[scout]

As a observer at the shrewsbury game yesterday i couldn't help wondering where the team cohesion was,i'm not sure that the manager was sure what was happening.I know there are limited resources at stanley but where has the fire gone that i normally associate with accrington stanley,from my observers point of view the performance wouldn't have done anything to give the fans any optimism.Also there is no cussion now of 20 and 30 points deducted from other teams to rely on,unless the team start playing to there potential pretty quick then the trapdoor will beckon.I know it's early days yet but time moves rather quickly these days and mid season will be upon us before we know it,no dteriment intended but one of your forum members (mcr adim) seems to think accy will be around the play off places come the end of the season,either he knows something the other accy fans don't or he's looking through rose tinted glasses.Having also observed the northampton game as well i sadly don't share his optimism,at the end of the day a manager is responsible for team performances and mr coleman sadly seems to be using players out of position and use of the substitute system has me baffled,things need to change rapidly if he's to save himself from the chop.In the words of that scots geyser at old trafford (squeaky bum time) comes round damn quick,it would be a shame to see stanley slip back into non league football but if things don't improve then that may become a stark reality.I for one hope you turn things around and progress up the table,good luck for the rest of the season,i think you may need it.
