This sorta thing has always gone on at stanley, since we been in league, yet some still sing how super J.C is.

Tactics my friend, tactics and how we set up.
You cannot get by on effort alone in League One.
If you're implying I'm an armchair expert then guilty as charged - other than Im there week after week game after game, not sat in an armchair.

Think Billy is over due a rest, can't keep using him as a target for thugs to keep pummelling without it taking some effect on the lad.

Twenty Eight · 13-02-2019, 15:51

Anybody think Billy might be better suited playing behind a front two ?
It would mean going three at the back - but that worked reasonably well against Derby and Gillingham. 3-4-1-2.

I think that could be a very good move personally.

I too have wondered whether that would be worth a try, 28.
Something needs to change, but it’ll need to be something subtle rather than radical with the options available.

It went on BEFORE the league as well, which you wouldnt know about while you were watching the remnants of Jack Walker's millions spluttering to a halt

One of the reasons that our poorly paid, ragtag assembly of cast-offs keep managing to progress (15 out of 16 seasons?) is his loyalty to his XI. They run through brick walls for him and sooner or later he finds that little bit of glitter to roll his turds in

I'm hoping Coley has the courage to change things on Friday.
If we go up there with a defensive minded set-up, lone striker etc, I fear we'll cop for it.
I can imagine young Armstrong, being a Boro lad, will be desperate to score against Sunderland.
Never mind 2 strikers, I'd play 3. What have we got to lose? No one expects us to win.
Come on Coley, let's really go for it!

Wasn't talking about you twenty eight, I read your reports on the matches so am aware you show up, I was inferring to myself, living 5000 miles away my only options are to keep an eye on comments on the web, I do catch the odd game when I can stream them. Can't argue that tactics have always been a big part of the game too, my main point was that it's up to J.C. to sort the problems out, sooner than later please.
