Accrington Stanley are going through difficult times with an Owner who wants to sell and a relatively new manager after John Coleman finally lost patience with that same owner.
Most recently they have been more successful away than at home with 2 successive 3-1 victories at Sutton and Newport preceded by a 2-1 win at Swindon. At home, most recently they’ve lost to Bradford City and Morecambe and drawn to Crewe and Notts County.
Having got the better of good sides like Wrexham and Walsall it seems that Rovers ought to deal with Accrington quite comfortably, but fortune can never be excluded from the predictions. In fact we have not had any serious bad luck recently and we need the character to deal with and recover from misfortune.
So it will not be a stroll in the park, concentration will have to be maintained and hard work will be necessary to get the essential win.
If we don’t win we will have suffered a loss of form and after two really tough home games we obviously all hope the 3 ppg sequence will continue.
I’ll suggest 3-0 (Adelakun)
DPL v Accrington Stanley

GM does seem to have very good man management skills and He's able to get his tactical plans working now due to the better availability of players. We're not scraping the barrel for subs like earlier in the season either. He's certainly getting 100% out of the players at the moment. He never panicked earlier in the season and was always confident it would come together eventually.Honestly I didn't think we'd get this far though. Even Olowu is playing well! Not yet booked my hotel for the 19th May just yet though. Will it come down to the Gillingham game? Probably.

I did say "at least two games more", and certainly hope for three!
I agree, Olowu has been an eye-opener over the last two games. In his early time here I thought he had potential then many mistakes and bad clearances developed. GM does have really good man management skills.

Good piece on Rovers

Agreed - a well researched, and well written piece for which the author should be complimented. Expecting the spelling to be perfect to complement the writing is possibly too much to hope for.

I don’t think I shall be able to resist following Barrow v Crawley tonight. Neither set of fans seems confident of putting up the kind of performance needed for a win with Crawley fragile at home and Barrow poor away.

So, neither Crawley nor Walsall can equal or exceed our points total provided we win all our games in hand.
And Colchester are virtually safe, so not fighting for their lives next Tuesday.

Yes, it's in our hands now. Who would have thought that would be the case a few weeks ago?

And congratulations to Mansfield. Nice to see them get promoted.
