Alan Rogers
 
Thanks, but no thanks.
Had a decent game & distributed well but we can not afford stupidity in our squad - had he made contact with the player he could have broken both of his legs.
Idiot.

Good performance. Used his experience and helped organise the defence.

...because our defence was brilliantly organised today :rolleyes::confused:

organised them from a back four into a back three?

organised them into a sloppy defenders error for goal no 1 and a goalkeeping error for goal number 2?

Sorry I'm with Shakermaker on this.

He won't get the sack for it and probably neither should he, but the tackle was horrendous and I didn't see enough quality in him to overshadow that stupidity. Hopefully he will miss a couple more than the three match ban and come back to be a hero for us in the run-in. If he doesn't then he wont be here next season.

Re: Alan Rogers
 
I thought he looked ok today, although the sending off was fully justified.

He's not the only player to jump in two footed and continue to play for the club. Richardson has done a few and been sent off for the two footed lunge.

Just in.... Coley's been in touch with the football league saying he's made a mistake - he thought he was signing Luke Rogers

Clean sheet for over 70 minutes. The two goals were fluke errors. Yes he deserved the red but he played well until he went off.

Re: Alan Rogers
 
the tackle was extremely violent and no need i n that position (on the wing/half way line just in their half for those that weren't there). But it was the afters that did him for me. You shouldn't be squaring up to people on your debut let alone swinging.

we were IMMENCE today. Alright we conceded two goals but straight after the kick-off we were straight on the attack again. We just need a natural FIT finisher and at the moment we dont have one ... except McGivern but obviously hes buggared for this season

And btw we ARE NOT GOING DOWN .. we have LOADS of injuries and when they're all back which they will be soon then we will be on fire..

And if coley and jimmy dont know what their doing in defence then why are we in the football league and have had 3 championships in about 5 or 6 years..??

Re: Alan Rogers
 
Notts County were crap though and they were there fpr the taking. Except for bits of interplay involving Todd an A.N. OTHER there was little or no football played. We keep trying to put it over the heads of defenders and play in expert passes rather than trying to play around them. Too often the ball is played and two players run on for it only for the defender to easily intercept and then play forward when we are two men lighter.

Mullin is still good enough but he is constantly doing the job of two or three others, he was still running and closing down on the wing with only seconds to go. The midfield is the biggest problem and always has been. I like Proccy and have been one of his biggest advocators...... but it aint happening for him this year. The full backs are not supporting the midfield adequately enough and this makes us lighter in that area but more importantly puts pressure straight back onto the defenders when play breaks down - which is does time and time again. Lets put people in there favoured positions firstly. Just because Rocky is one of the favoured centre backs does not make him our second choice midfielder for example, just because Boco can play midfield doesn't mean we should play our third choice striker and put Boco in midfield for example. Put the best player for that position in that position and then see whats left and try to bridge the gaps. I know we are heavy on injuries at the moment but we have been doing this all season long and it has done us nothing.

19 games left Mr Coleman, lets see what you've got

When we beat Wrexham the first time we were a different team. The cup wins are meaningless and we all know that. The League table doesn't lie. That team we have right now is not good enough for this league. It is a bottom half Conference team at best.

I have no doubt that we will collect a few more wins before the end of the season. Where we end up though is anybody's guess right now.

I also have no doubt that next season will bring more highs than this one has no matter which league we are in.

I have no doubt that before the end of the season we will all be celebrating something Stanley and days like today will be forgotten.

Stan-er-ly,

Its not often that T.M. and I agree, but on this occasion He IS right............we were bloody awful today, and if you could see your way to removing those Rose tinted glasses you must be wearing then you too would see what He means!

We all pay our money to watch, and in all honesty the performance today was not worth £13/£15/£8.........we were at best poor and at worst shambolic.

Rogers, IMHO, showed some class at times today, but the sending off was right for what was a stupid and extremely dangerous tackle, and then to come out swinging just exacerbated the problem......NO EXCUSE.

Finally, I'm sorry but I must question your command of the English language, do you actually know what the word 'immense' means?........:D

Re: Alan Rogers
 
Bury did us a big favour today. 2-0 down against torquay, scored 2 late on to snatch a draw. if torquay would have won, they would have been within 3points!

Also in the Bury times there was a letter from a bury season ticket holder who had gone to the game on boxing day against us. he said he was embarrassed by their fans behaviour as they were chanting rude things whilst the opera singer was singing nessun dorma. He was annoyed as we had helped them during their troubled times!

Everyday i look at the bbc website in the transfer section hoping for some new signings, i must look 10 times a day and i'm always bloody disappointed. It must be really hard to try and convince good players to come to the club. If you were Luke Rodgers for instance, would you come?

i didnt go to todays game so cant comment, sounds like we were poor

sparkie 13-01-2007 18:43

Re: Alan Rogers
 
Oh give it a rest.

All those results came at a time when everyone was fit and no-one had left for pastures new. Having Boco back today didn't give us the lift we had hoped for either but he's gonna need time to get back into it too.

Here's how I see the situation as it stands:-

Goalkeepers :- we have 2 very decent goalkeepers who are unfortunately making errors at the moment and seem to be lacking in confidence. I my opinion the exit of Andy Dibble and his coaching have been the prime reason for this, and we all know that Coley doesn't know what the hell to do with goalkeepers apart from shout at them and blame them for everything!!!

Defence :- Almost the same unit as last year, the problem for me appears to be the lack of consistancy. Last year the defence had someone to turn to in Cooky that they could ask questions and turn to for advice, this year they had Dibble, He's gone and now they're feeling the effects of their own lack of assurance on top of that of the goalkeepers lack of confidence. Can I just say as well that we've never had the best of defenses and Coleys reign is certainly not glowing with watertight defending!!! This year the mistakes are being punished, last year they weren't. Simple as.

Midfield :- For me this were our problems are at their biggest. We've all got to accept the loss of Gary and Ian has been mortally wounding, you don't just lose the player you lose there impact on the rest of the team and mostly their goals. We have some good players in replacement but I honestly don't think you can just replace players of that caliber and not miss them terribly. The problem is that we've replaced two fairly polished gems with two rough looking diamonds in Harris and Whalley, they're gonna need time to polish up and we haven't got it.

Strikers :- We haven't got a killer. We haven't got a guarenteed 20 goals a season man, we've got a few lads that will chip in with anything up to 10 a season and we've got mully who'll always provide a threat in the air and get us 15 or so goals. But we need a killer more than ever now as we're no longer going to get the goals from midfield that we've enjoyed for the last couple of seasons, I actually thought Leighton McGivern could be it but with him out for the season I now believe we're sadly lacking.


And then there's Mr Rogers, not quite the donkey a few of you are making him out to be, I thought he was lucky to get away with a few things in the first half but generally he kept the back line talking and his reading of the game was probably the best on the park today, if we're going to survive we may need all the experience he carries with him. However, the tackle that saw him sent is probably the worst I've seem on the FES in a good many years and if his experience is to count for anything then he needs to learn that relegation dogfight doesn't actually mean put your fists up son your next!!! The jury is out, I just hope we're not.

Re: Alan Rogers
 
Rogers looked good to me today before the red mist came down. What on earth was the Radio Lancashire bloke on about after the match? "County defender's bad tackle and Rogers raised arm".
What we are crying out for is a holding midfielder instead of the present crash bang wallop tactic, although I am hoping Harris can take this role on when available.
County were crap but have a big, strong, fast defence - the type which we are finding difficult to break down after the loss of our 2 quality players.
Elliott redeemed himself for his error with some good saves in the second half, but will we ever have a goalie who is reliable enough?
We have never satifactorily replaced Jamie Speare in my opinion.
Good job other results went for us today - how can we get 3 points on Tuesday with yet another re-scrambled defence? By the way, where was Rikki Bains today?

Re: Alan Rogers
 
Overall stanley played quite badly.
We seem to look ok when we are on attack, we can pass the ball very well at times. We cant seem to finsh any chances at the moment though.
But when we dont have the ball we seem to look very nervous.(beause the team know we need to win) The defence don't know whether their coming or going. Swapping them around all the time must unsettle them EG dont know who is doing what, but this cant be helped until we find a good back four that can play together.

I think we will be able to stay up this season if we can find a gd back four that can play together. A stong centre mid, and a striker.

AND START TO PLAY LIKE THE STANLEY WE KNEW LAST SEASON !!!!!!

Good post this Sparkie... A lot of truth, we havent replaced Cookie or Dibbs and their lies a problem ? what Football League experience is their at the FES ?? We have lost two members of staff with Approx 1000 games and 25 years of league experience between them, Their is some experience of the FL on the the board but is it called upon ?? Eric and Coley want to do it their way and yes i applaud their previous efforts but is our lack of all round experiance causing us problems ??.

What we need now is some good solid pro's who can play and help coach, players who have been in this position before players who have the know how.

I wasnt at todays game so i cant comment on Rogers.

Having had a rant my belief is we may hit some form, we arnt a bad side just a side lacking in confidence which i thought was regained at Wrexham ! I feel we are better than a number of sides in the league but we need some consistency !!! the lack of discipline isnt helping here.:eek:

I still believe we will finish comfortably :) but we need to wake up on and off the pitch FAST.

Like Sparkie's post, this too is excellent. We must get Cooky back on board ASAP!! And we must find a goalkeeping coach to assist. Neither of these posts are to undermine John and Jimmy, but embellish and improve on what is happening now!
Like you, I cannot comment on Mr Rogers, but if what I have read is true, then 3 games will be lucky for us. Indiscipline is one thing we must stamp on (no pun intended) NOW and players must be fined heavily for any indiscipline. We can be better than our position is, as we were earlier in the season.
Most of the supporters stated that 3rd bottom of the league at the end of the season would be a success, but I for one do not want to live on my nerves for the next four months. :eek:

Can't be at the game on Tuesday either, due to work commitments, I will always be willing the Reds on and hoping we can get another 3 points, but games are running out and I fear we will be the laughing stock of the Conference if we go back down so soon after promotion.

Yes, the likes of Morecambe singing, "Stanley are back", doesn't bear thinking about. [I use Morecambe as an example because we can rely on them still being there. :) ]

As for Mr.Rogers, can't better Shakermaker's thread starter, thanks but no thanks. What does Coley have against Edwards?????

We were actually a lot better today than against Boston, but losing against two such poor teams is hard to take. Cart On Stanley.

longballking 13-01-2007 20:51

Re: Alan Rogers
 
I thought Rogers had a great game before the sending off. His long throw caused chaos in the county box and i thought he was our best player by a mile until his early bath. After he went we struggled to create many chances.

Richardson has been solid all season and doesn't deserve to be dropped but that doesn't mean he can play in any position, Rikki Bains has done well and didn't deserve to be sacraficed for the need to play Richardson. The first goal came from that side and the move should have been nipped in the bud before the ball hit the back of the net. Coley obviously has a problem in that he has to keep the players happy and playing first team football but if your playing lads out of their favoured position they will still give 100% but they will be out of there depth.

I honestly thought the wrexham game was a turning point for us. It was the best i've seen us play in some time, we looked lethal going forward. What has happened?

shakermaker 13-01-2007 20:56

Re: Alan Rogers
 
I really wonder why we signed Rogers.

Surely what we need is a right back?
Not shifting a left back with a right foot to right back.

Redraine 13-01-2007 23:16

Re: Alan Rogers
 
We've got a ****** good right back in Edwards, if only Coley would play him REGULARLY in that position. He's our best bet by far in that position and should be the first player on our team sheet.

Revived Red 14-01-2007 10:59

Re: Alan Rogers
 
I think that a back four of Edwards, Williams, Welch, Richardson is as good as any in League 2. What they need is the chance to play as a unit regularly. If Rogers proves to be any good, he could move to left back with Leam Richardson pushed up to a defensive midfield role. Apart from injury, this defensive unit has been disrupted by too many suspensions. Good coaching will teach them that there will be cover for a lost/missed tackle, and that desperate foul tackles to foil an attack (the reason for so many yellow cards in the game at Bristol) are not necessary.

It was right in front of me & yes it did.
Rogers jumped and went in two footed, I think the County player actually slid under him! Like I said earlier; had Rogers made contact the opposition player would be very very lucky to play football again.

Yes, agree; only been picked as starting line-up once this season! Would use Bains as cover, has been OK when played (was he not fit yesterday?).

Rogers - got him as an experienced Pro; so what the heck was he doing? :o :mad:

Is Greg Challender doing nowt, he'd be cheaper :rolleyes: .

According to the Observer, Rogers has been signed on a month's loan, so possibly that could be his first and last match for us? Although, I don't know how sound their information is...if he wasn't with a club, then who's he on a month's loan from? :confused:

I'm afraid thats exactly what he did Redraine, Ricki wasn't ill or injured because he was asked in the bar after the game and said no, when asked why he thought he hadn't even been on the bench poor lad just shrugged his shoulders. I'm a big fan of Leam Richardson's but he was lost at right back yesterday, ok if we had no-one else to fill that position but as has been said before - what about Phil Edwards? Also the substitution of Toddy (by far our best player this season so far) for Mangy mystified me

I agree Bains should not have been sacrificed as hes been playing well as R/back, the 4 games hes been involved in proofs that, why change a winning team. Does anyone know why he wasn't picked?

Mercedes 14-01-2007 16:23

Re: Alan Rogers
 
why was Edwards not playing should be a regularly first team player, solid defender, does JC know what he's doing?

sorry but I feel he hasn't a clue

Re: Alan Rogers
 
Baines wasn't playing because obviously like others before him his face does not fit, the lad looks really promising too me. Coleman is being far to loyal certain players who quite frankly are out of their depth (including the management come to think of it).

On another note can the club please issue Mr Rogers with a larger pair of shorts for his next appearance, those yesterday were sprayed on, no wonder he wanted an early bath!

To not have Bains on the bench, instead of Doherty, was strange indeed, (especially with Welchy struggling with an injury at present).

Why change a winning team? Thanks for that, made me laugh ;) .

Re: Alan Rogers
 
How can Baines face not fit he's gorgeous if only I was 18 years younger,
your right JC needs to get his finger out, and put players on that perform and give 100% every game, the likes of Edwards, Baines and Jacobs. Will be pleased to see Dunbavin back a.s.a.p

Mercedes 14-01-2007 16:38

Re: Alan Rogers
 
what I meant was that we have conceded less goals playing Edwards and Baines.

glad I made you laugh
