I don't agree with those who are baying for Coley's blood but I do think we've got to ask ourselves who's really in charge these days. When you look back at Coley and Jimmy's record over the last few years at the Stanley we couldn't ask for more. I really don't believe they could have lost all their magic. So what's changed this year?

Paul Cook as coach!! - What's all that about?? Is he responsible for picking the teams? That could explain some of the choice of players. It's like being back at school, picking all your mates for the team(never mind talent and commitment).
And I can't even begin to tell you how my heart sinks whenever he comes on the pitch himself. Groans all around me. I've heard all the talk of experienced player etc. but the way I see it (me just being a girl and all that) he just runs around the pitch like a headless chicken (more often than not away from the ball). For experienced player read has-been. Coley and Jimmy didn't need him to get us promoted. Time to go I'd say.

As someone said earlier, it's not just about getting beaten, it's not even about getting beaten by crummy teams, it's about loyal fans turning up week after week to see a bunch of lads who couldn't give a damn about winning the game. Everyone can have a bad day and make silly mistakes but some players (and we all know who they are) couldn't care less - they're going to get paid anyway.

Frank M came on the bus on Saturday to apologise for the shoddy performance and promised us things would change, I really hope it is true. Some of us will keep on supporting Stanley whatever happens but we can't survive just with the hardcore of fans, we still need the new, "part time" and "fickle" fans that some of you seem to dispise. Not just for the gate income but also to build a bigger permanent fan base.
If we get back to playing good football they will come!
