One of my favourite away games of the season. A quaint ground tucked inside a quiet leafy surburban neighbourhood, easy roadside parking and a chip shop nearby.
A nice little club that you would hope survives both relegation and going out of business though you feel that they are in a spot of bother right now. Shame the Accrington public don't support their team that well right now. Only 1,617 for the midweek cup game against Cardiff. There was 1,224 for the visit of Cheltenham last weekend.
Anyway, sentiment will go to one side for 2 games this season and I hope we batter them. We don't do very well there usually but this time we will win quite comfortably;

Brewers Match Predictor (5): Accrington

Accrington are in need of some points and I think they'll probably get one off us 1-1 for me

don't think our defence will be able to stop them from scoring at least one I am going for 2-1 albion

My records show three wins on match day 5. 3-2 at home to Northampton, when we were 3 up after 10 minutes. 3-0 at home to Hereford in 2010 and 1-0 at Rochdale with a spectacular winner from Matt Paterson, if memory serves.
The only reverse was a 2-1 defeat at Accrington two years ago, and I've got a funny feeling the same will happen tomorrow, so that's my prediction. 2-1 to Accrington.

Like most forecasters, I think that we will be a little jaded but I still think our class will pull us through - but only just. I will go for 1.0 with Hussey scoring again.
There is a chance I may not be around for the Oxford game so I will do an early prediction of 2.0 to the Brewers in front of 2654 with Howe and Palmer scoring.

After the Fulham match I have no doubts whatsoever, that we have a squad of players who on the day can beat any team in the land. That said there will be a lot of sore legs still and as we all know Accrington are a hard side to beat. I'm therefore going to predict a 2-2 draw, but will be overjoyed if we win.

Not been able to get my forecast in prior to kick off for various reasons. Would have gone for 1-1 with Rene Howe scoring.
