Game thread against Luton
- Thread starter Mr Matthew
- Start date
Bournemouth and Barnet I think will survive. Grimsby and Chester I am not so sure about.
A few wins, fingers crossed will take Stanley out of the equation as you say.
Another inept performance from accy,around xmas time i foresaw squeaky bum time approaching.Certain participants on this forum had a go at me and told me i should get behind the team instead of finding fault with the management.Colemans comments about the fans being to blame if accy go down is just a smoke screen to detract from the fact that he can't take critisism when things go wrong.If all the missing fans came back and we had a full house all the shouting and singing in the world wouldn't help while there is no cohesion in the team,i know we have a limited budget and things are tight but things haven't improved much over the last 2 and a half seasons.This is the 3rd season on the run looking over our shoulders and relying on the results of other teams,has coleman got some sort of a hex on Eric,many clubs would have sacked a manager with the record of W-L-Ds that we have.As a paying fan i have the right to my opinion,and that opinion is that Coleman should go,if not now then he should be replaced at the end of he season.I for one am fed up of paying good money to watch **** poor performances,i hope we get the points we need to survive,or is there some underlying plot????????????????????????????.
ACCY THROUGH AND THROUGH..
ACCY THROUGH AND THROUGH..
Grimsby have Adam Proudlock who I well know to be capable of performing at Championship Level let alone League 2 to score goals for them.

As I got to watch 90 minutes of a game for once, My opinion for whatever it is worth is:
McConville, I personally thought he had a fair start, looks a promising player for the future.
Miles - should have been replaced by Kissock - in fact Kissock should have started instead of Miles.
Too many long balls lumped up the park towards Mullin, who was getting nothing all night, and getting fouled into the process, which the Ref and his assistants failed to notice or just plain ignored it.
Jimmy Ryan - revelation, played his heart out.
Keiran Charnock - absolutely brilliant in defence, especially the goal line clearance.
Phil Edwards and Cav both rocks in defence and assisted in attack when they could.
Kenny looked a bit suspect for 2 chances when coming out but to be fair, his defence assisted and helped to keep it 0-0.
Turner when he came on was lucky to stay on the park, but otherwise had a few good runs.
Callum should also have played.
Maybe we should try a new system, because teams have sure as hell worked out how we play. Maybe it is time to move Paul Mullin into midfield next to his brother and use 2 smaller quicker forwards in attack.
Luton look a team doomed and I agree with K-P, I do not think we will be relegated, unless the seats don't go in in time. The second team is from Grimsby, Chester and Bournemouth, although I think the latter will escape. Personally, Chester are my favourites to accompany Luton to the BSP

Outback whats your view on Linfield?
Luton Manager:
"It's a difficult place to come, John Coleman's built something special here coming from non-league and he can be proud of that.
"You know Accrington. They're hard-working, they're a great bunch of lads, they've got a fantastic spirit here, and, to be fair to them, they caused us a few problems."
Harford rues missed chances - Dunstable Today

Only seen him a couple of times and he looks useful, but I will reserve judgement just yet, although he was unlucky on a couple of occasions. Would have preferred Kissock playing with him rather than Miles
some of the dumbos on here should listen to harford, who has forgot more than they know.
am proberly going to get shot down here, but here goes.
Paul Mullin works hard all game is a good holder of the ball, scores quite a few aswell and good passing skills and Lindfield works well with him but, how about in the 2nd half bring Mullinoff and put Kallum upfront with Lindfield and have Turner, Ryan, Miles and kissock in midfield this way we have two young lads upfront Kallum can score as he did against us when he was at rochdale and so can Lindfield. They can both work of each other instead of one of them always working of Mullin and they will run with the ball at the defence. Same with Turner i rate him alot, and i think he should start more games than he has this season. He has alot of pace and can take on the defence and usualy is succesfully in takeing on the oppostion and gettin the ball either in the box or around the 18yard area. Same goes for Kissock on the other side. Ryan plays well in the middle always works hard to get the ball and pass it around and put shots in. It proberly will not happen but its just a suggestion.

Good ideas mcr adim, but there's nothing really wrong with Paul being up front. The pure and simple fact is that our midfield give him a negligible amount of decent service.
As a classic goal poacher, balls in the onion bag are hard to come by when your only way of obtaining the ball is to track back 40 yards, or to challenge two defenders for the 156th long ball from the 'keeper.

yep mullins a great servant n decent goal scorer, may just be me but i reckon 90 mins is getting a bit much, reckon he will last even longer if used fer 45 mins.
I think he'd last longer if all he had to do was concentrate on what he does best - popping the spherical thing into the netted thing.
As it is he's knackering himself out chasing down balls that really the younger midfielders should be getting and crossing over to 'our Paul'.
Watch the goal Chris Turner set up against Barnet - this is what we should be trying to achieve every game!

thats what am trying to get at! that goal was quailty great run and confidence by Turner to take on the defenders and put it in the box and Mullin just tapped it in. We should use the wings more often specialy when we have people like Turner, Kissock, Grant, McConville on them. They all have good quailty. Than when the ball gets punched out by the keeper or headed out by a defender, Jimmy Ryan is waiting to smash one into the back of the net.
Seems simple, dunnit?
What would we know!

Stanleys problem has been the lack of a decent foil for Mullers. He is better than he has ever been at keeping the ball and bringing others into play, but as pointed out, whilst he is doing that there is nobody in the 18 yard box. His last decent partner was Gary Roberts (Gornell not really here long enough, or ours etc etc).
I'd like to see one of our surplus wingers being used as Gary was, imagine Turner with his surging runs starting 20 yards further upfield!!!
