TOPIC: Accrington (A) Match Thread

Accrington survive on gates that would be low for non-league football, less than 1,400 of their supporters today, and still we haven't the team to batter them!

On gates 3 times Accrington's and more, we can't put out a team that than even beat 'em with a man advantage.

You wonder how much these Accrington lads are getting paid? and what is going on behind the scenes at Brunton Park!

A bit unfair-we are still 3rd.Mind 2 wins out of 10 is worrying.

Still -AJ continues to 'invest' in the club according to the N&S; today.How long can he carry on without other contributors?

Is invest the right word?

Yeah... investors usually want a return

Not good enough. A team and club going for promotion and trying to impress a Billionaire should be making light work of teams like Accy. Last 3 games we have had a warning.
Invest in quality now before its too late.

Then again, I remember 89-90 season. Sitting well at top of league. We finished outside the play offs in the end...
Who owned the club then?...
The same man in charge now!!!

A [censored] shan... and jenkins is incompetent as ive said for ages...... challenge me coz frankly there is no leg to stand on

Accrington had hunger, determination and grit. Carlisle had none.

It's not investing if you want it back..

We were woeful... Outplayed by 10 men. Hanging on at the end.

Interesting comments from KC re crowds etc.He is right-the more who turn up,the more the budget is enhanced.Unless of course AJ wants some of his money back-in which case, the more who turn up,the greater the chance of him getting some money back.

Basically,if AJ wants some or all of his money back,and it's clear from the N&S; today that he does,and who wouldn't in his position,then it can only act as a drag on the Club's finances.

Best thing is to turn up on Saturday whatever the weather

The way things are going at the minute theyll be less people going than last home game, the results and way their playing is not exactly enticing the floating fan to turn up.

The slump is very disappointing and some of the players seem to have lost form at the same time. We have to add to the playing staff before the end of the month to shore up the team in the departments that need it, otherwise we are going to lose out on automatic promotion..

Its not loosing out on promotion that worries me - Portsmouth will overtake us winning their game in hand. Its loosing out on the play offs.

The more people turn up the more chance of another bottle job and we're likely to lose unfortunately. I can only remember once when the crowd has risen above the norm and the team has delivered in 20 years. It might be best we start getting Accrington crowds and see Jenkins nipping.

Interesting or not the bloke is bullshitting the latest financial projections went in mid Dec so what happens now as to creating any major boost to the allowed budget could only be affected by a material injection of cash and a reassessment and not by a few more turning up next Saturday

So not sure whos the bigger arsehole Curle and his lies or Jenkins and his silence and non existent pockets.

It's not hard to see who the biggest arsehole on this post is.

The form table doesn't look good -http://www.footballwebpages.co.uk/leaguetwo/form

Exeter are flying - w5 d1 l0 f16 a1 pts 16

I thought they were the better team and played good football when we came from behind to win 3-2 - they were bottom then and now they are 9th, 1 point from the playoffs with a game in hand.

We are going the same way as Plymouth at the moment , hope we can turn it around but the deck is stacked at the moment !...wonder if KC knows how soon Jones and Grainger will be back and is just riding it out!

I've heard Jones is quite close but Grainger is still a long way away from return

Yes it is, that is pretty much what investing is.

Not wanting it back would be him donating it.

Is he not loaning more to the club? Is a loan a investment or a loan?

Err I'm going for A Loan !

We were woeful yesterday... playing like a team totally bereft of confidence... hence making poor decisions and playing so predictable unable to break down a poor Accrington even with just ten men. I think Keith Curle's post match was fairly accurate. I felt totally frustrated but to me booing the players off is totally unacceptable I do not see how that is supposed to help them get their confidence back. The same idiots booing would be the same ones going into a frenzy if we won. You are supposed to be supporters! Also what is this with the 15 to 25 year old group going back and forward to buy food all game don't you eat the rest of the week that you have to eat between 3 pm to 3-45 and 4-05 pm to 4-50 pm on a Saturday afternoon? Don't you go to watch the match? [censored] American influence but that is why their sport is dragged out for hours and hours to play a few minutes.

In a word NO because they all lick Jenkins arse.

I thought that in Curle there might just be a man who would stand up to him [as he has done at previous clubs ] but no he clearly sees achieving at Carlisle and moving on to somewhere better on the back of it as his last chance and clearly that makes inserting his tongue into Jenkins backside something hes willing to do to make that happen.

But out of the entire staff i would keep Mitchell the groundsman [ even if Ted did score massively higher on personality and comedy value ] and his staff. Dolly of course and Lee Dykes.Oh and i dont suppose hes still there but the bloke in the white coat who used to be in charge of the food in the East Stand back in the day was spot on i never had to queue and he was always good for a bit of dirt on Jenkins or Knighton

Oh and i nearly forgot the part time member of staff who to this day is still good for a juicy snippet or two with the texts but wed better not go there.

If on a change of ownership the entire support staff were booted out just how many of them do you think would go on to get further jobs in football administration i.ll bet you could count it on way less than one hand and how long is it since any of our backroom staff we poached to go and work at another club ? I think that says it all really.

I had a chuckle at this, so true. Group of lads usually sit near me in East Stand and do this constantly, they don't seem to have cottoned on that the food is dogshit! Oh, and they've all got stupid haircuts. And gormless faces.

One rivet had a pair of shorts on ( with a puffa jacket) and one had just a t shirt.
Crap haircuts, bad beards, fake stone island goggle wear and above all really bad songs.

However they seem to enjoy their day and and they are there in numbers to support the team, so fair play to them.

£20 for those 'facilities' are a joke though
