Re: Crap

The great thing about the forum is every has an opinion. Thats what makes people intersting. You dont have to agree.......here is mine!

I, like many of you, have been watching Stanley, home and away, for a very long time. I, like many of you, shout and scream and the management trio when im not happy with things. I, unlike some of you, still believe John Coleman and Jimmy Bell are the best men for the job of leading Accrington Stanley.

Having said that,it was bad yesterday. The sponsors who pick the man of the match must have over done the free ale! Paul Cook ran around a lot chasing lost causes but he didn't do anything more. Im not sure if anyone else noticed but when Coley took Proctor off yesterday Cookey seemed to be asking why he wasn't being replaced. In a squad that seems to be jam packed with midfielders, Cookey should not be playing. (IMO)
We need 4 across the middle and 2 up top.
With Lutel's iminent departure (good luck pal) we need to go out and get a 30 goal a season man. Not just another striker, but a real goal scorer. One to play off the legend that is Paul Mullin!
We could do with some decent width too. Jaggers and Ian Craney are not wingers but are played out of position all the time. Lets get Paul Carvill back from Chorley (he was in the bar yesterday) and give him a run.
Finally, remember when Rocky used to play in midfield, he was much more effective than he is as a full back.

Remember.......its only my opinion!:rolleyes:
 
Re: Crap

On a more positive note.....when we return to winning ways the lads confidence will come back and the Interlink will become a more intimidating place to play. I`ve lost count of the number of times on rivals message boards away fans were expecting a tougher match than they got,so last seasons hard earned reputation still precedes us. Lets hope we soon get it back.
 
Re: Crap

I agree about Carvill, he looked pretty damn good pre-season and I would welcome him playing on the left giving Evil a chance up-front with Mullin.
 
Re: Crap

I'll run the risk of criticism, but...........on a fundamental note, is the issue not "Too many Cooks" no pun intended!

Who is running the show, Coleman, Bell or Cooke?

(IMO) Perhaps we have to trim back to a management team of two!

Thoughts?

Why don't you go away, just because I don't agree with your idiotic post earlier doesn't mean I have to be quiet and not share my view on how good/bad the post was.

Why do you always have to be so argumentative ? If you keep telling people to go away just because they say something that you do not like there will soon be nobody left on this forum and you will have to argue with yourself and tell yourself to go away. Why attack people just because you don't like what they say. All people have their own opinions. Why can't you just say something constructive. I don't think you would like it if people told you to go away just because they disagree with you - and you do come out with some ridiculous comments. It's about time you were warned about your postings.

I don't think that there is another team in the Conference with a Manager, Assistant Manager, and a Coach. I think that Cook is having an influence on the team tactics. Maybe it is time to trim the backroom staff and possibly have a captain on the pitch who opens his mouth occasionally. I never hear Cav organising on the pitch, I don't think Mully said a word on Saturday, all we heard was Cook.
 
Re: Crap

Wasn't I told to go away thats why I replied with that post

Do I have to agree with everything said on here?

Shirley, Williams(Gary!),Payne, Prendergast,Calcutt - when we played proper wingers we were great.
If we can't get players getting to the by-line Mully has no chance, whatever formation you call it.

i can't understand who made you the moderator smiffy and who made you the judge of wether a post is good or bad, how can a post be bad, if people wan't to express their opinions, and if that includes critisising coleman then they shouldn't be able to do so without them being told were to go by you, just because we support stanley doesn't mean we have to worship coleman, we'll leave that down to whoever wants to and will say nothing to them about it.

Re: Crap

i agree with redrain we are running short of wingers and missing rory, we have nobody on the right, also one up front??? maybe against oldham in ldv vans or bournemouth in FA Cup but not against Leigh R.M.I in the cup, leigh rmi?? we should be turning teams like that over not getting beat i think its about time we got rid of three or four players and signed some quality robbie williams isnt good enough, his lunge was easily a sending off on saturday, howarth is bobbins, jagielka isn't the best, and McEvilly seems to be nothing more than a big lump, spitting at a player infront of everybody? he should have been given his marching orders, the team lacks in real skill and quality, its been a long time since we've had players as good as shirley and grimshaw, if they were here in their prime they'd turn the current side over. what we need is depth.

FAO `Smiffy 16` : You've dug a hole and made yourself a laughing stock. When you have something meaningful and logical to say I for one will listen. I shan't be replying to any other posts you might subsequently make as I have better things to do so fire away!

So your saying you have something logical to say when everytime you come on here your slagging the team off and calling for the management to be sacked?
 
Re: Crap

unfortunately some people have good opinions and share good opinions and some have bad ones. but everyone has their own opinion about everythin so i say we let them who hate john coleman have their say because we know they r wrong anyway.

JOHNNY COLEMAN FOR EVER
 
Re: Crap

Good points knowthescore for once nut when did these insidents happen because i have never seen them even through my red tinted glasses???? Can anybody else recall them???
 
Re: Crap

Redskin in reply to your point on too many cook's.... I too have for a while wondered how the Coleman, Bell, Cook..... would work??? 1 Manager, 1 coach, 1 player coach..
When cooky was shouting the odd's on the pitch on saturday, I felt he was stopping players relaxing. He should train them during the week and then leave them to it.. I do not think Crainey needs too much shouting at( let natural talent flare )
He was shouting at players (grown men) like they where kid's.. I for one, and most adults I know do not respond well to that...

Your point is well made, Redskin (my own expression would have been "Too many chiefs and not enough Indians" . . .but I'm no Redskin). Also, Simon , you reinforce this idea with some well-observed comments.

Why does Cav wear a black armband ? Why do we hear three other Merseyside voices shouting at anyone and everyone incessantly throughout the game? Is it conceivable that these non-stop "instructions" serve any purpose ?

Two and a half years ago I voted for Peter Cavanagh as Player of the Season, describing him as "Coley's eyes and ears on the pitch" . He was then ; he doesn't seem to be now.

Sometimes a football club needs a gentle, friendly, avuncular manager to get things settled. Sometimes the opposite is true.

Newcastle United recently parted with a "benign" type of manager and replaced him with an aggressive mouthy type. I don't imagine for one moment that Sir Bobby could have adopted Souness's management style to bring the unruly Magpies into line, but it's just as far-fetched to imagine that Souness would be any good with a bunch of sensitive and inexperienced youngsters.
Good management doesn't mean constantly hectoring your players, nor does it mean putting them in a strait-jacket so that their natural talents are never allowed to flourish.

Patience, the desire to see long-term rather than short-term success, an understanding that there is very little to be gained by criticising your players when encouragement would be the better option, a willingness to accept that you might be at least partly to blame for any difficulties . Just the sort of people-skills, in fact, which one might expect from . . . a teacher, say.

Now there's an idea !;)
