John Coleman quote

"If we lose against Torquay next week, we are down"

also Kaz has concussion, big mistake letting him carry on

Mauro has a suspected fractured cheekbone and bleeding in his eye

No keeper on the bench. Genius. Utterly genius.

Bloody heck doesn't make good reading at all, dont feel inspired at all. I thought it was brave of Shrek tho i dont think he had a lot of choice in the matter, he really should of gone off but with no darn goalkeeper on the bench i suppose that made it worse, wonder if any goalie is going to be fit enough for next week????

Poor mauro thats another out altho i didnt think it was as bad as that

What is coley playing at????? Gee no wonder our own players weren't inspired & why apathy with fans is getting worse even he is negative pinning all hopes on Torquay. I think a reconsideration for management if we are to stay or attempt to go back up

shakermaker · 10-03-2007, 17:08

I see your point Accymel but I think this is just Coley being realistic.

A good manager would not 'if' but would be kicking backsides into making a win happen & not taking defeat for an answer well not unless its there!! Our players look to our manager for instructions & encouragement, going off todays match that obviously hasn't happened.

Best for the boss to say nothing till Monday AM.Give oneself time to chill and be more proactive rather than reactive.

Well he's just been quoted as saying that

it sounds to me as he's given up the fight, ah well will order more fags for torquay & some tissues for either joy or the worst! Its going to be one nervy ride is that one.

Good point Mel..I smoked my last rolly just after the game.7 AM now so I'll twadle down to the village and repemish supplies.Think as i get through this 30 degree day looming,that I'll be dwelling too much on result, getting 'down',smoking more and consuming copious quantities of TUI.

I would suspect that JC has been doing that all season. It just hasn't worked. I'm not going to criticise the team for not being good enough. It's not their fault.

Torquay kept a clean sheet today, which is something we're incapable of doing. When you are scrapping for every point, a 1-0 win can make a real difference. We're never going to do that. We have to score 2 or 3 to even have a chance of anything. It's very poor.

Isn't that what the Ultras have been telling us......'Johnny Coleman football genius'.

I think they should revise that particular chant.

If he said this then he is resigned to the fact that the players he stuck with wernt good enough, as he kept on telling us they were. Its not the response id be wanting if i was eric.

How many times in a season does a keeper come? and we are fighting for our lives, we need all the options and i think Coley has mede the right decision to choose 5 outfield players IMO, I doubt many times in a game Coley thinks...hmm i think im gonna swap keepers, do you?

Keep The Faith!

The one time he did swap keepers (Watford) he later admitted was a mistake. Just as well Man U had a spare keeper today!

When things were going so badly wrong against Bristol Rovers in December. no sub was used!!! What about the options then?
