Sounds like they tried the Shrewsbury approach.
Listened to commentary and they seemed pretty disgusted with their tactics and the ref's performance.
I noticed this at the World cup and in the Prem.
Inferior teams try to even things up by buying cheap free kicks and getting reactions leading to bookings and sendings off.
I watched an FA Cup game last week, and I was glad the non league team got knocked out because of the gamesmanship.
That would never have been the case 10 years ago.
Atmosphere dead ESR? Reds fans were brilliant and were at it for most of the game? Thought the game was’nt that bad we completed some great moves but where a cross was needed players decided to shoot! It should have been a lot more comfortable.
Teams know they can’t take a game to us so they try dirty tricks, play acting or just trying to out muscle us but they are learning now.
Peterborough and Oxford tried to play us and look what happened to them! God help Sunderland cos they will try to play us and think they have a better team.
4900 is a massive crowd by Accrington standards, just wondering how many you took? It's one of the best and worst away days in the league int it. But one you have to do to experience it.
4,801 is now their record attendance against us! We sold out our allocation of 2,374 I thought it was a great day out, would have been different travelling 3 and a half hours home had we lost!!!!!!
