He is on a 2 year deal, so if he does go then we will get some cash for him, but I would be surprised if he does go, his time will come. :) :)

No he didnt put 2 fingers up, but deliberately ran in front of the section that where rightly having a go at Miles when he scored. Abit childish if you ask me. Yes you made your point Coley but remember we have been paying and watching Stanley alot longer that you and Jimmy have!!!

Fair play to Miles for picking himself up and scoring 2. But lets see how he is next week shall we. As no doubt he is in the team till the end of the season now.

Must say that I like what is going on with the website and this sort of post match report! Keep up the good work :)



Match Reaction.

Sunday 21st Feb 2010.

Boss praises performance.

John Coleman had nothing but encouragement for his players after they defeated Bradford City 2-0 at the Crown Ground.


The victory came thanks to a brace from John Miles and was the perfect tonic to a run of three games without a win including the midweek disappointment at Lincoln.


“It’s a massive three points,” said Coleman. “We knew we were getting progressively better with our performances and thankfully we turned a decent performance into three points. It makes up a little bit for Tuesday but we can’t pass up too many more opportunities if we want to get where we want to get.”


Both goals came in the second half after a cagey first 45 minutes that was a long way from a classic. But the show of resilience and patience from his men left the Stanley manager delighted.


“I thought it was a very professional performance. They worked ever so hard and we produced some good passing movements. We had a little bit of a let off early in the second half when the lad blazed over the bar but apart from that they haven’t carved out a chance in open play.


“We scrambled a corner away but that was about them then; that’s all they had. We were a constant threat all day, on the front foot and wanted to take the game to them even when they threw four up front at the end.”


Having only made one change from the side that lost at Sincil Bank, Coleman admitted that he was happy with the response he got.



“I think the players should take all the praise because they’re the ones that have worked their socks off to get the three points and they realise how big they are.”

Re: Match Thread; Home v Bradford City
 

Re-read your post, then mine matey :) Jimmy, Chris and Phil on 2 year deals :)

Re: Match Thread; Home v Bradford City
 

Wasn't thrilling but as soon as ball hit the deck we ran rings round them, until they got it hoof ball. Would like to thank the ultras the non stop songs, the new one keeps singing in my ears - whens the cd out lol. Well done Miles tho when u think he's not in the game at all he puts 2 in the net.

What do you mean by that?

Re: Match Thread; Home v Bradford City
 

meant to say "before" he scored.

as he did his usual nothing for 80 + mins.

Re: Match Thread; Home v Bradford City
 

Right, I see. I'm getting fed up of all this moaning. I suppose the same "fans" were having a go at Miles when he was brutally catapulted into the snow drift by one of Bradford's heavies when challenging for the ball? People who say we were poor obviously weren't at Northampton. Every game in this division is a physical battle and Stanley won this one. If Bradford were poor it was because Stanley made them look poor. The way our front men came back at their huge centre halves after taking a battering all through the first half was admirable. All credit to Coley for motivating the team, and I don't blame him one little bit for reminding the moaners that it doesn't help the lads one little bit to give them stick during the game. By all means criticise them after the match, but for crying out loud lets celebrate a massive 3 points. The Ultra's support for the team has been worth a hatful of points this season. Just think what a difference it would make if the main stand would take a leaf out of their book.

Re: Match Thread; Home v Bradford City
 

I now take residence in main stand and THEY do sing and clap along to the ultras we are loving the new songs which i cant get out of my head atm! Just cos clayton end is louder doesnt mean we have no voice and dont get behind our team, we do all hail main standers!

Re: Match Thread; Home v Bradford City
 

I was at Northampton and ill have you know ive only missed 3 games all season home AND away.

I never said we where poor yesterday, I thought the whole team played a good game (with the exception of Miles for 70 mins ish,)

And yes whilst I agree it was a great 3 points yesterday and I have nothing but respect for what Coley & JB have done for us over the years, the manner in which Coley conducted himself yesterday was slighty over the top, in my opinion. (and nobody else's)

Only the fan's are the constant at a club at not the manager or players and If I feel somebody is having a poor game ill voice my opinion to do so.

That is a given right of a paying SEASON TICKET holder dont you think???
