12 months is a long time in football !!
Accy destroyed Wigan's kids last season, only Lang showed any fight that day for Wigan.
Definitely missing Charles pace, strength and direct running.
Even when he wasn't scoring, defenders were wary of him and dropped off.
Like him or loathe him,everytime i saw him he gave 100%.

Agree but he won't play why we are still paying him is beyond me who in all honesty on here would be happy with a work colleague getting paid for doing nothing.

he did give 100% no question but to carry on like he has is pathetic also very bad signal to the rest of the squad, i would never make excuses for someone like that sorry.

I understand the fan’s frustration, and admire the club making a stand,but if the player decided he doesn’t want to renew his contract, why put him on gardening leave ??
I struggle to come to terms with any footballer refusing to play,think he’s played for 23s,so it’s a strange situation

Don't think he is refusing to play as that would surely be a breach of contract, don't think the club will pick him unless he backtracks which looks unlikely.

Struggling to think of a time when I have seen Coley this down and deflated.........

Damning interview and tells me something is wrong - very wrong

I thought that the Lincoln result was the turning point - who knows?

Next two games are massive......

Agree, and that seems more ominous than anything.

I didn't see last night's game because I am incredibly stupid and thought it was another group game.

I did however have the pleasure of seeing Coley's beautiful face light up my TV on You Tube this evening

Has anyone got a handle on what the clucking bell is going on?
Just how bad were we?

cashman · 01-12-2021, 19:14

very bad mate but i have seen us worse.

Maybe no-one in League 1 wants to win this trophy?

I think you'll find Coly did.
If not why field 10 of the 11 from the Saturday before, the other one being injured.

a case of looking seriously at this competition to alter its format or scrap it all together. watched the sheff wed game against pools. the latter had only 3 regulars in the side with another 3 having less than a handful of first team games between them. the rest were regular bench warmers. yes, windass came on for the second half but did sod all but ponce around. 3 nil victory hardly flattered them.

just wonder if this has become a wider problem than just charles v stanley. it might be just one player but has it caused a problem thats not easy to rectify.

think the majority of fans are down and deflated especially after the early season promise. just wonder how long and what else it would take for coley to walk away. well the next two games will be the decider for me before i may walk away.
