A bit scrappy in the first 20 minutes. We've had a couple of decent attempts. Brown with a decent shot but deflected narrowly over and Khumbeni 'rose like a salmon' to get his head on a corner that went narrowly over. They've had a scrappy period of play about eight yards out, that could have ended up anywhere, but fortunately it was cleared.

As I write, 21st minute, Accrington corner resulted in a decent shot that Mair saved well, to tip over.

This ref is very 'odd'. Let four hard fouls go without even a free-kick, then gave Accrington a series of 50-50's' Senior then has his legs taken out after the ball had gone, definite yellow card but not even a talking to. I bet he books someone for something and nothing or a red card for something silly.

He's now given Acci a freekick after an excellent tackle by Tutonda!

Garner just chipped the keeper from 40 yards but narrowly over the bar.

If you aren't watching, the weather went from glorious sunshine to biblical rain. Then, five minutes later, after soaking anyone who isn't under cover, it stopped raining!

Pitch is in pretty good condition.

Two more clear fouls, nothing given. Then Tutonda slips after losing the ball, he gets a free kick, when it was definitely not a foul! At least his odd decisions are going in both directions.

Not a bad 1st half

Clean sheet at least

We are probably edging it but the ball seems to be in the air more than on the deck.

The ref is indeed very odd. Apart from the fouls that weren't fouls, and the odd ones he's given, there was an instance where an Accy player kicked the ball away after a free kick was awarded and he just told him off! Surely a yellow card offence.
Yes, the big worry is that when he collects his cards from the dressing room, where he obviously left them first half, he will start waving them and we will probably be the team to suffer.

1st yellow took 3 mins in 2nd half

The way the ref ran across, I thought he was going to produce a red card!

Brown, directly from the free kick!!! Very narrow angle, shot on target, keeper fumbled it in to the net.

2 nil

Justice. We should have had a penalty, but then we might have missed it! Ha ha.

I thought penalty first time I saw it, then agreed with the ref the second time! I think the foul was just outside, but Brown went down inside.

It’s being reported as Stokes goal from a Brown cross???
Doesn’t matter to me, get in!!!

What we want now is a clean sheet. Dig in lads, we can do it.

Didn't look like anyone else touched it to me, but perhaps Stokes touched it?

Stokes off injured now! Hope it isn't serious. Songo'o in defence.
