......and......

If we can see it week in and week out......why don't the dynamic duo see it ???? Blind loyalty ??? I used to think John Miles could be a lazy so and so but "Golden boy " makes Miles look like Gattuso or Yaya Toure !!!!:rolleyes:

Re: Newport County Match Thread!
 

There may be a few ex Accy players available in January. Our new owners seem to be indicating that there will be some serious team strengthening done that month.
Murphy had a 'mare yesterday and will have to pull his socks up. Lee Molineaux flatters to deceive and Jim doesn't seem to have confidence in him.

Re: Newport County Match Thread!
 

Interesting to watch Jimmy's interview after the game yesterday.

Apparently they have read the riot act and their will be changes........ will be interesting to see who plays next weekend.

Re: Newport County Match Thread!
 

yesterday i couldn,t get out of the ground fast enough not even bothering to get my ticket for bradford next week. second best to a side rock bottom in desire, skill and worst of all tactics. plan a doesn,t work at home against sides who sit back and try to catch us on the break and we end up chasing the game like 11 schoolboys running around in circles. we always look like the away side at home. our system might work away from home but at home we need to be more adventurous with a higher tempo. not going to have a go at the players or management as they all can go from zero to hero in a week but if anyone thought yesterdays fiasco was acceptable then they must think the loan ranger was a documentart on the u.s.a. in the 19th.century.

Revived Red - it has taken Coleman about 16 years to take Accrington through several divisions to the point where they are seen as worthy rivals to the likes of Portsmouth, Notts County etc and where fans are disappointed not to be in a playoff position.

Three cheers for the patience that Coleman has shown. Where would we be without it?

Re: Newport County Match Thread!
 

Should people not look forward to better days? I imagine fans of all clubs do that! Patience that our manager has shown is wearing a bit thin to me, what patience? we all are aware how much has been achieved at our club, who never had a pot to pee in,but things have moved on, and a man investing real money in our club is on the scene now, it dont take any qualifications to know fer sure,a squad like we now have, can do better,simply by trying to win games under a better formation that is happening now, with regularity,as far as i can see our management team returned cos no other league club seemed to be offering? i dont call that patience, i call it necessity, not blaming em for doing so,

Re: Newport County Match Thread!
 

After watching the goals, I must admit i cringed at our naive defending.
Their no nonsense approach paid dividends,just a quick question,whys Hughes not playing?,
He is a bit of a leader/talker,and communication seemed a bit of an issue yesterday.

Re: Newport County Match Thread!
 

There's only one thing that could have made yesterday's performance and result even worse...and that would be if Westley was Stanley's manager.:eek:

Re: Newport County Match Thread!
 

Cashy - I agree that looking forward is a valid viewpoint to hold.

However, think you have to temper that with the reality that all clubs want to do that and half of them end up going backwards! I can't see evidence that Coleman can't take us further. He may have had more backing from Holt of late but he has responded with almost getting promoted. We are 15 games in this season and in 9th place (having lost our best players). Way too soon to judge even for the most forward thinkers that he's reached his limit.

Re: Newport County Match Thread!
 

I too thought twice about forking out for a Bradford ticket after yesterday's inept performance, but my love for our club overcame my angry quivering stiff upper lip, so I'll be there next week cheering our boys on!
Some valid points from both sides of the argument and perhaps now is the time for calm reflection.
I am always surprised by the oppositions ability to use the ball more effectively when they play Stanley at home and there is no doubt we have been lucky in recent home games, particularly against Blackpool.
I think yesterday was the culmination of all the recent frustration we have felt regarding team selection & substitutions when things are not going to plan. Hence the criticism of the management.
Bill Shankly once famously said, 'Football is a simple game, complicated by fools!' Newport followed his advice.

Re: Newport County Match Thread!
 

Just watched the 'highlights' from yesterday's game, if you can call them that! The only saving grace (apart from Donacien's peach of a goal) is that despite their win, Newport & Westley remain bottom of the league - would never usually wish relegation on any team but there's always an exception to the rule & I would love to witness that slimy toad take Newport down, long way to go I know but one can dream

Re: Newport County Match Thread!
 

That was Paul Ince wasn't it?

Re: Newport County Match Thread!
 

Unless these two in charge seriously look at their team selection and stop picking a team based on favouritism rather than form/performance this situation isn't going to improve. I can imagine how it must feel for the other members of the squad never getting a chance week after week. It's a bloody joke.

Re: Newport County Match Thread!
 

I will be more than surprised if the blue eyed boys aint playing.

Re: Newport County Match Thread!
 

KTF,bit harsh that!.
When Acci hold the ball up for players to run off them,were as good as any team in the league.
Lads will have to work hard to cover Billy's absence and it won't be easy,hard player to replace and we are at our best when he's on his game.
4-2-3-1 setup got us to the playoffs and 20 points this season,it's the players that need to up their game.
We did go 3 at the back to get more men forward and conceded another straight away.
