Wow!! If Coleman would have read this forum more often and taken our advice instead of storming off in a hissy fit, he might have come to this conclusion earlier.

That game stood out for me, but there were countless others. Welchy had no pace and that's what's done us time and again.

Why harbour sentiments (other than nostalgic ones) for a player that wasn't good enough for this level?

i wish you luck as always however you will stay up and then its up to the board if they wish to move the club forward.

Ernie, you are a top fella, Micheal is an top player (IMHO)

The level he can currently play at is open for discussion. Here at Accy the composition of the squad is the sole responsibility of the management.

However could you clarify your comment "it is up to the board to take the club forward"??

Again IMHO the board spend countless hours of every week driving the club forward, which I believe is a superb effort on around 1200 magnicent home fans in League 2. Yes we need to increase the fan base, but until the form at home improves is becoming increasingly difficult.

Any ideas/ suggestions are always welcome

New Central Defender should sign on loan this afternoon!
Interesting choice and a under 21 international!

But Michael Welch...who had good games and who made a few errors in his time....and who is a 'top fella'....has No connection with the current scene at the FES whatsoever,

Which, if you think about it, makes all these postings which either praise him or villify him, totally meaningless, and add nothing to the on-going debate regarding potential weaknesses existing in 'the Reds' Defence, and
opinions which might rectify these!.

Glad to hear from elsewhere that a signing, with the strengthening of our Defence in mind, is imminent !!.

'What, me worry?'... 'ON STANLEY!....ON!'.

Cool another Charlton player, hey whats going on we've got a giant well in comparrison to others on our team anyway, good one coley! {should shut up the 'mode' now lol]

[depechemode]

il see what he is like before i comment on him , but hes new to this country and league so maybe charltom have sent him here to see if he is up to this style of play in our great country

[chickentikkabalti]

maybe dropping rocky has done him some good. Get him back in the team.

[rude-dog]

one thing is for sure after watchin the last few weeks it made me realise rocky isnt as bad as we think he is. he is still our best centre half.

He wasn't dropped, he's been injured since the Peterborough game but at least maybe now some of the Rocky knockers may have realised it wasn't always his fault
