After a reasonable start we let Accy into the game and they then started to dominate midfield. The penalty was st the opposite end to us so we had no idea who or why. I certainly am not criticising anyone when I had no idea what happened. After that we were second to every ball and the second goal was no surprise. We then started to get the ball forward much wuicker and Accy looked like rabbits in headlights when faced with pace. Their keeper gifted us the first wirth s Cross he should have done better with. The second was pure quality and as well as Udoh did for the third, the centre back should have cleared it and then the keeper could have done better. Great resistance from the lad though , and a real old mental on the away end. Good night until a read the usual drivel from PC Plod, who doesn’t seem able to spell user names correctly. We will only get better now, with zero-Shaun, Ollie and Josh soon to come back. It is now hissing down up here around Warrington, but who csres? I think the inspector replaces the ‘k’ in your username with a ‘c’ to mimic how you have done the same for months with Beckles. I’ve noticed it too and always wondered if it was out of ignorance or disrespect. I sincerely hope for your sake that it’s the former. Wow. A spelling mistake? On B&A? Surely that can’t be allowed. Just out of interest, many English surnames are derived from places, and having spent the last 12 years of my working life in a Mail Centre, place names and their spellings ( and Post codes), become second nature. I (wrongly) assumed that there may have been some connection with the town of Beccles on the A12,in Suffolk. How silly of me, and how clever of our resident wannabe copper, who also insults Hoover by omitting a letter “o” from his user name. Oh and if it’s disrespect you are monitoring, look at some of the posts about our manager over the last 8 months.

Morison been awful again. New striker please Sam. Totally incorrect, he won most of his headers/duals and found a blue shirt 9 times out of 10. Put in a big shift up top, its hard doing a 1 man press... Still, it wouldn’t be our fan base without a scape goat to abuse I wrote that after we went 2 down. Heat of the moment and reflecting,he wasn’t awful, he did contribute but didn’t look a goal threat. Thought we looked more likely to score, when he went off.

Fej and Udoh had a huge impact but it's a difficult one for Ricketts now as it's unlikely they'd carry the same threat from the start. Morison for his strength and Fej for his finishing is the partnership for me.

Even though an Accy player blazed a shot over the bar in injury time, the general feeling in the ground was that any further goals were more likely to be in Town’s favour.

Was a very enjoyable, entertaining game. One of those you suspect the fans loved but both managers will be wondering what on earth was going on with it being so end to end and open. I'm mighty pleased with the points and hopefully things are slowly but surely coming together and we will continue to improve over time and better is yet to come. I say that because despite winning two from four I don't yet think we were the better side in those wins and didn't think we were in control of those games either. Hope that makes sense. That we haven't yet looked that convincing. But we're winning, confidence can only grow as a result and hopefully as will the players understanding of what Ricketts is asking of them. From what I have seen so far this is a great start because I don't yet think we have played all that well as yet (I mean over a sustained period of time over the 90). So I'm in half a mind of whether this is it and we've dropped on with the start we've made or that this is only the start and better is yet to come as the season progresses. Time will tell. Fingers crossed it's the latter...

I hope that our resident Special doesn’t read the match report that the BBC have put out then...a certain Omar Buckles conceded the penalty from which Accrington scored their first goal.

Correct, Ricketts made the change and it worked. Morison won’t score loads but neither did Morris a couple of seasons ago. All in all, we seemed a lot better going forward and there were some good passing movements. Really like the look of this squad. Beckles did a good job last night and has fit in well in the back 3. Even the young Thompson lad has amazing pace for a CM.

Aside from the 2 absolute sitters in the second half missed by Love and Whalley when Morison was on the field and the other string of opportunities created then also.

Really pleased for Danny Udoh. So much talent in this country. Love it when my Club, Shrewsbury, give them a chance. Well done young man, savour it, then crack on. And Town signed him from........................................

Really don't think that is his game at all. And from what I have seen I don't think we are playing to his strengths as yet. For me way too early to judge. Let's give him something to work with...

Morrison does a lot of subtle things he tends to get in good positions ,wins most of the headers complaing he does not cover a lot of ground is not his style of play,
we conceeded two goals in five minutes, the second time this season we have conceeded two goals in a short period of time.a tremendous save from O'Leary kept accrington score at two very pleased for Ferjiri and Udoh the goals will give both a confidence boost,we have been lacking a midfielder who has good distribution but tonight Goss filled the role.
very happy to have a game were town found there scoring boots, town derserve some credit to come back from two down to win this game.
let us hope town can now build on this.

Instead of having a go at Morrison I prefer to think that he and Whalley did their job of chasing everything and wearing out the Accrington defenders ready for the two fresh subs to come on and win us the game. Perfect tactics by the manager.

Perfect tactics by the manager. Exactly. It’s a long season and Morrison will play his part and can see him scoring some vital goals for us. I also like that he shakes opponents hands properly at the start of a game rather than fist bumps or weird clap hand thing!! 😂

Shrewsbury fans celebrated like they were 2-0 down with 15 minutes to go and then won the game 3-2. What does he think the fans are going to do, politely clap and leave quickly in an orderly fashion? Ffs

With regards Morrison I accept the fact we're not really playing to his strengths. My issue is that he doesn't try to get involved more when he's not seeing a lot of the ball.
Whether or not that's just "not his game" is besides the point; we're clearly not playing in a way that suits him. Crossing is not strong enough and we haven't found someone who can play off him (although Feji hasn't really been given the chance to learn yet I don't think). If that's the case, regardless of how good you think his heading and flick ons are, he doesn't justify his place in the team.
The moment which really makes this crystal clear is Udoh's goal; Udoh showed a great burst if pace and mobility to make up the ground on their defender (who, having dealt with a much less mobile Morrison all night, was day dreaming frankly), great strength to win the ball, great control and superb composure to slot the ball home. Nearly set Feji up with a knock down off a corner too (which Feji air kicked) shortly after coming on.
That's what we need a target man for. Give Udoh a go on Saturday as far as I'm concerned. Above all else, his energy and positivity alone were invaluable. Completely changed the whole mindset of the team. Admittedly I m probably a little over excited following a superb (and rare for me now I have 2 kids) away trip but I think we might have a real gem on our habds there.

Truth is he should take it as a compliment. I wasn't expecting a win beforehand and don't see Stanley as pushovers. It was a tough game and a big away win so damn right we celebrated. Maybe he needs to lose the inferiority complex, it's not justified anymore.

Colemans probably more upset with himself. If he had sent one of his players on the posts Okenabirhies goal would have been blocked and suicide defensive set up for our winner.

There's something that brings out bitterness in the Lancashire air. Did the same to Mowbray a couple of years back.

Off the accrington forum is the following observation which is probably more balanced than Colemans...enjoyed the reference to Ricketts!!
Quote..
"Mmmmm??? Think you got that one the wrong way round my friend. The Shrews came, they saw, they pillaged - Stanley! By half time I thought this game has 0-0 all over it, so ineffective was our attack. The Shrews upped their work rate at the start of the 2nd half & began to put Stanley under real pressure. In fact, our penalty award in the 67th minute was somewhat against the run of play. It instilled confidence in the team & when Charles hit an absolute screamer to make it 2-0, the Shrews looked truly pillaged. 5 minutes later Hughes contrived to gift the Shrews a lifeline & the tables began to turn. When Sam Ricketts (football genius?) made 2 substitutions on 79 minutes, it changed the game. Within 10 minutes, both Udoh & Okenabirhie had scored the goals to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. Naive defending cost us the game, although I think it's ludicrous to blame it all on Evtimov. Hard work on the training ground is required to turn this present squad into a competent L1 side"

You have to admire what he has done with Acc Stanley and should have received manager of the year on more than one occasion (in my opinion), but he really is a f*****g tool when it comes to doing post match interviews. Their keeper "harshly" being sent off at our place last year springs to mind.....

Credit to SR for his subs - I just wish he’d take the shackles off the players from the off & stop trying too hard tactically. This is League One not the Premier League. Great night tonight! Interesting point. I think our goals came from Giles making runs down the left (for the first two), which he's always looking to do and which you'd expect of a wing back. Then the winner was a clearance from defence which Udoh did superbly to chase down, control, keep his balance and finish. So, was that taking off the shackles? I'm sure Accrington will look at that third goal and think they committed too many to attack and made a mistake leaving one man isolated in defence. Similarly, their second goal, superbly finished as it was, was enabled by us losing our shape completely. Some were pressing, others weren't, so the pitch was left wide open for Stanley to work it through us from back to front with about 3 or 4 simple passes and then, to put the cap on it, they had two attackers v one defender with the rest out of position. I get what you're saying about taking the shackles off but I don't think that's what happened last night. More to the point, I don't think League 1 is so unsophisticated that Ricketts should "stop trying too hard tactically". Last night showed how easily a good team can score when you lose tactical discipline and shape, even in League 1. The organisational and technical standards are higher than they used to be and I think we'd lose more than we'd gain if we didn't keep up with that. Besides which, I doubt a manager or his team, especially one with very limited resources, could survive long at a higher level without playing a tactical game.

Very much a heat of the moment comment, that. All in all, it was an even contest and they were fortunate to have the advantage of some dubious refereeing to give them a 2 goal lead. However, with a defence as shaky as theirs turned out to be, I would be very confident they wouldn't beat us in the next 9 games! I think we could edge that series.
