Head Coach Mark Bonner Firstly, I’d like to welcome John Coleman, his staff and players to The Abbey for today’s Sky Bet League One tie against Accrington Stanley. Last weekend’s hard earnt point at Burton was an important one, albeit both teams probably felt frustrated not to have taken all three, whilst relieved to have at least taken something at the same time. After a difficult start we found our way into the game and came back from behind twice against a notoriously tough team to do so against. We might have won the game late on. With good attacking periods of play and some wonderful counter attacks, had we found the final action with more joy, we may have been celebrating the win. The challenge of recent away games has been obvious and taking a point at Fleetwood and Burton shouldn’t be sniffed at. We take it, knowing there is more in us and on another day may have returned home better off. The late defeat at Gillingham angers us as a point would have been ok. Having played seven away games in six weeks and 12 matches in 40 days, our schedule has been brutal. We are currently on 19 Tuesday fixtures for the season and heading towards 60 competitive games come the end of the season. The players are doing great and are always wanting to do better. We hope that our first midweek break of 2022 has helped us to refresh ourselves going into a busy fortnight starting today against an Accrington Stanley side, who are again having a good season and had an excellent result against Crewe last weekend. At the time of writing, I am preparing to head up to Sheffield to watch them face Sheffield Wednesday. This gives us a chance to see them live which I always prefer if the schedule allows. We will then prepare the players on Thursday the best we can for the game. We won’t be alone in struggling for space on the grass to train this week. Tuesday was waterlogged and the forecast for the remainder of the week looks crazy. Perhaps today could be the first weekend where we see games fall foul to the storms and conditions. Either way, we expect some challenging conditions today and as pitches keep deteriorating, it is no surprise to have seen a number of recent games looking as they have. It’s that time of year. A simple question always challenges us, ‘do we fancy it?’. The support we have had over the past six weeks has been outstanding. For all who have travelled with us and supported us through a tough period, thank you. We have always said that our progress as a team and club will be determined by the support, atmosphere and togetherness across the whole club. We are building something and that will have huge highs, dips and challenges throughout, but as we do it, there will be many good moments we can share together. Enjoy the game.
