Clueless substitution?

R

Redraine

Resting in Peace
Tackler
If he wasn't injured, why oh why was Jimmy Ryan substituted? At that point in the match Stanley were dominating the midfield and Bradford looked a beaten side, their supporters silent and starting to drift away. Stanley were playing some of the best football since........the night we beat City 3-0 at their place. Jimmy was having a stormer, with biting tackles, controlled possession and having several cracks at goal, and helping to pin Bradford deep in their own half. After that all our momentum was lost and their sub, Conlon, started to create havoc with our back line. What a downer.
Another thing - when will the Ultras learn never, ever again to sing their "You might as well go home" song, which always comes back to haunt them? :o
 
Your spot on Redraine.Don't think he was injured we were coasting it and i think coley must have thought game won brining Procy on.Don't think any of us even Coley exspected what happened next,great game though :)
 
To say it was a disapointment would be an understatement, cav. was at fault for two goals,the substitution was unfortunate,it was embarrasing to have to leave the ground and face the Bradford fans.I have not been so gutted since Arsenal beat Liverpool at Anfield in 89 to win the league
 
Have to say i agree with ya with the majority of that, tho in ultras defense [hope i havent give willie miller a heart failure lol] they did keep the noisy upbeat in the terraces which i think the players responded to, well till the 80th min when all went tits up!
 
The Coley mantra of 'score goals and you won't get beat' is found wanting. We did score goals, two very good goals and ended up getting beat.Where to now? And the once mighty Cav has become so complacent lately, playing poorly judged backpasses and committing needless fouls just outside the box, like he did today. I felt sorry for Ryan , who should have been MOM and left the field with Accy winning but ended up on the losing side. He must be gutted............ like the rest of us

Another Coley mantra is "We can't keep a lead for toffee", and he certainly made it a self-fulfilling prophesy today.:(
 
Spot on redraine,i truthfully thought we were on the way to a cracking win,and then coleman takes off ryan who uptill then had been playing bloody well as had the rest of the lads.why break up a winning side,we had city by the balls so to speak and should have won comfortably,as it happens the substitution cost us the match.defensive blunders for their goals aside coleman made a stupid decision to bring on proctor,if he hadn't tinkered and left the side intact we would have beaten a very poor city side.so coleman must share some of the blame as the saying goe's the games not won till the fat lady sings.as for me i'm gutted for the rest of the team who must be really gutted.

ACCY TILL I DIE.
(MANY MORE GAMES LIKE THIS AND IT MIGHT BE QUICKER THAN I THINK LOL)
 
"..............Fat Lady Sinks". The term originated in pool
halls during the depression years. The black ball
was known as "the fat lady" (because the No. 8 on it looked like two fat
ladies) and the original saying was that the game "ain't over till the fat
lady sinks". Over time, the "sinks" eventually became "sings"."
 
Today I was bloody disgusted, first time I've ever come close to walking out of a game early - and I stood in the pouring rain as we lost to telford 5-1. Coleman clueless substitutions - first time I've ever said this but for him to be that bloody incompetitant we'd be better off with no manager than with him.

listened to Colemans interview on Radio Lancs. He blamed everone from the Ref to the Players, no blame attached to him or his nonsensical substitution. He is completely and utterly tactically niave. He explained that it is his birthday tommorrow and he would have to cancel his celebrations. He should now give us a birthday present and resign, We are going nowhere, or is there a hidden agenda i.e. Has he got the Conference in his sight? Every time Coleman is interviewed it's the same old retoric spewed out, it's always someone else to blame, any other Club would have parted company with him 18 months ago. Is there something we are not aware of?
 
i still cant believe that last ten mins .just pathetic especially after we was having such a great game
 
I heard a whisper that Colmans contract is up at the end of this season.
How do we know that Ryan wasn't injured??
 
Ryan looked ok when he was taken off. I can only think that Coleman thought the game was won and wanted to give Procter some game time after his long lay off but it backfired on him in a big way.
 
I've had a few hours to think about it and i'm really niffed off, we played some good football and should have won the game easy but why oh why take jimmy ryan off??? Until we get rid of the dead wood such as williams, Cavanagh, procter we'll always be like this. Would a new manager make a difference? I'm don't know but something needs to change or there will be less then 1000 on the next game. Will you be going? We got 25 down for morecambe away before the match. i wonder if they still all want to go now :(

PS John Miles......well done lad, you're like a new signing, another mistake john made getting rid of you last season????
