Wow, with the greatest respect to Accrington, when you compare their ground with the Valley you wonder how on earth are we in this league?

...and why teams are so excited when playing down the Valley.

Lots of head tennis, culminates in Famewo hoofing it out for a throw

To be fair its grounds like this that make me love the English Football system

Its stands for everything the Super League isnt for me

Only 3 mins in but we’re playing against a team of giants. Gotta keep the ball on the deck, pass and TAKE SOME SHOTS

Stockley so much better with a man to win the knock ons too

Better than a soulless corporate bowl.

Huge goal kick from Amos, Stockley heads on, it goes wide to Gunter but his attempted cross is blocked.

But that’s what makes L1 interesting, the small clubs operating at their maximum against the underachieving bigger clubs

WTF is that multi coloured building in the corner - fucking awful

aliwibble

Late challenge on Stockley in the centre circle wins us a free kick.

Oxford winning 1-0

We hoof the ball forward towards Inniss and he's adjudged to have fouled the keeper so they get a free kick.

ForeverAddickted

Ooo Washington fires just over the bar from outside the area

Good chance, ball was always rising

Chunes

We've missed Washington

aliwibble

Oooh! Cross from Maatsen to Washington who turns and shoots just over the bar.

Famewo deals really well with a long ball forward whilst under pressure, takes it down to feet and leaves the Accrington player for dead

Accrington keeper does a Deano.

Because for most of the last 10 years or so we've been a little bit poo.

golfaddick

Any chance we can  play the ball  ON THE GRASS

aliwibble

Bah, great chest from Stockley to JFC who releases Washington but he's just offside.

ForeverAddickted

Does feel like a 3-4-1-2 as mentioned early in the thread

Gilbey looks to be playing further forward and behind the two Strikers compared to Pratley and Forster-Caskey

aliwibble

Accrington have a throw down on our right, but can't really do anything with it
