Cowshed Power

why is it any different if you want to move onwards and upwards than your always going to try and give 100% some people enjoy thier jobs even if they dont get paid alot
 
With the new form and effort of a certain John Miles - could he be the answer?

If he puts in a shift similar to Port vale, and shows he creativity and willingness to make runs - he will probably prove more effective through the middle. Its just his positional sense really - to often standing in no-mans land.

Im being serious, John Miles has always possessed the ability - the application has been none existent. If he sorts it out, who knows?
 
:) John Miles good player in my book wasn,t given a real chance when he arrived from the Silkmen,or even J Ryan to step in to Ians shoes a good prospect:)
 
If a player is having a stinker, then it is natural to groan and utter a despondent "come on" to whoever. But in my book to give personal abuse to a Stanley player - well you might just as well be sporting an opposition shirt ! - bet the opposition love these cowshedites reported on this thread.

It might be said that this post belongs on the Ian Craney thread, but I believe it has far wider repercussions and may, in the end, result in further decimation of what is already a wafer-thin squad.

There is a certain vociferous minority of “gentlemen” of a certain age who frequent the cowshed and who, I believe are, in the long run, doing no good for the club. Their latest exploits came at the Aldershot game, where strident cries of “B**ger off to Morecambe, Craney, you’re no bl**dy good” could have done nothing for Craney’s confidence, or, indeed for his inclination to stay and win promotion with Stanley.

This same group, last season, went a long way towards destroying Shaun Whalley, with the result that his home performances in no way matched some of his man-of the- match shows away from home. You aren’t going to perform with shouts of “Whalley, you’re not fit to play for a pub team!” ringing in your ears.

Okay, I haven’t always agreed with Coley’s tactics or team selection but, simple soul that I am, I feel that, as supporters, the very least we can do is get behind the guys in red on that field. I’ve even been known to shout words of encouragement to Branch on occasions – and that took some doing!

To link once again with today’s latest squad development, I feel that there are people who call themselves supporters, who need to look very closely at their actions, whether it be in the cowshed or here online, where match-winners are sometimes dubbed “Useless”.

If you want to drive away good players, so be it, but, for my part, I support Stanley, have done for many years, and will always try to give 100% support to the players who represent them.

Goodbye and good luck Ian Craney, make the Huddersfield fans proud of you. Good luck Shaun Whalley. Keep doing the business for Wrexham, even though it is at Blue Square level. I hope the supporters of those clubs deserve you more than ours do!!

Nobody WANTS to turn in below-par performances and I firmly believe that,in such circumstances ,it's our job to encourage, not abuse. It will be interesting to see who's the next Cowshed Target, for, believe me, there will certainly be one, cos I think that's one of the main reasons these guys come!

Agree with most of what you're saying Oldgobbin, but particularly the above. One friend who I come with reckons it's mainly because they're under the cosh at home or work, or both.
There could well be something in that. ;)

What effect it has on the players I'm not sure, but encouraging players should be the way, especially the younger ones. Years ago, before Coley, someone tackled an incessant moaner (when they stood where the newest bit of stand is), and was told, " I've paid my money, I'll shout at them as much as I want".
Point of view I suppose, but not mine.

Last season at the Crown wore everybody down, and a couple of wins would help, but this continuous barracking of our own players wears me down more. (Especially during the 90 minute reprieve from Ricky Kirby)
 
To put this thread into perspective, go on to the Port Vale thread for after the Stanley match and they say much the same about their team and management. According to some this is why they lost. Now that was a decent ground with 6,600 folks in of which 6.500 were Port Vale fans. So it seems the way to go is to play all the games away from home and not risk the local supporters abuse of certain players. I know it is never going to happen - so the answer is to get behind the players - even if they are having a stinker - that way, we should be able to romp away with this league.

On the other side of the coin, good luck to Ian Craney, I know not everyone thinks he was the bees knees of the club (and I am one of them) but all the best at Huddersfield.
 
So what happens to this little bunch of saddos when the new stand is built? Presumably, they'll be standing on the Clayton End? Hope they're near me - I'll be giving 'em plenty of verbal!!
 
Am glad Craney has gone , it might mean when we are chasing a game coleman might bring a striker on instead of pushing Ian up front . How many good games has Craney had since he came back ? Hope he does well at huddersfield though , but did stan ten buy him on advise from gary roberts ?
 
To be honest, although the 'banter' can get a little out of hand, many of the comments from the cowshed are very much tongue-in-cheek and have people laughing.

Yes of course things may get personal, but that happens at every level.

Personally I never negatively abuse players while they are on the pitch, as I don't think it does them any good and I've yet to see an abused player suddenly start playing better.

Yeah but they deserved it
I`m sure they were expecting to rip lowly Accrington apart but to be honest offered very little, Kenny had to make 1 save and catch another that came straight at him. They had the rub of the green with the ref most of the game and still came up with nothing. And I can visualise the posts on here if the Stanley defence went walkabout like vale did for Paul Mullin`s grand finale.
Whinge all you like on here but on match day if you want 100% from the Reds then be prepared to give 100% yourself. Up or Down, remember Rochdale 3 nil down, 20 minute non stop Red and White army chant , we got one back. Alright we lost anyway but at least for a while it felt like you WERE the 12th man.
Most of all go to football to have FUN.
LoL
 
I don't think you're ready for the cowshed yet Bagpuss. It's like being in the SAS. Everyone thinks they're tough enough, but it can make grown men cry. Just ask Oggy :D
