Thanks Macca and HR - any other news of the Forum will be gratefully received.

Something else I have just remembered!!

I asked with their playing days in the distant past

(sorry couldn't resist and they took in good humour) and both from a striking playing background, are our defence missing out on good defensive coaching and are we looking to bring anyone in to specialise in coaching the defense.

Coley replied that with them both being prolific strikers in the past

who better to work with the defense and train them to understand the mind set of how a forward will work to get through a defense!! They admitted the defense has been a nightmare this season and they have been working hard on it in training, but when it comes down to matches, the lads are on the pitch not him and jimmy! This led to the question of goalies and there is a goal keeping coach on the way but they couldn't release the name as yet but it would be a known name!

I'm just hoping officer dibble is coming back!!!!!

No probs, but think it would be easier to jog memories if people asked if any particular questions were asked

Rocky ?????????

harwood red · 26-01-2008, 11:35

He did talk about rocky and said his form this season has been bad, but was concerned about who else could fill that central defensive place, and that part of rocky's downfall is he needs a leader working alongside him and that leader hasn't been there! He also touched on him becoming a father this season and wasn't sure if this had an impact on his playing!!

Stanleymad · 26-01-2008, 11:36

Oh dear that answers my Q or theory then hehehehehe

Or maybe Paul Crichton

somebody did ask who Coleys all time Stanley XI would be so I'll try to remember who they were

1. Jamo
2. Cav
3. Reg Hollis
4. Rocky
5. Smith
6. Marsh
7. Payne
8. Craney
9. Lutel
10. Mullin
11. Shirley

... then admitted that they probably couldn't play together

Both Eric and John look forward to the days when we have the worst ground in the Premiership.

Coley and Jimmy both said that they have read the messageboards in the past (and it was Coley who posted on here earlier this year when some doubted the ID of the poster) but mainly to get a feel for how the fans feel about the club in general. I asked Jimmy what he thought the most unfair criticism of John had been and they both replied that accusations of John being bully was the worst. Nobody is shipped out of the club for standing up to him and the main reason Mike Flynn had gone was that his legs had gone and he didn't have a competitive 90 mins left in him at that level. Accusations that Rommy had been bullied by Evil were also unfounded and that they as a duo would not allow any form of bullying. But Rommy had been called Sybil (I think) when he returned from International duty because the squad felt that they had sent his brother back rather than Boco himself as he wasn't performing the same.

When asked whether the club should catch up with the team off the field before we aim for League One Coley said that he wouldn't be there if we weren't actively improving the team year on year. He'd rather be struggling in a higher league than 'doing a Rochdale' and settling down for the long haul.

Eric asked when we would be getting a leader type of Captain on the field, I can't really remember the answer as somebody else chipped in with half a dozen questions without pausing for breath.

Rob Heys interrupted the questions as Eric was mindful that whilst we were all talking and listening we weren't drinking!

... and then lager kicked in and the rest goes blank

Hmmm wasn't it Cyril they called boco??

Also that bloke who kept chipping in was doing my nut in (understatement!!), he was asking questions then answering them himself without giving coley and jimmy a chance to answer, in fact at one point jimmy told him to shut up

As for the lager kicking in...I know what you mean

Thanks Hr for asking the Questions, also yourself & Macca for the updates much appreciated

Also well done to Coley & Jimmy for doing the Question & Answers hopefully it gives people a little more insight of how things run day to day and a little chance to put their side of things

At least he didn't say Bertrand Bossu!

maccawozzagod · 26-01-2008, 18:17

yeah he did! Berti Bossu

Thanks to those who have posted reports - and thanks to JC and JB for answering the questions.

Just one minor puzzle. Harwood Red notes that "part of Rocky's downfall is he needs a leader working alongside him". Macca comments that JC said that "Roberts would benefit from having a leader alongside him". So we have two central defenders lacking a leader. I wonder how Sean Webb fits into this picture. And sorry to keep saying this but the natural leader is there - yet cannot get a regular game. Who he? Leam Richardson IMHO.
