January window
- Thread starter andyd
- Start date
Angus Gunn would be a good TLT signing.
I think we need a bigger squad and have suffered Emergency Loan cessation this season. All the big crowd/budget/squad teams are at the top, when they have had mixed fortunes recently.
What about the proven experienced players who can't get a game or even make the squad, This is bad management. you have to give these players a fair go on say a rotation system. The current system is not working. If the Manager does not rate players then why are they here in the first place? It does seem that players are not being picked on ability or merit. This has to stop. Some people have said bring Bucko back, When he was fit he was a class above but was injured a lot through bravery, Would he come back? I doubt it. Crooks won't come back either. we need to look around and I believe Coley is a master of finding gems. Yet he does not seem to manage them well.
Chris !...
Whether or not it appears that players are not being given the opportunity to prove their worth to the squad...Whether or not there appears to be a lack of fairness employed by our Manager when choosing his team for any particular game.....We as mere onlookers at the scene set before us must face one truth, this being that AS Manager JC has the power within his grasp to pick his team for the next game and you, I, and any other contributor to our forum, apart from stating our opinions or getting something off our chests, can for all our puffing and blowing do absolutely nothing to affect or alter this status quo !.
So we live in hope that maybe next time his team selection, and his use of substitutes will coincide with what we think should be the case, and that the success for which we all fervently wish will come to the Crown in 2017 !.
KTF.
Yonmon I agree
But
Coleman has to take responsibility for the likes of Eagles, Taylor Fletcher, Hery - he signed all 3, all 3 had previous for having strong personalitys, all 3 if not being selected are a waste of wages and a missed opportunity as those same wages not being invested on other players.
It's also a waste of those players talents, hopefully they can all move on in Jan.

DAV,
I appreciate that my post seems to be a short exercise in fence-sitting, but I didn't go so far as to name individual players in it because quite simply I am not at all sure of the details regarding either their contractual situations or states of physical fitness, or indeed attitude towards playing for the team , which would allow me to make a considered judgement regarding the Manager's dealings with them.
So I return to my original point, that as far as I can see it is how JC manages the affairs relating to the three players and indeed the rest of the playing contingent that, come weekend which will determine the squad for the next game, in spite of what you, Chris, I, or any other fan would see differently !.
Seems like I'm burying my head in the sand, perhaps someone will come along to help me see some pathway through this murky and convoluted situation...Or maybe drinking too much of the nectar which flows from Artemisia this festive season has made me too Absinthe-minded to see things in a true light ?. Who can say ?.
Happy day after Boxing Day !.
KTF !.
And PS !.. does Absinthe really make the heart grow fonder ?..... I wonder ?.

Yonmon, I fully accept your points that no matter what, we are just people with an opinion. I agree However the manager must be getting feedback from this forum as well as others. The feedback I would like to think is more positive than negative. I have held back like you as there are reasons or contractual arrangements that we are not privy to which may make us view the situation in a different light. Whatever your view I do believe we have the right as fans to express that view and have it challenged. Ultimately we all want success for the club and team. I agree to name individual players can be less than helpful although most people will know who we are talking about. For me our strikers are not up to the job, That is a starting point but others will think differently. Coleman has to make the choice as it is his neck on the line. This season for whatever reason we have not been able to recreate last seasons performances. We are lacking in most departments in reality. Again we all have our own opinions and have the right to express them. If we have not turned it round by the end of January I think we have to ask serious questions of the management team.
We are saying the same thing Chris !.. BUT ,although positive or negative, if we were to approach JC and ask him to say, hand on heart, that his decisions were influenced in any way by the assortment of opinions and ideas which we enjoy bandying about on our forum, then we might be on the receiving end of a most disappointing, and dare I say, edifying answer delivered in his own inimitable fashion !.
He is without doubt his own man, whether he is a good manager and decision-maker Ior
not,well one only needs to examine the plethora of posts on this topic which have appeared on our Forum over the years to realise that as yet no decision has been arrived at !.
The picking and nitpicking will continue, I'll keep on turning up I suppose,FA19, DAV, Cashy, Revived Red, Choirboy, and dear AccyMad,and of course yourself, will continue to provide me with those choice moments of unlimited joy which make my daily visit to Accyweb a must !.
Let's hope that our present gloomy thoughts are unfounded, and brighter times are just around the corner !
KTF.

He is a good player Baldy but it won't be enough to turn things round on it's own.
If two forwards aren't signed in January - one a big target man the other a fox in the box then the club is in deep ****
The service from out wide exists although the speed at which the ball gets out wide can be an issue.

His loan expires on January 7th will he sign till end of season who knows I believe a striker is Coleman's target we all agree with that I think as I do but still think we need a creative fast thinking forward midfielder who can move the ball quickly and accurately if the players mentioned in this thread are,nt getting a game let them go we desperately need points from the next 2 games before Coleman rolls the dice in the transfer window and hopefully we get on a confidence building run any new faces will then hopefully gel quickly and get us away from the abyiss.
Vyner loan expires 2 Jan ?
