Re: has any1 enjoyed this season?
I`ve enjoyed it but not for whats happened on the pitch, i just enjoy the day out and meeting other fans, i always look forward to Saturdays when Accy are at home and the occasional away match, we somehow managed to survive yet again and it doesn`t matter how we did it (a wing and a prayer really) we can all at least look forward to a new season knowing we will be playing league football, things as they say can only get better, so god willing, i`ll see you all next season, have a good summer everyone and lets hope we can attract a few players that will turn things around for us.

Re: has any1 enjoyed this season?
In retrospect this will be seen as the season when we were defensively exposed. We do not have a defence that can hold on and get a draw. Look at the table , a dozen more draws would seen us in mid table.

Re: has any1 enjoyed this season?
Yes and no...many of the home games have been lacklustre, to say the least, but that's made the occasional victory (Chester and Rotherham away, the Daggers at home) all the sweeter. But, like Haz66, it's not just the game itself, it's what goes with it that I've enjoyed, the craic in the pub with my mates before the match, the atmosphere on the roofed Clayton End which, despite some of the performances, has been magic at times, thanks to the Ultras. Some of the experiences I've had on my little awayday trips, too...going in the roughest pub in the world in Rotherham (and surviving), admiring the "scenery" in Hooters Bar in Nottingham ;) and lots more. And most of all, I've enjoyed the quiet satisfaction of being a football league fan - a feeling I thought I'd never experience again.
Call me crazy if you want, but I'm actually looking forward to next season. Whatever you think of Coley and Jimmy they're staying and, personally, I reckon that even if we got a new manager in, he would struggle with the resources he has. The only way the club could go forward is if Eric sells to someone with more financial clout, but he seems determined to stay, so there's no point in even worrying about it. Whatever the future holds, I'm just going to enjoy next season and take each match as it comes. Now I must go and check on the directions for that great little real ale pub near Port Vale's ground...:cool: |

must admit for the 1st time it wasnt coleys fault in my opinion. We had 5 clear chances and didnt score 1. They had 3 chances and scored twice, THAT was the DIFFERENCE |

I'm confused. If Roscoe was so good which rival football league club did he get shipped out to ? |
Re: has any1 enjoyed this season?
he was actually a good finisher unlike any1 in the club now
|
Re: has any1 enjoyed this season?
How many one-on-ones did he miss? Loads of them!
I do agree that we have missed a Dsane type striker and it's had an impact on our season. Someone to play off Mullin and with a bit of pace is essential for next season. The thing is, every manager in the country is looking for the same thing and Stanley aren't really in a position to compete. |
Re: has any1 enjoyed this season?
I haven't enjoyed many games at all this season. As I've said loads of times, it's not the losing that gets to me (although it doesn't help), it's the way we've played that makes me feel as though I've wasted my time.
I enjoy the social aspect of the games, but the stuff on the pitch has been dire. |

Re: has any1 enjoyed this season?
In answer to your original question no but then I have been Yorkshire based for a number of years and have supported Sheffield Wednesday as well for 32 seasons. So I have had a season of misery on two fronts. I only enjoyed the last 5 minutes of it when they were 4-1 up against Norwich in today's must win game.
Still it could be worse. I could be a Leicester based Wrexham exile. |
Re: has any1 enjoyed this season?
the style of fottball, the ian craney as a striker, the pick ian craney every game even if he isnt fit, the trust in ian dunbavin while kenny was injured, the excuses for defenders, the lack of attacking play, the tacticall cluelessness of 'we will play our game' we only have to worry about ourselves, the high line defending against teams with pace, the awful rehashed excuses from coley, driving home from peterborough soaked on a cold week night, john miles effort,
now add the following 'roscoe d'sane, the awesome performance away at bradford, going to hereford and keeping a clean sheet, the 1st game of the season away at wycombe in the sun and believing we are not just in the leaue to take part, kenny authur, roscoes 2nd goal at home to macclesfield, the roof, the ultras, beer at half time, morecambe till rolls, paul mullins effort overall - i got to be honest, the 1st season mainly down to our type of fottball of trying to outscore the other team was far more exciting. since new year - our style, performances and players attitudes have been woeful. coleman, despite still being the man for the job has showed his limitations in terms of tactics and scouting opposition. dont blame it on the coley, dont blame it on the whalley, dont blame it on the evil blame it on the miles. worst signing of the year, so bad he beat graham branch. |

Re: has any1 enjoyed this season?
None of them do. Craney was surely bought as a midfielder and its his best position. Whalley has been given more chances than anyone to make an impact this season and it just hasn't happened. However, he seems to be a favourite of the management team so he'll probably still be here next season but for me, he just doesn't cut it. His control is poor, he's easily brushed off the ball and he soon gets disheartened. D'sane was small but knew how to use his bodyweight to hold challenges off, Whalley can't do it so I don't see him as a out and out striker and his shot to the corner flag against Daggers said it all. An Andy Bishop type of player would be a superb foil for Mullers......but where do you find him?

Re: has any1 enjoyed this season?
unless we get invesment or something were never really going to afford to buy players like bishop or the wages they will want! will have to look in the lower leagues like we did when we found gary roberts. craney is better played in midfield and when he is on his game he is a match winner

Re: has any1 enjoyed this season?
Have to say I left on Saturday afternoon wondering how we have possibly managed to stay in the league. Absolutely woeful performance against a team that were nothing special.
Amidst all the comments about Coley's great record, 9 seasons of improvement, bla bla bla I don't really see how looking at the past is going to help us in the future. Yes Coley has a great record but he has reached his level. The performances week in week out show that he doesn't have any idea about how to deal with league set ups. Its true that any manager is going to struggle on the wages we pay but we need someone with new ideas and I don't think the time to make a change is when we're already in the mire. We're looking a bit more established now so we should be in a position to attract someone. |

I wasn't say we could afford to buy AB. I was alluding to the type of player that I would prefer to see alongside Mullers next season as someone had previously mentioned Whalley as a striker. If JC is going to unearth a 'gem' this summer (don't we all wish!) then a AB type would be preferred. |

Accrington are in a poor position over all, and that isn't a criticism of the club, but a reality. |
Re: has any1 enjoyed this season?
plenty of young lads who have potential in the conference north who would love a year stint at stanley with the chance to prove themselves.
most porbably wouldnt make it, but at least we would have players who wanted to prove something and play hard. |

What an excellent post - and I share both yours and Haz 66's view of why it is so much fun to go to a match on Saturdays, even though what actually happens to Stanley on the pitch may not always be to our liking ! :( For me, Stanley-watching last season on the two occasions I did get to away matches (at MK Dons and Brentford) was an unmitigated disaster - one goal scored and eight conceded - but it was still fun with all the banter from supporters, even though it was a miserable wet day at MK Dons and freezing cold at Brentford ! :rolleyes: At least next season, I should hopefully be able to make the games at Wycombe, Barnet and Dagenham again, as well as a return trip to Brentford,and now that Aldershot have returned to the League, this becomes my closest fixture yet ! However, I do seriously worry that given our defensive frailties, it might well prove to be third season unlucky, and I'm sure that bookmakers will have us amongst the favourites to go down. I really hope I am wrong - I usually am - but whatever happens, have a great summer everyone and see you next season ! :D |
Re: has any1 enjoyed this season?
Yes....If only to watch, both home and away, the 100% efforts put in EVERY TIME by the most genuine player in the entire Football League.
I don't think anyone will disagree with this assessment and will join me in not only praising PAUL MULLIN'S Skills and application shown in the most difficult position in League 2... as the Stanley's lead (and often ONLY!) Striker...but also wish him all the very best of Good Luck and even better Health for the coming season !. THERE SURELY IS 'ONLY ONE PAUL MULLIN !' What me worry ????.....not with Paul around I don't |
