Squad14 Dec 2026

Aidan Borland is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 19 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Player ratings14 Dec 2026

Ben Thompson did the work nobody counts — 7.07

16 combined actions and 7.07. The job he did is the one that shows up as other people looking good, and the only reliable way to notice it is to watch what happens on the afternoons he is missing.

A falling-out at Accrington Stanley

Chris Sze and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad14 Dec 2026

James Scott out for 21 days

The medical room confirms 21 days on the sidelines for James Scott, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Squad14 Dec 2026

Words at Accrington Stanley training over how hard people work

Accrington Stanley share the spoils with Swindon Town

A 1‑1 draw with Swindon Town leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

Brad Collins gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Brad Collins is on it.

The dugout14 Dec 2026

No hiding place for Liam Coyle

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Liam Coyle, and the manager let it.

Market14 Dec 2026

Accrington Stanley and Ben Thompson are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Zack Nelson due for a Accrington Stanley medical

Everything agreed with another club, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Farrend Rawson signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Farrend Rawson commits to Accrington Stanley for another 3 years.

Isaac Sinclair in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Accrington Stanley this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Too dear: Accrington Stanley walk away from Ben Wilson

$110.0K was the most the club would pay and Coventry City were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

West Bromwich Albion tell Accrington Stanley: Layton Love is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Accrington Stanley promote Richard Ellis from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Richard Ellis has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

James Scott steps up from the Accrington Stanley academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. James Scott has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Michael Parker steps up from the Accrington Stanley academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Michael Parker has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
