gripe

well said again Macca.....a long time ago on another thread i said i would be happy if we finished third from bottom on goal difference and that still applies.....i think we will do a bit better than that....but when we stay up it will be cause for celebrations and a job well done...

come on you reds
 
five posts earlier Glosterred ....... the quote about Coley saying staying up would be a bigger acheivement ..... lets start planning the staying put party right away!!!
 
We have had local ( east lancs ) lads who havent had a sniff who have come from rovers and burnley. I will stick my neck out and say that there must be a better centre forward than mangan in the 10 or so high schools year 11 in hyndburn and the ribble valley who is banging goals in for fun, yeah against lesser opposition but ask any striker scoring is confidence and ability. Stanley do not scout. Ill even push the boat and say there are better accy combination strikers who i know HAVE league experience. Players are out there but Liverpool is the be all and end all it seems, to be fair he has found some gems but they need to look a bit closer. What is it 3 years ago since matt derbyshire was playing for harwood - look at that jump! I would Think Rovers would send a couple of u19s over? have we tried or does jc shake his head and say i got someone lined up from st dominics (who are they?)or burscough or prescot cables. I have been told they have a motto pinned up on the changing room door ''If you dont speak scouse your not coming in.''

How mobile were the Chester defenders? They were big and strong. It has been said in other threads that we lack height and strength as a team. That has been clear in so many games this season. Those of us at the Mansfield game would have reservations about some of Rocky's technique and positioning. I would have thought that Almeida and Michael Welch could be a strong partnership in central defence.
 
I think you'll find Mark Hughes unwilling to send any of the rovers lads here on loan 'due to the facilities', or at least thats what he was heard stating after the pre season friendly here this year.

Oh and those of us who have been here since Rocky arrived will tell you that we have some reservations about his positioning and technique, always have had, we didn't need to be at the manfield game to tell anyone that!!!! Although give the lad his dues he's been far better this season than in previous efforts!!!

it wil be boring if we dont fix things now and stanley dont exist dont forget where weve came from itll be so easy to go back and go bankrupt just remember most players we have got are on 3 + YEARS CONTRACTS and the way we are playing we would struggle in the conference just look at grays they got rid of some of their best players and they never even got in the league look where they are now .it can take only 2 years to get relegated from the conference and then were stuck with crowds of 499 and big wages.. and nobody will touch the players weve got wioth a bargepole there you go it is pivotal we stay up this season and for that to happen changes need to be made....i hope i am proved wrong but nothing suggests otherwise:(
 
with the exception of boco I can't think of another player on a 3yr contract. And Boco certainly doesn't constitute most players!!!! Eric and Coley are both to canny to hand out that length of contract to players at this level willie nillie. And incase you didn't read the comments on the fishy site about wages, we are the worst payers in the division by some distance apparently.

Personally on this point, I think you my dear sir are talking out of your rectum!!!!
 
who said we have most of the players on 3 year contracts? Boco has just signed a new contract (one of the best and most rated players) that will only take him to June 09.

Why would we go bankrupt if we got relegated? Most clubs who go down to the conference have big wage bills and big grounds to maintain. We have neither. Our ground is not out of place in the conference but is still one of the smaller ones. We won the conference with the 15th highest wage bill FFS, Eric will not pay more than we can afford but will also leave room for manouevre, no doubt if we go down then the wages do also. FACT. And we wouldn't necessarily lose all our best players because we do not perhaps have players that everybody covets. The main two would be Boco - new contract, looking to buy a house here and loves it at Accrington, and Paul Mullin who at 32 years old does not need the move, would not command a fee, and within reasonable constraints does not need the money. Our squad would remain other than who Coley wants to leave IF we go down. Finances would not be a problem because we dont have years worth of expectation from high season ticket sales, we are not dependant on TV and FL money, we do not have a high wage bill, we would not suffer a significant crowd fall (if anything it would possibly rise! as it certainly seemed to drop when we go tin the league due to segragation/bar problems).

You've been quite good recently Mr Bananaman, but this week you seem to have it that everything is bleak and the club is on the verge of collapse. I aint wearing rose tinted specs (seems to be the in vogue statement at the mo), I'm just being realistic. Why is it either all or nothing with you? why cant people just accept that this season we are in a battle and we or may not come through it? Lets just see how it pans out and then deal with the fallout, JC seems to think this would be a bigger acheivement than winning the conference and I am inclined to believe him. Its progress boys, but not as we know it
 
so do you not agree with the team weve got now and the way we are playing we would struggle in the conference just look at grays last season when they beat us at the fes totally outclassed us apart from craneys goal they get rid of a few class players mclean etc just like we did craney etc and they are 4th bottom
 
I guess the bananas are bruised now,will they go off? Stick around to find out:D

I personally do agree with Coley about staying up being more of an achievment than winning the conference. Ok, were not winning alot, but we're playing teams that (in theory) are a higher calibre than before, and this is one step in a staircase of personal achievements for Stanley! A new challenge if you will...

they lost their manager who had taken up them up three leagues in about four years (sound familiar?)

they lost Thursgood, Kightly, McClean, the big striker who's name I cant remember but was summat like slapper!, around half a dozen longer serving peripheray players, the club is in turmoil due to possible ground relocation 15 miles down the road. I would doubt that many teams could come back from losses like that especially as they had very little infrastructure to begin with. At least we have a sound infrastructure (and not in debt or relying on sugar daddies such as Grays do) and the consistency of personnel. Again your doomsday scenarios do nobody any favours but are in fact total fabrication, pie in the sky, muck raking nothingness that are every bit as possible or unlikely as reaching the FA Cup semi-final and winning promotion to League One next season. Turn it in emoticon man cos its getting weary.

fair enough i hope stanley shove my criticsm down my throat should stick one of my posts on the wall in the dressing room and inspire them to escape relegation lets hope....
 
Despite recent events on the pitch I would rather stick with Stanley than Torquay, Rochdale or Wrexham!

Yes, let's hope so, Bananahead. If we don't I've no doubt that you'll be back on here tomorrow night predicting imminent collapse, bankruptcy, fire, famine, pestilence and all manner of terrible fates for the club. Then, by next Friday you'll be telling us how you've changed your mind and you're filled with optimism about our prospects (accompanied, of course, by a chorus line of dancing bananas) and so it goes...

Have you ever considered medical help?
