Puts into perspective our draw at Stevenage. They did us proud.

Amazing atmosphere and a crazy game. I thought we were bang out of luck and it wasn't to be our day, but that made it all the better when we got the winner.
In a strange sort of way I wonder if scoring so late really helped us, because while we were drawing Accerington probably felt in limbo - not knowing whether to hold on to what they had or go for the winner.
Had we been 3 up at half time Accers would have known what they had to do and would've thrown everything at Stevenage....and who knows it may have got them a winner!

Don't think I've ever had such a stressful match, particularly with so many chances going begging and Accrington failing to score. I really thought we'd blown it again when the game we went into injury time.

I really thought we'd blown it again when the game we went into injury time. Wembley last year was more stressy overall I thought. Felt sure we'd win once we levelled it up to about 80th minute when I started to panic we might not. No need! |

Think the difference last year was once Harrison scored we never really looked like losing, this year you sensed we were about to blow a brilliant chance of promotion. |

your posts remind me a lot of what I would say, I think we've had a similar lifetime gas experience....

I reckon atmosphere was helped by needing to win before worrying about others results. If we were 2-1 up at 60 minutes if would have been tenser. A bit pi55ed. Spellcheck actioned. Comment applied

Think the difference last year was once Harrison scored we never really looked like losing, this year you sensed we were about to blow a brilliant chance of promotion. I enjoyed today more because I was at home and the atmosphere was electric. I knew that if we lost or hadbt done it then I'd be stood next to my lot and we'd be together in the north terrace like we have all year so it wouldn't feel as bad. Wembley is different , the atmosphere isn't as good in my opinion it's nervous and everybody's spread out we're in a different stadium and its edgy. If we hadn't done it today the players would have had an amazing reception st the final whistle and we would have been singing Wembley songs straight away. And probably gone on to win the final in a stadium that I've got to be honest doesn't create as good an atmosphere as the blackthorn end anyway |
