Well it seems to me, looking at the score, that though many may have thought it an unusual decision, it eventually proved to be the right one.

Or does the result not matter any more?

Of course, and it was a great performance, but fresh legs up front might just have brought a win. Greedy, moi?

I still struggle to get my head around this!, the majority of the posts are about what may have happened,not what did happen.
Hardly any mention of all the sitters missed which cost us two points !!.
Now ive been accused of deflecting criticism of Coley who ive never met or ever spoke too !!.
Just for the record me and my lad never talk football as hes a pro and its his job and not mine.
it may not come across but i try to work out why decisions are made and formations/shape adopted,but its only my opinion as i am not pro or anti Coleman,which i find a little boring to be honest.
The bloke knows far more about football than i do,so i give him respect for the thinks ive seen him achieve at Accrington.
I have always wondered if the people who slate him actually know him?,

We all,or almost all, already know what did happen as we were there, and all have expressed our admiration for a great performance. The "sitters" were not sitters at all in my opinion. They were either players busting a gut at full stretch (Windass and Naismith) or snap shots being blocked(Windass again) or Proccy meeting a difficult volley coming to him at speed as he bore down on goal. None of them in the same league as Crooks's famous sitters. I thought he had a very good game at CB, by the way, which seems to be his natural position.
Nothing wrong in talking about a penalty which may have happened. After all, the boss himself thought it should have been given, and who am I to contradict him?

That's what I like to read Redraine,views from different parts of the ground.
Said before you seen a different perspective from behind the goal as you do from the side.
You would be much closer to the goal action,were I had a good veiw of the penalty claim,in which there was minimal contact,but by the letter of the law it was a pen !!
