Instead of all the negativity that appears in threads such as this one, why not try supporting the team and the management, get behind them and try thinking positively, you never know, you might even like it!!!

Some people would be happier with us back in the HFS Loans League....

Whinging is in some peoples nature, next time we have a display maybe they'll join in & enjoy themselves. Very poor at Tamponworth but sack Coley.....you are avin a laff. Most people thought we'd struggle at the foot of the conference I'm sure Bluebird did. But Coley assembled a squad that finished 10th in the first season & third round in the FA Cup. Have u all forgot that.....Look down the table at Burton & Nigel Clough, then ask who is doing a good job

WE LOVE YOU SIR JC, JB & EW

A famous person once said, you're only as good as your last result.

Most people are not calling for the management to be sacked, but the team (not the club) do appear to be going backwards this season. Why can't people say that on a public forum without being called whingers?

The past is the past, unless of course you see the world through rose-tinted glasses.

Playing the football that we currently are, it is going to be very difficult to retain the neutral supporter or to grow our fan base. The gates this season, for me, have been very disappointing, and will probably get worse. I hate defeat, like everyone else, however its is always easier to stomach when you can see progress or committment, I can't see either at the moment.

Something has got to change.................at some point!

I'm no more, or less, of a supporter than anyone else. Perhaps my expectations are higher than others?........who knows! I spend my hard earned money on the gate and in the shop, then Saturday comes! I start with belief that today will be the day, that all the training ground tactics will fall in place...........but I'm still waiting.

I appreciate what JC & the Directors have achieved. I want nothng more than to see Accy Stan in the football league!

But, there comes a point in life when you have to realise that not matter how much you scream and shout, and bang your drum, you ain't going to flog a dead horse!

Stan Collymore is not the only player to be involved in ‘dogging’. The Stanley back four have been spotted standing around, watching other people score for ages.

I don't agree with those who are baying for Coley's blood but I do think we've got to ask ourselves who's really in charge these days. When you look back at Coley and Jimmy's record over the last few years at the Stanley we couldn't ask for more. I really don't believe they could have lost all their magic. So what's changed this year?

Paul Cook as coach!! - What's all that about?? Is he responsible for picking the teams? That could explain some of the choice of players. It's like being back at school, picking all your mates for the team(never mind talent and commitment).
And I can't even begin to tell you how my heart sinks whenever he comes on the pitch himself. Groans all around me. I've heard all the talk of experienced player etc. but the way I see it (me just being a girl and all that) he just runs around the pitch like a headless chicken (more often than not away from the ball). For experienced player read has-been. Coley and Jimmy didn't need him to get us promoted. Time to go I'd say.

As someone said earlier, it's not just about getting beaten, it's not even about getting beaten by crummy teams, it's about loyal fans turning up week after week to see a bunch of lads who couldn't give a damn about winning the game. Everyone can have a bad day and make silly mistakes but some players (and we all know who they are) couldn't care less - they're going to get paid anyway.

Frank M came on the bus on Saturday to apologise for the shoddy performance and promised us things would change, I really hope it is true. Some of us will keep on supporting Stanley whatever happens but we can't survive just with the hardcore of fans, we still need the new, "part time" and "fickle" fans that some of you seem to dispise. Not just for the gate income but also to build a bigger permanent fan base.
If we get back to playing good football they will come!

That was my first away game for stanley and apart from the result it was a good day out. Well done jase and the ultra's with the coach and everything, and i should be coming to a few more away games now!!!!

Wynonie Harris · 25-01-2005, 15:48

I think Alice has hit the nail right on the head there!

Willie Miller · 25-01-2005, 15:53

Yep she's spot on! Funny how Cookie was less than a bit player last year but this year.....one year older, he's a regular

Cafu01 · 25-01-2005, 15:57

KIPAX · 25-01-2005, 17:40

QUESTION FOR YOU ALL
Had Cookie been succesfull a couple of weeks ago when he applied for the Stalybridge managers job would no one have been upset?

Willie Miller · 25-01-2005, 17:50

I'd have been gutted..............................

........theres some decent people at Stalybridge!

Outback Ozzy · 25-01-2005, 18:58
