any fit players for tomorrow?
 

cav, tretts, rocky and welchy all missing from the back four. shame Julien went this week he may have played if he weren't injured as well

back four for tomorrow? Ventre, Baynes, Edwards and Leam maybe

Proctor and Boco deffo out of midfield, maybe Harris as well would mean Craney having to come back to midfield prob alongside Byrom. Todd and Sean make up that quartet. Mully and Brown? Elliot to win back his place tommorrow? That would make four of the team being usual first teamers, five if you include Sean (wasn't regular until Gary went three games ago). Can you get fined for playing an under strength team?

Have we enough people for the bench? Are Coley and Jimmy gonna put their trackies on tomorrow? Oh well Horwich beat us with a patched up side and only three subs including their 42 year old manager playing with a bandage round his head like a turban!

Re: any fit players for tomorrow?
 

Can we not call Foyle Back?

Re: any fit players for tomorrow?
 

McGivern is available to play

Re: any fit players for tomorrow?
 

so the bench would read Mangan, Elliot or Bavs, Foyle (if we can get him back) and McGivern?




Stan,, get Grimmy on!!

Re: any fit players for tomorrow?
 

I bet Welchy plays; I think Baines would acquit himself well, though; looked sound in the reserves games I've seen.

Bit ironic that Foyle goes on loan because of lack of games, then misses a possible place in the line up! He should be back for next week.

I do think with those two we have got decent cover for the centre half spots - Phils fine, particularly against nippy strikers, but is less effective if he comes up against anyone too tall!

Re: any fit players for tomorrow?
 

So the squad players will get a chance then will they? Good cos they can't be any worse than Cav and Williams....there we go I have said it and I feel a lot better now. And another thing too, no matter if they play a blinder you can bet your arse that they will be dropped for the next game if the two aforementioned will be available again!...WHY!!!!!

What Elliot has to do to get a regular game is well beyond me. And whilst Iam at it, why spend an entire summer chasing a player (N'da) and then simply refuse to give the fella a chance.

Rant over!!

Re: any fit players for tomorrow?

toddy (RM)
craney (CM)
byrom (CM)

Mully(CF)

Depending on mangys performance McGivern should come on at half time

Re: any fit players for tomorrow?
 

Just heard Mullin could be out as he has been in all week
:(:(

Re: any fit players for tomorrow?
 

Yep it's in the L.E.T tonight.

Re: any fit players for tomorrow?
 

I used to be one of the anti Rocky fans - but to be fair, I have to say recently, he has acquitted himself very well. Even Cav, who I thought was a yard to slow earlier in the season has come on leaps and bounds, but, and it is a big BUT, it is time to give some of the squad players a chance. I personally would give Ricki Baines a chance in midfield and Danny Ventre (welcome back BTW) a defensive berth. As for the goalies, I am not convinced. Robbie Elliott did wonders for us last season, but I haven't seen too much this except for the Blackpool game when he let in 4 goals. Defensively both teams were rubbish that night, but to be fair he saved the penalties, but so did Bav's at Mansfield to keep us in the game but is prone to errors (Hereford the most recent). Maybe it is time for the Charlton stopper to be given a run. Whatever happens this weekend, ie win, lose or draw Lets keep the faith with JC, He knows what he is doing and he is paid for his decisions.

JOHNNY COLEMAN FOOTBALL GENIUS

Have you friggin forgot 3 promotions

:(

See you ALL at Mansfield?

Re: any fit players for tomorrow?
 

every season he proves the doubters wrong heres for another might lose tomorrow but as long as we stay up thats what i would have been happy with at the beginning of the season and then build on it eveything else :Banane28: :) is a bonus just thinking he,ll probably prove me wrong tomorrow.....
cmon stanley we are staying up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: any fit players for tomorrow?
 

It's all very well saying "I would" or "I would play" or "the system should be" etc. But at the end of the day, all the supporters see is the odd 90 minutes at the end of the week. Coley sees the players day in, day out at training. He knows who's doing what, how fit the players are etc and spends the week preparing to play a side he believes can win. To say he only plays Cav and Rocky for sentimental reasons is utter tripe. Coley always plays to win and if he thought for a second any player was hindering the side, I have no doubt he would drop them.

3 promotions
The 01/02 treble. etc

The man is God.

KEEP THE FAITH!!!!:engsmil:

Re: any fit players for tomorrow?
 

Please tell me what Mr Coleman has to do to get some acknowledgement for the advancements this club has made under his watch. Are you saying that, given the same level of support from the chairman, anyone could have achieved the same results? Do the skills and experience he brings to the manager's position mean nothing? Perhaps we should take turns drawing a team out of a hat prior to each match and save the money spent on the coaching staff.

Re: any fit players for tomorrow?
 

Totally agree with you, MR. John Coleman's achievements are nothing short of miraculous. Seven years ago, we were just another struggling non-league club in Unibond One. Our progress since then would be amazing enough if we had a Dave Whelan/Jack Walker-type figure pouring money in or if we had the crowds thronging through the turnstiles. The fact that he and Jimmy have done it on a shoestring budget with spectacularly mediocre gates illustrate why he is a "football genius". Of course, he makes mistakes and of course, fans have the right to criticize him, but comments like "even a broken watch is right twice a day" he does not deserve!
