Lets talk about the Accrington Stanley game

[selby]

  Another away game, like Peterborough and Walsall against a team in the top half and on a good run of results, so we can expect to be in for a right old battle if we are to come away with any points from the game.
  I would expect Whiteman to step straight back into the side at the expense of Anderson, and injury allowing no other changes to the starting eleven.
  In Kee they have a good striker, and at Walsall their goalkeeper had a blinder to keep them in the game, with the defence being resolute wile put under a lot of pressure, a sign of keeping a good shape, and team work.
  So can we keep our run of victories going?
   Would you make any changes?
  Are you going to the game?
  Can John Marquis keep his scoring run going?
  Will our defenders be able to keep Kee under wraps?
  Lots to discuss,please have your say.

[Alan Southstand]

I think Kee scored from the spot at Walsall, so no goals from open play in that game. Their keeper had a blinder from the bits shown on the highlights, so the back 4 is breachable and JM is on one of his runs, so anything could happen. I think this maybe a game that is won and lost in the midfield, so it's to be hoped that our best 3 are available.

We gave Walsall a right battering, but it doesn't naturally follow that we should therefore beat Accrington. I'd take a draw now, if I'm honest! That, at least, would keep our unbeaten run going and then we can look forwards to a few home games coming up, including a big one against a team from somewhere up in the NE!

[CantleyRed]

Without wishing to start sounding like DD I have been wondering whether our high tempo/pressing game is best suited to one game a week (as the last 4 wins suggest) - so I predict a defeat on Tuesday.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

These are games that can determine if we're title contenders or play offs. Even though it's relatively early in the season, we want to be negotiating this tricky fixture.  We shouldn't fear it and with Whiteman back we should be at full strength but can't take our foot off the gas.

Go and get another 3 points!

[IDM]

We are not going to win every game, but being in 3rd place after ten games is outstanding, and other teams must be looking at us with some trepidation..

It won’t be the end of the world if we don’t win this one, we just need to be competing..

[Geoff Blakesley]

GM says he wants to be top of the league at the end of the week so he is clearly targetting 2 wins out of 2.

[Chris Black come back]

Five home games in league this season. Only won one of them (2-1 vs Wimbledon). Lost one, drew three of them 1-1.

This will be a draw.

[RedJ]

GM says he wants to be top of the league at the end of the week so he is clearly targetting 2 wins out of 2.

Well you'd hope he was targeting to win every game really.

[sheffield exile1]

Yes I am going and yes we will win, Hows that for optimism?

[Rovers Return]

Yes going to this one. Meeting my lad who is at Liverpool Uni. He will probably bring across his house mates. The last time he did this it was the turgid affair at Oldham. Hopefully this game might convince them that Donny are their second team.

[sha66y]

Can’t believe some of the predictions here...if GM says we will be top by the end of the week you all owe him that expectation, I know I do....he bollocked the lads at Plymouth and they responded, so I can only assume they either react well to bollockings, or fear another one...
0-3
Marquis 2
Copps 1

Accrington know we are coming, I can feel their collective heartbeats pounding with fear and dread...
Those of you unable to hear the clarion call should wash ya ears out and stop disbelieving the man in charge...he has put his cards on the table, and I applaud that strength of character in anyone....

[sedwardsdrfc]

I can see Crawford or May coming in for Copps and Whiteman coming in at least on the bench, Anderson had the shirt in a win so theres an argument he should keep it.

Why the asterisks ?

[since-1969]

No longer with us thank f***

[RedRover45]

No longer with us thank f***

I wondered that but Blair is still here unless I've missed something

Just a mistyped comma, that asterisk is meant for Mandeville.

So why isn't there one next to Garrett?

[RoversAlias]

Obviously he missed that one?

[Chris Black come back]

We still own Garrett. He is on season long loan to AFC Wimbledon. At end of this season his contract with us expires.

[RedJ]

Aye but we still own Mandeville and he's got a star too.

[GazLaz]

I think it will be 1-1.

[Boomstick]

Looks like it's on radio shitfield.
Not because it's our turn, but because we're the only team playing away.

[wing commander]

   I would happily take a point on this one..It's a very tough game and it would keep the unbeaten run going..No reason we cant win it the way we are playing but you cant win them all..

[Donnywolf]

No longer with us thank f***

I thought that they were all representing Canals - well theres Blair and Calder but then I realised they were the Canal - and most of the others are either banal or Anal ?

[since-1969]

Alimentary Canal 

[ravenrover]

I see 2 changes for Tuesday Copps and Johnson on the bench, Whiteman and Crawford in

[Alan Southstand]

Who is Johnson?

[Pancho Regan]

It will be a tough game this. John Coleman is an excellent Manager who has worked wonders for Stanley, and he knows what to expect from us.
They will do all they can to try and stop Marquis - and every opposing manager will be doing the same for the rest of the season. Coleman speaks highly of Marquis in today's Lancashire Telegraph, which is no surprise! 

Mallik Wilks played 21 games on loan for Stanley last season but only scored 3 goals I think.

And of course they have our former 'keeper Jonny Maxted, although he's back-up for the first-choice goalie.

I'm looking forward to this one, and it's nearer than a home game for me which is a bonus! I've got a bit of a soft spot for Stanley - my old mate was a season ticket holder before sadly passing away 2 years ago. It's good to see a small club punching above their weight.

I may be totally wrong here, but I could have sworn I saw Mason warming up that day.
