What about Kenny Arthur picking the defence? He should know who the best defenders are at the club and what formation to play! Although for the next game make sure someone is on the back post for a corner.
How do they do it???

How many times could we have said that!!??
Someone WAS on the post, unfortunately it was the wrong post!..and it seems that this was another example of the 'switching'off' which has caused the many defensive problems, allowed inferior teams to score easy goals against the Reds, and led the Club to it's frightening 'goals-against' situation.
Would a Psychological Coach be of more value than someone merely employed
in the role of 'Defence Coach'...not only would this brighten-up the on-field application of the players, but might also provide the proper motivational
therapy which, on ocasion,has seemed to be absent in the squad!
APPLICATION + MOTIVATION = SUCCESS & SATISFACTION.
JC & JB MUST STAY...A CLEARING OUT AT THIS JUNCTURE
WOULD BE DISASTROUS ....even if it would satisfy some of those
looking for Blood!....KEEP THE FAITH!!!
we had a shrink the year we accidentally won the Conference ...........
For Brentford's second goal, from a coner, Kenny Arthur was shouting for someone to mark the back post, nobody would do it - probably not wanting to upset Coley who has instructed them not to mark the back post. The ball went to the back post and into the net. If someone had been marking the back post they probably wouldn't have scored and we would have gone in level at half time. As No.9 Dream says, for years I have been saying things like 'If we had a defence we would be dangerous' and I used to get slagged off for saying it, it's only now that people are starting to agree with me.
And of course you are right on the mark Jeff...all I'm suggesting in my rather tongue-in-cheek posting regarding the addition of a Sports Psychologist to the coaching staff ( once agan!)...is that the team are not that far away from being one that can be moderately successful in the league...and with additional application....as in 'back-post marking and covering'...that they can achieve this success!.
But it seems these weaknessess need to be addressed by someone who
can not only spot them in the first place..but also make the correct moves to rectify them.
The whole team..and perhaps the Managers too!...might benefit from a bit of accurate Diagnosis and resultanr treatment !!
Then Jeff...We might be dangerous once again....the FES might become 'the Fortress'...and everyone would be satisfied!...BUT then we'd have nothing to write about!!
MORE 'RED-COLOURED SPECS.......AGAIN !!!...ON STANLEY...ON!!!!!
brentford was the first time i have seen stanley this season.... and imho the main difference between the teams was confidence.... brentford looked like a team on the up stanley looked like a team in need of a couple of wins and a positive attitude along with that little bit of luck that winning teams get.
a couple of great moves in the first half could have put us 2 up before brentford started especially the shot that rattled the bar..... when you are winning those go in.
the defence look indecisive... like they want to be on the back post but dont want a row with JC if they do??? aswad looks class tho some very well timed tackles.
cant see us going down but its going to be roller coaster from now til the end of the season... ON STANLEY ON

Fitter and stronger between the Ears..and in the Heart ?......isn't that where everyone seems to think the weaknesses lie as far as 'the Reds' are concerned !!.....So who is going to motivate them to find greater inner strength and the will to WIN ?...Eric?..JC?...JB....or ?
And if I've opened the door for Depechemode again !....... Sorry!.

[/quote]Thanks LO !....I think that this thread has just about out-distanced it's usefulness anyway...
Perhaps we can all seek another logical, rather than knee-jerk examination regarding 'the Reds'...and their problems...which, if the last two matches are to be taken into consideration, are not as serious as we have all been thinking!....
But I am in agreement with you....destructive and non-sensical ranting won't get us anywhere....or make for interesting visits to the Forum.
Keep up the vigilance!!!.........and ON STANLEY...ON!!!!!!
I hope you're not going to stop freedom of speech (or typing)?"Don't worry, my negative-ometer is well and truly tuned to his wavelength !
Wouldn't dream of it but I draw the line at banal ranting !
I know some of the threads can be boring but currently if anyone posts anything negative the thread is closed down. This IMHO is not good for the forum the way it's going there will be quite a few, me included who will not be allowed to post. Not everyone on this forum thinks the sun shines out of Eric and Coleys arse and I feel negative views should be allowed, if not I will be out of here and looking for somewhere else to release the stress of watching Stanley.Wouldn't dream of it but I draw the line at banal ranting !
No probs with that , balanced views make for a happy forum and everyone is entitled to their opinions. It just needs a bit of pruning when the same person says the same thing over and over in about 6 different threads !
agreed, opinions are fine but the same thing over and over is weary.
That's not exactly true is it, you closed a thread started by Jesus_was_A_red_ and depechemode never even made a post in it.It just needs a bit of pruning when the same person says the same thing over and over in about 6 different threads !
It wasn't just a thread ,it was a poll and a negative one at that.
Constructive criticism seems to be the way forward not out an out " oh my God it's all gone wrong, let's sack everyone !" mentality. The poll didn't give the option of " If Stanley win 5 nil this Saturday will everyone be happy again? " did it? No, thought not.

I really don't like the way this is going, for one it was a members poll not yours Lindsay and if people wanted to vote thats what it was there for whether it was negative or not. This is a forum and open to everyone as long as they keep to the rules and it shouldn't matter if their posts are constructive or just plain negative it should not be up to you to stop them them putting over their point of view.It wasn't just a thread ,it was a poll and a negative one at that.
