Put a bit of a dent in t'pension will that !... I'll just have to turn a bar off on't Electric Fire for a day or two and see if I can manage it !!.

Re: Yeovil Game
 

Last time I went to Somerset midweek Lanky won the County Championship.

I doubt many will be able to make it to this game, even though as the manager says it could be key to the season. Wonder if any stay over after Pompey then head west?

Re: Yeovil Game
 

Wonder if tickets will be avaiable from Stanley store ,or when ?

Re: Yeovil Game
 

If you mean online the answer will be No

Re: Yeovil Game
 

Same team??? 5 loan players since Beattie left!

Be interesting to see how the tactical genius copes when he is left with the same team that Beattie had

Re: Yeovil Game
 

Fair point Frank,but you have to admit from day one of Coley coming back,the football played is like chalk and cheese.

Re: Yeovil Game
 

Fran moody,
beattie signed his players, he had 3 transfer windows to make changes and signings.

when coley has had 3 transfer windows to make changes, then judge him by the same criteria you judge beattie

Re: Yeovil Game
 

Northampton away was superb n that was down to the guy who left this week, those 2 had not even took training at that point.

Re: Yeovil Game
 

Mr. T / LancsDave,

does a FA cup 2nd round replay ticket stub, guarantee a 3rd round ticket?

If the club can guarantee a fa cup 3rd round ticket, it may increase the number of travelling fans.
We need as much support as possible for such a long trip on a mid week night.

Re: Yeovil Game
 

And Coley's loan signings and tactics made the difference.

Does Stephenson get your credit for the defeat at Oxford?

Re: Yeovil Game
 

There was none made they had only been back a couple of days max.

Re: Yeovil Game
 

As far as I know the only thing that would guarantee a ticket for any game is a season ticket. No decision made that I know. Any previous comments I made were only made on a personal suggestion, no official line. I'm not even party to any decision making on that score, I just decide what goes in the shop :)

Re: Yeovil Game
 

Was simply making the point that someone suggested it was the same team which it isn't, no need to get so defensive coley superfan. When coley has bullied his way through 3 transfer windows we will indeed judge.

Btw it's Frank

Re: Yeovil Game
 

OK Fran

Re: Yeovil Game
 

No problem DAFT007

Re: Yeovil Game
 

Just a point but Beattie and Stevo wanted O'Sullivan for months but only peanuts was made available,suddenly Coley gets him for I believe many times what was available to Beattie.Many other decent loan deals fell by the wayside for the same reasons.

Re: Yeovil Game
 

The only daft thing about DAV is his trolling round Liverpool dressed as a Tranny,I believe he bumps into Coley in the supermarket.Hmmmm???

Re: Yeovil Game
 

Jonno is probably one of the best players I've seen at Acci in the last five years,but correct me if I am wrong,but our games against Yeovil and county,nine of the players were Here when JB was in charge.
My point is that,Coley has stuck to his "two holding players" system and the players now know the system/pattern,where JB and Steve tried it,but didn't get results,so opted to go long and fight for the second balls.
Who knows what the outcome would have been if they had persevered with it,but for sure it's worked for Coley and it's exciting to watch

Re: Yeovil Game
 

Coleman is a better manager than Beattie. That isn't to say Beattie is a bad manager (or could become a better one too, over time).

We're passing the ball better, attacking more, it seems like we're scoring more goals (would have to check) and I'm enjoying the football more.

I think comparisons need to take into account exactly how much experience John has. He has been managing football sides for nearly 20 years now. He has a pro licence. He has managed abroad (!). You shouldn't underestimate all this experience. We're lucky to have him given that our budget is so low.

I know we won a couple of games under Beattie this season, but our first 6 games were terrible. I reckon we would have stayed up relatively comfortably, but there was no way we were going to push for the play offs (in my opinion). And I reckon we have a v good chance of challenging for the play offs under John.

I'm enjoying watching the football again. I wasn't under Beattie.

Re: Yeovil Game
 

One might hope (no doubt in vain) that Potter's fair summary of the Beattie - Coleman debate would be the last word on the topic.
As some have said, support the club and team, and not just a particular player or manager. The former are forever and the latter are for now.
Back to the challenge of Yeovil anyone...?

Re: Yeovil Game
 

It was said on here that Coley signed 5 loan players (O'Sullivan, Maguire, Moly, Can't remember the other 2) for the price of what Kayode was costing.

So how was only peanuts made available for Beattie?

Re: Yeovil Game
 

My 2 penneth worth. Beatttie better at choosing the right players and getting them in.Coley better at the tactics and motivating them. Our first 11 now in my opinion is a lot more solid than the playoff side and Coley will do absolute wonders with them. Promotion next year if we keep the current squad and maybe get in a decent striker. Mark my words.

Re: Yeovil Game
 

You still haven't 'enlightened' us yet DAV.
So come on ..... What are The FACTS?:confused:
ps. Are you on the board at Stanley? Because if you are you should not be giving out information discussed at meetings, not even tempting 'half bites' like you are suggesting here!
If you are not on the board then you are involving yourself in 'gossip' and 'useless scandle mongering'.
So come on please do TELL.:idunno:
Where do I stand on this issue?..........
.....On the Clayton End 100% behind the team, the board and the Manager.....whoever that happens to be at the time!
ON STANLEY ON:wave8:
