Sunderland Win At Accrington
9 months ago we’d never played at Accrington, today was my 4th visit to see SAFC play there! As with Portsmouth, there’s only so much to write about a team and a trip to their ground…… with this in mind, I’ve decided to go picture heavy, with today’s match review.
GETTING THERE……




With time on our side, SAFCBlog decided to stop for a coffee at the wonderful Dick Turpins Cafe on the A59 somewhere near Skipon…..


ACCRINGTON PRE MATCH
Head to The Crown as usual, watch The Mags lose on TV, quick pint, pre match meal……


THE MATCH
After going 1-0 down, we were soon 3-1 up, with three decent goals. A bit bizarre thereafter, Accrington are really poor, (going down with Wimbledon and Bolton I’d say?). Ultimately we won comfortably, but we were poor 2nd half, it almost had the feel of a pre season friendly? Would have loved Grigg to have scored his last minute chance, he’s clearly a confidence player? Keep going Will…. it’ll come right soon. SAFCBlog always been a fan of Jack Ross….. but I’d like to see substitutions a bit sooner? Accrington had two of the world’s tallest men in defence….. yet we persisted with the big punt forward, it concerns me slightly that we only seem to have a Plan A? But….. job done and 3 points, which ultimately is all that really matters!





HOMEWARD BOUND
3 points safety in the bag and Home for 6.15pm…. piece of piss this winning in Lancashire? No Sat Nav, or hapless driver issues this time around….. stunning scenery.

Walk upon England’s mountain green?”

Shine forth on clouded hills?”

Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand”

In England’s green and pleasant land”
JACK FASHION WATCH

Onwards and upwards.
