Sky Blues Match Thread

Would love to know what coley madeof it, but just cannot penetrate the maze that is logging onto I follow.

On the face of it, a point away at Coventry is not to be sniffed at.
However, the no-score draw did us no favours, in fact we dropped a place due to Tranmere's away victory at MK Dons.
After Tuesday nights goal-fest, I fully expected young 'Prince' Charles to at least get on the field.
Instead, Coley gives 'Baron' Zanzala (get it?) another 30 wasted minutes.
Meanwhile, we're now only 2 points above the drop zone.

But Coventry City and the excellent, yet lightweight youngsters from Liverpool's School of Football are, as the Reds found out yesterday, two entirely different kettles of fish .

In a previous post I repeated the words of wisdom from the late Sir Bobby Robson, which keep coming back to haunt me.

" Score goals = win games = promotion possibilities " or " No goals = loss of games and motivation = potential relegation ! "

From the strikers in our current squad I cannot see the goals that we so badly need
putting in an appearance . In addition to this the odd goal or two from our midfield would not go amiss , but alas !!.

Here I go griping again !, but feel certain that others watch games and must, seeing good chances missed and players underperforming, share my feelings .

BUT.. ON STANLEY !.. ON TO GREATER THINGS !!.:cool:

I had same problem last night, your Lordship. But I just kept trying and eventually I was ‘signed in’. No one will know why as no one I have ever met has appeared to understood IT.

Conneely best player in a Stanley shirt today. Has been fantastic last few games & still people can’t see it.
Baffling.

It’s only baffling to those who can’t see that Conneely was not playing well earlier in the season.
He was excellent yesterday and I hope he maintains his form but surely Stanley can’t afford too many players who gets selected whether or not they’re playing well.
 
Coleman in his post match interview says we did,not play as well as they normally do opportunities next week in cup against Crewe to change things around a bit especially upfront agree with others Zanzala just unfortunately doesn't look good enough ,Charles, Baker-Richardson and Sampson plus the overlooked Simmonds are all options upfront not trying we,ll never know.

good one that. mind you i,m not convinced with charles either. coventry away is a different proposition than a load of liverpool kids at home in a dead rubber.

Not Simmonds. Never Simmonds.
Simpson poor in my view.
Andy Scott much better option.

Half agree with that, although let’s be honest and look at other options at that point in the season, wouldn’t of picked LKS or Pritchard in the middle over him.
 
Colby looked out on his feet , looked shattered like he needs a spell out the side , remember he’s only stepped up from part time football so you would expect a dip in form , but his sharpness has completely gone , Zanzala not showing anything to warrant be near the side at the minute add onto that a pathetic 30 minute display yesterday. We create chances but fail to convert , maybe a break from the league will do us good an who doesn’t love a god F.A cup run.

Ok never Simmonds get rid then 1 less wage Simpson send him back then Andy Scott nowhere near being picked on this seasons showing get rid of Zanzala then what's the point of such a big squad of ,league 2 or below standard if your not going to use them, a better option is smaller squad on more money but you still have to attract them to Stanley. That's not a easy task looking at attracting better quality players no training ground to offer poor borrowed facilities so use what we have otherwise I fear for our goals for column.

You’re basing Andy Scott on 15 minutes of football? What about last season....
Big squad if needed for injury/suspension.

The state of training grounds is whats discouraging our players defo,so attracting better whilst thats a big hinderence is most unlikely in my view.

Sorry chaps! I don't buy that.
If non-league teams can overcome football's elite to become FA Cup giant killers. When talented young players can be picked from obscurity to become overnight Premier League stars, it only proves one thing;
Whoever the opposition, at whatever level, you've either got it or you haven't.
Good keepers are judged on the number of clean sheets, strikers on the number of goals scored.
So far Dion Charles has made only 8 league appearances, 6 of those as a sub + 1 Cup game, scoring 4 goals.
If that doesn't merit a position at the front of the queue for selection, I don't know what does?
Unfortunately, Coley has invested too much time & faith in Zanzala to accept that the gamble to sign him full time hasn't paid-off.
They say that 'Cream always rises to the top'.
But then again - 'You can't make a silk purse............ etc.

yep though J.C. has made many good signings oer the years, reckon he tends not to admit hes made a poor un, which every manager does. imho.

Don't think it would be good business sense to say you have signed a duffer, then try to offload to another club.
