Yonmon's fears appear to be coming true. It' looks like another fight for league survival over the next three months. And the last three games (Hartlepool then Dagenham away, and Mansfield at home) suggest it could be a fight to the bitter end.

Back to the drawing board methinks

Totally and utterly abject. Coleman has not got a clue. Why take of Carver for Gray in the 2nd half against 10 men. Why not let Carver and Gray play together and take of the ineffective Naismith? 5th goal was clearly offside but Macey must be to blame for numbers 3 and 4. Totally indecisive. Number 5 was a mile offside but what is the difference. We were beaten today by a team who played with 11 men even when they had gone to 10 against a team who in truth were at 6's and 7's.

There is something intrinsically wrong at our wonderful football club and it needs to be sorted sooner rather than later or we will be definitely be in a serious scrap come April and looking at forthcoming fixtures I can't see where the points will come from. We can't defend we can't score where does that leave you as a team! This has been the lowest point for many a year...there is no option for me and Ange but to have a few jars!

I'll bet the chairmen of Rochdale and Southport could give you a clue on how to sort it.

Total, abject humiliation. Can't think of anything positive to say. Only Buxton, Piero and Conneally came out of that with any credit. MacGuire? - why, oh why Coley?

I am afraid it is time to allow the manager to move on. Today's performance was nothing short of abysmal. We know we can play much better than this, It was noticeable with Tom Aldred missing. we looked like a team who have never played together. Tactilely we were so naive it was deeply worrying. We need to act quickly.

Where on earth do we go from here? Coleman obviously hasn't endeared himself to the Stanley fans nor the general public on his return and gates are tumbling and will continue to do so with current form. I can see that dreaded less than 1000 gate for a league game coming up as why would the non season ticket holder pay £20 plus extras to watch that drivel. Bad day, angry and fed up should Coleman really have been invited back?

I am sorry but our keeper had a nightmare today.
From the first punt down field ,were his starting position was on his line,we were in trouble.he never keep for anything,and his head just went.
He even dove over the penalty !!
I mentioned it last week to Cashy and chubbyman,and my fears come true today.
Even their fans got sick of the "dodgy keeper" song and replaced it with " we owe you a pint" chant !!
Defensively we were all over the show,and I disagree about Bucko,he's just not a defender (good footballer tho)
He got skinned for the first,gave away a penalty for the second and got caught in possession for the third or fourth.
They bombarded with balls down the middle and we just struggled to contain them.
The fourth and fifth goals were just like a pub team defending,not worthy of a comment.
Positives --------urrrrm,Piero never give up,grey at least ran the channels and held the ball up
Not a lot more

cashman · 31-01-2015, 18:21

We were out muscled by a bigger stronger,older team, not enough ummp in our side, agree completely about Kal he was abysmal first half and to me deserved substituting, To replace Carver after so short a time, says it all to me,

should have been left on with Gray alongside. The second half our keeper had a MARE, the defending was like watching a pub team against 10 men fer chrissake, Only thing we can take outa this, if we hadn't conceded 5, we would have won 1-0.

No good calling fer the managers head, we cant afford it.

What's up pal?

Dear Chubbyman,
I'm sorry I couldn't join you today, I had to sort out some other stuff and couldn't make it to the game.
Looks like I missed a classic!

The keeper Beattie got in from QPR was not very good, some of our fans said we should stick with him, others said get rid.
It seems the situation with Macey is similar if not worse, do we stick with him or send him back to Arsenal ?

We won't go down with Coleman in charge, he will turn it round. Just like Beatties 12 games without a league win, 4 games without a win is bad but not a disaster. Still lots of points to play for and lots of potential in the squad.

Let's stick together and get behind the club.

cashman · 31-01-2015, 18:35

Send back or not Davo, i would start with Dawber next week fer certain. He can't do any worse n was talking to someone at half time that watched him at Clitheroe n they said they thought hes worth a shot.

Watched him a few times for clitheroe and he's improved every time.
Can't do any worse,but I don't get any pleasure watching young Macey crumble,his head just went .
