Ridiculous decision for a free kick in my eyes, completely ruined it for me.
It was the most blatant foul in living memory. I have to say it took the ref ages to give it though.

Lovely day in the sun and at times we played some nice stuff but we lack pace. Thought the back four looked fairly comfortable but when the ball goes in to midfield there's not enough movement. Vose several times in the first half was looking for someone to make a diagonal run. Overall a better match than last Saturday and at 1-1, both teams had chances to win it. Asante looked a threat and maybe should have scored in injury time, but for a decent save from their keeper. Gunning and Boyce played well as a centre back pairing and our goal was well worked. The play seemed to go on for quite a while before the ref gave the free kick which lead to their goal and he gave us very little all game. Great free kick though but agree that the wall didnt seem to jump. Was far from bad and with a couple of players with real pace for next season there's still a good chance to improve.
Hats off to accrington for being a very friendly club.

Couldn't go today as it was a choice between today & Blackpool so well done to those that did. From some comments on here, JT and Jevvo on RH sounds like Vose's football brain is quicker than our movement. The movement is a massive issue for me and one that MB needs to solve pre season.
Glad that MB gave Andy Boyce a start as after weeks as a sub, it would have been easy to have played Shaun & Gunning, sounds like Boyce had a decent game which may frustrate some who say he's not good enough.
Nothing to play for now so I personally would like to see some of the fringe players getting some game time and a rest for Osborne who from what todays commentary sounds like and what I have seen s struggling a bit with his shin splints.
Bigger test next week I reckon, one that will see how many big game players we actually have.
UTM!!

The wall do or do not decide to jump when a free kick is taken,
That is decided on the training pitch,
Maybe the wall should be given a bit of freedom,
If you can reach it , HEAD IT !!!!!

http://www.skysports.com/watch.....crington-1-1-grimsbyHighlights I hope that free kick is on constant loop at Cheapside this week... 1. Mckeown is all over the place....sets up....then starts edging further across his goal nearer to the post he is already covering, giving the taker so much free goal to aim at. 2. Chris Clement breaks off the wall and turns away from the ball, it looks from that angle as if he had stood his ground he could easily have blocked it. 3. Vose on the opposite end of the wall is almost hiding 4. There are 3 of their players arriving in the 6 yd box for any scraps compared to 1 of ours Yes it was a nice strike but the above 4 things at just 1 free kick of the type we have regularly been conceding from all season just p1sses me off. Asante's goal was reminiscent of one Bogle scored early on last season in front of the Osmond, nice finish through the blockers legs blind siding the keeper.

Having just watched the very brief highlights, there's no way any blame could be given to macca . No keeper in the world would've saved that .

I've just seen the free kick for the first time - difficult to tell whether the wall would've deflected the shot had it jumped (but I agree that all of them should've at least made the effort to jump).
Macca is covering the other side of the goal, so the wall is there to try and protect the other side. Can't attach too much blame to him, although I'm sure he'll be reliving that goal like us and wondering what (if anything) he could've done differently.

Overall we were okay. A point was a fair result. Defensively i thought we were good _ Gunning in particular was very good and MOM. In midfield we were a mess. Good players a bit lost. Vose has bags of ability but went missing in the second half. Upfront Asante looked bright when he came in hope he plays more games.
I have mixed feelings about the game , i junk our players have more technical ability but they were more organised
