Shocking defending Sykes at fault for 1st goal gets himself a silly yellow for running away with the ball should have been subbed then you could see the second yellow coming 2 points thrown away didn't manage the ticking down of the clock. Still not mathematicaly safe but sure as well are.

I've got a lot of time for Coley for what he did for my lads and what he has done for your club BUT listening to yet ANOTHER extended interview with Radio Lancashire post match he complains constantly about how things go against his team time after time after time.

It's now so familiar that it's become boring to listen to and whilst I sympathize with him he comes across as a someone who is a constant moaner. Such a shame.....

Re: Cheltenham Match Thread
 

aye we thought that but ross was stupid we thought. that probably cost the match? he needs to use his head a bit more its spoiing him as a player i think.

Re: Cheltenham Match Thread
 

I suspect Coleman would agree with you that moaning about the standard of officiating is boring, but just to give one example from today of what goes on regularly at The Wham….
The BBC web site notes “Jimmy Bell was yellow carded in the 35th minute for protesting against an offside decision”. And Cheltenham we’re then allowed to take the resulting free kick five yards inside Stanley’s half. Go figure.
However, that’s no excuse for Stanley clutching what felt like a defeat from the jaws of victory. From the score line, no-one would think that this was such a mundane match of little flowing football, plenty of high ball antics, lots of pushing, shoving and infantile behaviour.
Taking off the Stanley’s two-goal Man of the Match just about summed up a pretty chaotic performance.

there is a reason for this sort of thing, super john should answer why i think. that is if he DARE.

Re: Cheltenham Match Thread
 

After suffering weeks from a goal drought, today produced a rare & welcome glut.
Unfortunately, despite what appeared a comfortable lead, Stanley proved their L1 reputation as the gift that keeps on giving.
After adopting our favourite method of defence, panic & hoof it anywhere, all Cheltenham had to do was keep the ball on the deck & pass their way to a remarkable comeback. Can we really complain?
Judging by some of the glaring positional errors & impulsive decisions - all too often wrong; young Savin looked nervous & lacking confidence.
Tommy Leigh on the other hand was outstanding. On today's performance I doubt he'll be wearing red next season.
Perhaps we could use the money to buy back Chappers when those dirty Gills get relegated.

Re: Cheltenham Match Thread
 

sounding more and more like jim bentley used to do when he was at morecambe.

Re: Cheltenham Match Thread
 

just wonder if stanleys discipline record may be down to coleys attitudes nowadays. sounds increasingly down this season with the whole football world against him and his club. really hate saying this as i love and respect the guy, but he is not getting any younger and does he want anymore hassle out of the game. is this a good time to look at his future as he has took stanley as far as he can and the future does not look too great. it wasn,t the same without coley in charge but some time in the future it has to happen again. been thinking this for a while now and not a knee jerk over yesterday.

Re: Cheltenham Match Thread
 

I think what seems to be coming out of all this is a general lack of discipline within the team and management. Perhaps the actual or perceived unfairness of the officials might be used by the manager to galvanise the team and instill a sort of seige mentality in the players........"tell them they are playing against15 every game.......11 players and 4 officials"........and to accept every decision without question or complaint.....but run faster and try harder. After all I can't remember a single occasion when the referee has changed his/her decision after a complaint by Coley or any of the players.

Re: Cheltenham Match Thread
 

They very rarely change a decision unless one of the other officials tells them they got it wrong, Jimmy Bell incensed at one such decision decided to complain in the fourth official,s ear despite being constantly warned he finally got a yellow might not be right but they have been in the game long enough to know what is coming. Has for this continuing moaning about luck and decision making is just papering over obvious defending mistakes that have cost us all season -17 says it all needs a sorting in the summer because it could become a relegation struggle next season.
