I'm just wondering what's going on with Phil Edwards, as I'd like to see a 4-4-2 with: GK: Dunbavin RB: Edwards LB: Richardson CB: Roberts CB: Williams RM: Cavanagh LM: Branch (only left footed player, only player other than Cav who can cross from the wing) CM: Craney CM: Proctor ST: Mullin ST: DSane (subs Fearon Webb Harris Brown McGivern) |
Re: Coleman & Bell
if not Dunbain the Harris was my MOM tonight, Otherwise then I agree with 2 good attacking full backs playing the 'wings'

Re: Coleman & Bell
From the Accy Observer Dec. 2002.
IN MARCH 1958, Accrington Stanley were challenging strongly for promotion to the Second Division of the Football League. Their manager, a young Scot named Walter Galbraith, had just been the subject of an approach by Blackpool, then a First Division club. The Accrington Observer reckoned six reserve team youngsters were each worth £2,000 on the transfer market, such was the calibre of the playing staff. The ambition of the club was underlined the following month by their purchase of a grandstand, for which planning permission had already been obtained. From these facts alone, it would seem that Accrington Stanley was a robust organisation. All the more baffling that Stanley would resign from the Football League four years later, a mere shell of the vibrant club..... Why on earth is there this sort of thread running on this forum? I remember going to Belper and Stocksbridge, and even Maghull and Atherton Collieries to watch Stanley play league games. The sort of Johny-cum-latelies who want Coley's head after a couple of disappointing results, in Football League Two, don't know they're born. When Coley took over we had just endured relegation and had had about seven managers in the process. Coley brought stability, three promotions and year on year improvement in our league position. There may be some dim wits prepared to run the risk of history repeating itself by letting go of the most successful manager in the club's history. Thankfully Eric Whalley doesn't come under that category. |

Re: Coleman & Bell
Bit of a ****** now for anyone to change their votes after last nights performance:(
A change is definately a must somewhere we have given them their chances to prove or dis-prove otherwise. |
Re: Coleman & Bell
What happens on Saturday then if Stanley win??? I know a big IF but what happens then, do you still call for Coley's head? There's been enough managerial casualties so far this season already for another one to go and to say Steve Cotterill would want the job you are having a laugh!!!

Re: Coleman & Bell
if they win on saturday it will be a disgrace .if the stanley players cant raise there game to play in front of their own supporters they need to have a long hard look at thereselves they are killing the only chance stanley have to build on our own support.they are killing the club with there inept attitude it wont be long when we see an average home support of 700 and that is not sustainible in the league when you are relying on the away support to make any money on the turnstile .it may be well winning away but the home fans are the clubs bread and butter..

Re: Coleman & Bell
I'm not being funny, I'm honestly not, but that means that whatever the management team do they cannot win!! If they win AWAY from home they are doing wrong because they should be winning AT home!! Surely we should be happy with any win no matter where it is rather than calling it a disgrace!!

Re: Coleman & Bell
I still wouldn't want either of them to go, but the buck stops with the manager whose job it is to motivate players or ship em out.
The back line was crap last year and it hasn't improved this year, however Leam was probably the only defender to come out last year with any kind of credit -yet he has been shoved to the bench or the other side of the field to be replaced by an ageing professional who has the nous but not the legs nor the bottle to play at this level. Rocky has been poor all year yet plays week in week out, Phil Edwards always plays well (usually out of position) given the chance but doesn't get the chance. Boco is supposedly one of our best players yet can't get in the team and when he does he plays as left wing back, David Brown is a forward no matter what anybody says yet plays in midfield, Craney is a midfielder who ends up playing up front. The first two years in the Conference we pi$$ed about with formations and it got us nowhere, third year we went back to 4-4-2 and won the damn thing. Let's get back to 4-4-2 and play the right players in their right positions and swap them about if they play badly. Edwards at right back, Webb and Robbo in the middle, Leam at left back - Harris or Proctor and Craney in the engine room with whomever you want playing down the wings - Mullin and any one from Boco/Roscoe/McGivern up front. Whatever players or formation we put out it needs to change if it aint working, and at home it isn't. Has it not been identified that things aren't working at home? has it not been identified that one or two players are not performing on a regular enough basis? These are some of the reasons why we aren't happy. And we know Coley isn't happy either - but he has to start showing us why we consider him to be a good manager and he can start by making wholesale changes to the shower that played last night. |
Re: Coleman & Bell
All this talk of getting rid of Coley and Bell is pie in the sky, Eric Whalley will never sack them, He could never afford to bring in a League Manager. If the players are only on half the League average wages, according to the Club, then it would stand to reason that the Management Team would be on only half the average Managers wages. Would Eric pay sixty grand or more to get a mediocre lower League Manager in, I think not. We will just have to plod along with what we have and I mean plod along, until such times as the dwindling gates call time to our League status,and we go back to the Conference. I don't even think that with the present team that we would hold our own in that division. so come on Coley show us what you can do, watch other Managers tactically and learn, or you will take us back from where you brought us.
