Accrington v Argyle - the Richard Blight Match thread

Just what we needed. And more the same next Saturday will be even better. Well done the lads, the support and also Chris Webb. His commentating was actually very professional. Can't imagine it's easy to be put on the spot for the first time and I have to say he sounded pretty good, if a bit mumbly at times.

Beat D&R and we're six points clear of them with at least +10 more goal difference. Of course it's nowhere near a done deal but it could go a long way to putting one of our BSP fodder rivals out of the picture.

Bleddy brilliant, everybody around us has lost, D&R by 5 GD looks a lot better now, clean sheet twice in 2 hope Fletch doesn't get poached by a bigger club.

Well bugger me senseless and call me Doris. Never expected that. Top effort.

Totally agree.

Next week we enter Argyle's nemesis ever since I've been going anyway - a true 6 pointer with an expectant crowd. Next week could see us put some clear daylight between us and the Daggers. Will we deliver? I bleddy hope so.

I would be the first to say Chris' punditry was a tad monotone but he dealt with it well. Its one of those jobs that everyone thinks they can do but I'm sure its a bloody sight harder than it looks (I mean listens...)

Well done everyone. A great weekend's work. Now only the merlot left

I must admit I thought he would be going beserk when we scored, but he stayed very professional. And I hope Fletcher tells the team to get after Dagenham right from the kick-off. They must be low on confidence and an early goal like today could knock them for 6.

Excellent and completely unexpected result. Problem is we need to do this everyweek now to have a chance of avoiding the abyss.

Every other week will be okay

Have a lovey evening Freathy

EL, I think you're starting to chill and get this site, and some of it's posters.

Let's start off with the easy one, Doris.

My phone buzzed non stop all through, fabulous result and a positive glimmer of hope.

So many firsts today for this season at least you would be forgiven for not knowing where to start. Firstly there is Freathy saying the word "Excelllent" in the same sentence as Argyle. Secondly there is the actual score. Thirdly there is a grudging praise rather than kicking for Mr President from residents of ATD. And, fourth and by no means last, Argyle have moved up yet another place in the league. I'm not dreaming all this and it's not Saturday evening yet am I?

And you've found out that Gus Honeybun f***s like a rabbit.

Chris comes in for stick on here, but only when it's justified. There could be some awkward questions for him to answer soon about the GAS Board elections, so it could be business as usual again shortly.

Get Webby on every week if that's the result. We all over emphasize single results as we lurch from euphoria to deep depression but IMHO this is a really significant result. Confidence is everything and the players can now start to see they can win as well as avoiding expected defeats. After the crap on Tuesday this is a right tonic.

Accrington Stanley! Who are they?

I only caught about 20mins of the radio devon commentary, but I thought CW did a very good job as summariser and made some very good points. If we can win 4-0 every time he summarises, we ought to staple him to Sparksy asap.

I thought that Webby did pretty well.
Football league show has us at about 1:05, we even get a mention in the round up.

Next week will be very interesting. An absolute must win for both teams. D&R are truly shite, at least as shit as us but possibly even worse - if that is indeed possible! Fletcher (Deehan) has to go all out to retlentlessly attack without mercy and not defend from the start like against Barnet. Otherwise we'll be looking at an utterly disasterous home draw or a loss. Shit, I'll even go to this one.

It is not an absolute must-win for us anymore. It is for D&R though.

Obviously a win is important but we are in control now. It is D&R who are playing catch-up. Not us.

We're in control ?

Definately do not agree with that. This is a MUST win for us as much as it is for D&R! We're only 3 ponts ahead of D&R and they have a game in hand, although their goal difference is much worse. And Northampton have two games in hand over us. Anything other than a win would be a total disaster.

Dead right Freathy.
We need a win, and by at least 4 goals. If you go I'm sure they'll pull out all the stops for you.
