Today’s Opposition accrington stanley FOUNDED: 1968 | NICKNAME: STANLEY/ACCY | STADIUM: WHAM STADIUM | LAST SEASON: 11TH Stanley arrive at the Abbey Stadium this afternoon having made the 200-mile trip down the country in hope of maintaining their two game winning run – after previously going six games without one prior to their 2-0 win over Oxford United a week and a half ago. Having seen off Oxford United before comfortably beating relegation threatened Crewe Alexandra at the Wham Stadium last weekend, John Coleman’s men will be aiming to replicate the same early season form that saw Accy sit in the League One play-offs after four games – after winning three in three following an opening day defeat at Wycombe. John O’Sullivan was on hand to score his first of the season and the opener in Accrington’s win over Oxford a week and a half ago – firing in from the edge of the area – before Ethan Hamilton wrapped up the three points and Accy’s first win of 2022 in additional time, while in turn condemning Karl Robinson’s side to their first defeat in four matches. John Coleman’s men stand in good stead to improve on their 11th placed finish last season after comfortably seeing off Crewe Alex in their last outing. Ross Sykes’ brace either side of the half-time whistle, coupled with goals from Tommy Leigh and Sean McConville saw Accy move up to 12th; sitting just five points shy of 9th placed Ipswich Town. August’s reverse clash at the Wham Stadium, the clubs’ first meeting in three years, saw Accy pick up their first League One win of the campaign after racing in to a 2-0 goal lead after half an hour. Despite a much improved second half from Mark Bonner’s men, which saw striker Joe Ironside half the deficit with ten minutes to play, United were unable to muster up a comeback. Fans may remember Mark Angel, Darren Quinton and Darren Bridges all scoring in a dominant Cambridge United opening 45 back in 2005, when United ran out 3-1 winners over an Accrington side that would go onto the be crowned Conference National champions later that season. That win in August 2005 proved to be one of only two wins for the U’s over Saturday’s visitors since the turn of the century, with United’s only other win coming in an action packed clash at the Abbey Stadium in 2016, whereby two red cards and two Will Norris penalty saves in additional time saw Shaun Derry’s U’s hold on for a 2-1 win in League Two. 8 www.cambridge-united.co.uk | CambridgeUtdFC | Cambridge United Football Club | cambridgeunitedfc
The Gaffer John Coleman D.O.B: 12.10.1962 Place of Birth: Kirkby, England Despite admitting he’s “rapidly falling out of love with football” following Accy’s FA Cup exit to Derby County in 2019, which we suspect was somewhat said in the heat of the moment, the Merseyside born manager continues to defy all odds with his Accrington Stanley team. Now incredibly in his 21st season in charge at the Wham Stadium across two spells, the former Rochdale manager looks to be leading the Lancashire club to their fourth successive mid table finish in the third tier following their promotion from League Two in 2018 – despite having one of League One’s lowest wage bills.
