Colemans comments?

I agree with Coley - it doesn't matter how well we played, we didn't make it count by putting the ball in the back of the net more than them, so our players didn't do their job properly.

Fair enough if you disagree with that, you've got a right to express your view here. That's what this forum is for. But some of the comments on here ("an absolute idiot", "a big child") are downright insulting and totally unwarranted.

As for airing his comments in public, Coley has his own way of motivating his players. Considering that he has taken us from Unibond One to the Football League in seven seasons on pitifully limited resources, he must be doing something right!
 
so you dont think by saying i could of done better myself, they deserve no credit, and four players carried the team are childish comments?
 
Not particularly, no. "I could have done better myself" is hyperbole, "they deserve no credit" and "four players carried the team" are simply observations about what he saw on the field.

If Coley was as immature as you maintain, I doubt that he could have led and motivated the squad to three promotions. However, please feel free to carry dishing out gratuitous insults against the most successful manager we have ever had. I'm sure you will find many like-minded souls amongst the Hereford fans next Saturday.
 
I'm probably going to get slaughtered for this but here goes, in my opinion the club needed the win mainly to deflect the weight of feeling from the fans about the timing of Gary's departure. Coley needed to say 'there you are, we've done it without him'. That's why he was so angry but to slate the lads in public as he did was wrong especially when they had all played their backsides off. Ok, give em a rollicking if he feels it's necessary but keep it in the dressing room.
 
I can see what you mean about Coley desperately wanting a win in the aftermath of Gary's departure. As for airing his comments in public, some managers do, some managers don't. Coley is a very, very passionate man and he says what he feels at the time, no matter what the circumstances. It's nothing new - he has done this many times before, right back to Unibond days and it's certainly done the trick up to now!
 
Someone said:
why? it wasn't you he had a go at and I am sure the players are able to respond if they so wish. Why should he expect a backlash from the likes of you and others on a messageboard?

Get a grip!!
We all know he is has done & will continue to do brilliantly as manager and are not calling for his name or anything like that.:rolleyes:
I am making the criticism that his comments were uncalled for, and that comments like that are not constructive, if at all correct.
He should expect the backlash from fans because he has been in the game long enough to recognise how the fans can differ on opinions of the manager, that's football, get over it.
 
The beauty of football is that we all have opinions on how things should be done. We can all pick a better team or more suitable formation, we can all build a better stadium within the budgetary constraints that we have, we can all run a better commercial department and we all know how to make every fan in the ground sing their hearts out.

At the end of the day (bloody cliches) Coleman will not be the slightest bit bothered whether he gets a backlash or not, even off Eric. Eric is not and has never been bothered whether we say we want a roof or not. The commercial department is not bothered whether we think the range of merchandise is expansive enough. Coley does what he thinks is best for his team, Eric does what is best for Accrington Stanley, and Accrington Stanley does what it thinks is best to stay in business.

Dear 'rugely saddler77',the doctor that smacked your bum was clearly sick and misguided as well.You are, by nature of your post, a prime dickhead.

Why? Rugeley Saddler is spot on.

Away from home especially it doesn't matter how you play, it's all about scoring more goals than the opposition. We did that and won fairly and squarely.

Coleman's comments stink and are extremely bitter, have some people heard the interview that he gave on BBC Lancs?

He said it would have been a disaster to even draw against us, let alone lose. Why exactly? We have lost just once and kept 9 clean sheets this season, it doesn't happen by luck.

It comes from excellent defending and taking chances...whatever happens in between quite frankly doesn't matter.

You lost because your defending was poor and your goalkeeper was awful. That's down to the manager to sort out so to criticise our manager and our style of play is embarrassing. We are a footballing side, always have been, always will be....and you will certainly see that if you travel to Bescot.

Thank your manager when you next speak to him because he has made Dicky Dosh's team talk for the return fixture very easy. All he has to do is play this:

You aint listening are ya? ;)

We haven't played particular well in one away game this season (apart from when we beat a full strength Plymouth side in the Carling Cup) but we keep coming away and not losing. That's not lucky, it's called grinding out results and what promotion teams are made of. We're fed up of hearing opposition fans complain they should have won. You only win if you score more goals than your opponents!

We're not expecting an easy ride at our place but our players will be that motivated after those comments they'll make sure he regrets them.

He's right you know.
We did it for about 2 months last season, playing awfully but getting the results. That's all that matters at the end of the day.
Which is why our fans tend to feel agrieved at our results sometimes, when we play free flowing, exciting football & come away with a loss due to a couple of stupid goals. It's something that will be fixed with experience I think.
 
I am not saying he is not right and i am not complaining whinging or moanig about the result you win some you lose some thats called sport but this thread is about JCs post match comments and if A Saddler thinks for one minute that they will make any difference when we visit them well thats his opinion to which he is entitled, we will see
 
your whinging g!t of a manager Coleman is doing you no favours. Comments about how it would have been a disaster to draw against us and was beyond belief to lose to us, and that Accy are apparently so much better than us is just making him a laughing stock. We did not play that well on Saturday but on the other hand we did not have to. We scored, sat back, you equalised so we stepped up a gear and scored again. That pillock Coleman must have been at a different match. To be honest we were expecting a tough game but as it turned out we never had to get out of second gear. I do sympathise to an extent though. For the last couple of seasons we have had a moron gobsh!te manager who talked through his ar5e

I also fear for you if you cannot start getting more support. You have a good home record, you play the Lg leaders, neither Burnley or Blackburn were playing, we took 1300 (apparently) and you can still only muster a crowd of 3000!! If we only took 1300 I would like to know where on earth you could have fitted another 700 fans in that away end, we were like sardines as it is. Does the public of Accrington actually want a team in the league?

Oh and by the way your ground should be condemned.
 
i don,t really give a monkeys wotsit about your opinion of JC or ASFC in general but if you have nothing constructive to say go and do it on you own walsall the unbeatable web site

i agree i think we will be staying up which most of us would have been happy with at the beginning of the season weve got a solid foundation for a good team with a bit of tinkering and a new striker:)
 
well thats very constructive!! I thought i made some very constructive points in my first post which you failed to respond to. I thought a football forum was for debate? Apparently only if you share the same views as you. I would be genuinely interested to know what you think about the crowd situation and whether the town actually deserves or wants a league team.

Accy had an enormous amount of goodwill from fans around the country after your long and difficult journey back. Idiotic comments like those of your manager and the attitude of many Accy posters on here when responding to points made by Saddlers and fans of other teams are likely to ensure that any goodwill is eroded pretty fast. Still I'm sure you know best. Had to give any of your best players away this week yet?

Because Stanley have been out of the league for 44 years with a prmiership and championship team within 8 miles on either side townsfolk have naturally filtered towards the Claret or the Blue in search of the good life. Now is the new beginning of REARING REDS, for new youngsters of Accy and hyndburn to be chosing their home team as their first team. At the start of the season most people were like "Ooh can we stay up", clobber a few good teams and everyone`s outraged when we don`t beat the league leaders. These are the passions and emotions that run wild in such an up and down sport where yesterdays heroes are tomorrows zeros. Sorry If our ground`s not up to your standards but we`ve naturally got 44 yrs of catching up to do, and believe me Accy fans complain about it more than any of you ever will. Don`t get upset by the odd poster on here giving you a bit of stick, most of us got on really well with most of you, and certainly appriciate the following you brought. 2 Saddlers even became My Space friends today. Sounds like both teams let their fans down but you came away with the points, it`s up to us to show some improvement for Bescot.
Stop moaning about discrepencies in the attendance figures before you alert the taxman.:smokin:
