I have to agree with Carpon and to a certain degree with Qualtrough. I couldnt believe it when i saw that Coley had blamed Kenney Arthur for the first goal on Saturday. It is just another example of how Coley seems to protect and shield Rocky from any criticism. I think Rocky has to accept some responsibility for all three goals conceeded on Saturday. Nobody could doubt the commitment that Rocky has shown over the last few years indeed he has had some briliant games but like Carpon says he has a tendency to switch off. Rocky like every other player has made mistakes in the past that have proved costly however he has always appeared blameless in the eyes of the management team. Contrast this with Welchy who last season was singled out for blame after making mistakes in the away game at Rochdale and not long after left the club? There is no doubt that Coley and Jimmy Bell have worked wonders in resurrecting Stanley and I am sure they will take Stanley even higher, however I think their insistance that Rockys name is one of if not the first name on the team sheet sometimes regardless of his performances is one of the negatives of their reign at Stanley.
