Re: we are goin down

As I wrote earlier, once we get through this period of suffering, things will start to pick up. This is the lowest point we've had for years, but once we sign a few in January, we'll be back on a roll.

This season was always going to be hard. It's just been harder than anyone expected. Selling players and the amount of injuries we've had, have all played a role. I still feel confident that we'll come back.

You're telling me. It was a great performance at Macclesfield. We got a point which is more than Paul Sturrock and Swindon could manage there yesterday for all them chasing automatic promotion.

Re: we are goin down

Although I can see where Macca is coming from, (he is right in what he says) I can also see the other side of the coin in what TM says. We have to keep hoping and believing that Stanley will come through this terrible patch and rise up once more.

Re: we are goin down

Who are the players we are going to sign in January? Does anyone have the slightest idea?

I was just thinking the same thing. We are all expecting players to come but what if we cant afford them? What if we struggle to attract them?

Is the money from the transfers of craney and roberts definately being used to fund new players?

Without being negative and just an opinion, i dont think we will be able to attract players with reputations in the division, therefore, its either young players with little experience, players from lower divisions with no experience (I was thinking of donaldson at york but apparently he is being chased by clubs with more money and a better league status), or older slower players who have experience but are "past it".

I hope i am wrong but how can we attract really good players to the crown ground? Low crowds, little atmosphere, low wages etc etc.

I am hoping that JC and JB's knowledge of the lower leagues will uncover some gems.

We're all hoping the same thing.

Nobody (in their right mind) is thinking that we're going to be signing top quality players, but the squad as it is at the moment is down to bare bones and that leaves Coleman with no options. Once the squad is replenished we'll be a stronger propostion. Whether that'll be enough is another matter.

Well said Macca - a lot of these who are moaning are the newer fans who have only known the good times. Believe me, it's been worse than this, supporting a football team is a bit like a marriage - you take the good with the bad. Keep the Faith

Talking Re: we are goin down

Despite the heavy defeat at Bristol Rovers on Saturday, I don't for one moment think we will be going down. I am convinced that our present position is due not only to Gary and Ian going (both of which I think were sad for the club), but also incredibly back luck with injuries all happening at the same time, reducing us to the bare bones of a team without being able to sign any permanent new faces.

Up to and including the game at Torquay, we had really got into a groove and were playing well with an unbeaten run of 8 matches - and with 23 games to go (and three teams still below us, despite us being at our lowest point), there is plenty of time to put the ship right and sail to calmer waters in a mid table position. The time to worry is IF (and only if) we get ourselves into a position like Torquay were in last season - six points adrift at the bottom with six matches to go - and then Ian Atkins motivated them sufficiently to escape the drop. Coley is, I am sure, a better manager than Ian Atkins !

We are obviously not going to win the title this season (I think Walsall will do that) and it is very unlikely we will reach a play-off position, but I definitely see this season as being one of consolidation, before we move onwards and upwards to better things in the 2007/2008 season !

So on Stanley on - and good luck for the match with Bury this afternoon !!!

And this season as well, but this season there is now no Ian Atkins. Just out of interest, I wonder which League 2 club has expressed an interest in the current captain at Chester, who according to teletext is on the verge of leaving
