish. Shout out for Warren. Won a load of headers alongside Canavan and Ray and looked pretty solid. Too many backwards passes 1st half, better quality 2nd. Controlled mist of game and happy how we turned it round. What a plonker Mconvict is BTW. Well done Pete.

[Methuselah]

How good were the Bluebirds.I could not believe I was watching a Barrow team.That never say die attitude seems to carry them through.If Accrington hadn,t got that scrappy goal we would have won.Aqua is a revelation and seems to get better with every game and Tiensa seems able to dribble the ball around most opposing players..This team that Pete Wild has put together seem to be getting better with every game.Onwards and Upwards.

Let's get on the lads back . He fits the bill, being local. Come on, He's being asked to play on his 'wrong side' and doing a solid enough job. If Brett Omerod thinks he's doing well I'll trust his opinion over yours .

[bhbb]

Hard to not justify giving acquah and tiensia a start after their impact off the bench. Both have dangerous pace and acquah is an absolute handful, must be a nightmare to defend against. Think the last 25 minutes our intensity was quality and accy didn’t know how to handle us, Shame we didn’t come out of the blocks like it. Nice too see we have a bit of depth now in the squad

3 games in and only one team above us is a dream start and fair play to all involved. 2 huge games coming up now with two of the favourites who haven’t got going yet, very good time to be playing them

Just watched the highlights and you can see what a good side we are . Great pass from George Ray to set up the winner. He’s not just a pretty boy ! Good performances all over the pitch. Especially pleased for Josh Lillis who looked very solid with excellent distribution. We really battered Stanley. Keep going like this and it’s going to be interesting!
