Today Vs Gillingham (match thread) - Page 2

I was concerned at some of the comments from people around me, several said they would not be coming again, until Coleman goes. Does'nt ode good for the season ticket sales, if comments like this are being bandered about.
I feel that Chris Turner should have been brought on earlier, we were a different class when he and Higginbottom were introduced. I do think Coleman lacks that bit of tactical knowhow, we do have the basics of a fair side but they, the subs are not used to our advantage.

Pants today. Absolute pants. The most entertaining thing all afternoon was the little kid at half time! The only Stanley players to come out of this game with any credit are Edwards (only because he made the fewest mistakes) and Charnock for having the balls to take on that giant of a centre forward. Men against boys , it was. Gillingham strolled around as though they were playing a practice game whilst we huffed and puffed in a cluelless inept way. Having said that, the gills are probably the best team that have come to the Crown (has it now reverted to its non sponsered name ?) this season.

Thanks, Cowboy. I must have missed that. As it's impossible to go back into the archive this year, I'm not sure when the announcement was. All I can see is that he was reported to be back to "full fitness" on 28 February.

Must agree with most of this post, especially the mascot at half time

he was a star,

but do not agree with the last bit

I thought that they were very average but we made them look better than they were, cannot believe that they are in the play off places

We have just got to get a win from somewhere

5 points from the drop zone

we just are not that bad.......

today brought a whole new meaning to the word "Crap" fer my money coleman substituted the right people, (pity ya cant have 5) stanley only looked really dangerous after turner came on. i always assumed ya start a match with yer strongest team.

that is certainly NOT the case.

Not far wrong Cashy

Cannot understand why Turner does not get a start

Got to say though cannot agree with home "fans????" Cheering and clapping when our lads - Lindfield and Milesy are subbed

Whats that all about? How can we expect them to play well and give their all when they are applauded off the pitch by their own "fans????" Never right that.......

i was there today. my son took me first time for a long time and after what i saw it will be a long time before i go again. did have a nice pint in club house before the game then it all went wrong herded into a compound at half time for a smoke. not right some thing must change i hope for stanley's future it's for the better.

What sort of football have you been watching? The 'Football Genius' always starts with his mates, his favourites, the rest of the team just has to fit in with them.

Other results are worrying...I really hope Grimsby aren't going to go on a winning streak. Five points above the drop zone.

Too right.
You get more end product from Turner than from any other of our attackers. He nearly always gets a good cross in or forces a corner, plus he keeps possession well when on the ball. In short he looks a dangerous player.
I think Coley has lost his nerve and is reluctant to go all out on attack with him and Higginbottom from the start, but the current strategy sure aint working.

You can hardly blame Stanley for that! Ask your MP why his government have brought these stupid new rules in.

Haggis316 · 07-03-2009, 21:50

I expected Gillingham to see Stanley off not prettily but efficiently - that's why I forecast 0-3. They are physically powerful and direct as I knew they would be.

Stanley contended with them better than I expected and will need to regroup now and console themselves with the thought that at least 2 other teams (that we have still to play) are no great shakes. Hopefully still in League 2 Stanley will need to regroup again in the Summer.

I do not think Stanley will play a more difficult opponent at Accrington this season.

A win at Macclesfield will change the whole complexion of things. Stanley cannot afford to lose the resolve they showed against that team in the last home game of 2006/7.
