we all love john coleman
BUT
and i and many others have said it for a few years now

He hates squad rotation.
According to the BBC reports, we looked knackered towards the end.

No rotation, no subs - the Macc game was enough evidence to encourge coleman to change it but he obviousy doenst rate those on the bench or thinks the starting 11 are fit enough.

Losing to 2 late goals will take alot out of the players mentally.

No effing subs? Wtf????????????

Pendle Red · 16-02-2010, 20:48

If Coley does have an achilles heel then subs are it

Well put that man, it was easy to see from Dans post that we were under pressure - I know it is easy for me to say sitting at home - and no subs, as you also said Macc???? That is 5 points lost in two games - sorry but it is how I feel! What is wrong with Kee, Turner, King, anything to freshen it up!!!

I know where you are coming from mate, but he is still the Football Genius!

Yeah, but that was after Coley subbed Jimmy Ryan, our best player on the pitch. Must have scarred him (Coley) mentally. Seriously, though, no changes in the starting 11 from Macc is questionable, but no subs to counter Lincoln's 3 is unbelievable.

Pendle Red · 16-02-2010, 21:00

We still have to play a few of the teams in and around us, so all is not lost but the last two games on paper should have been at least a four point haul.

The other side of the coin is for the lads on the bench is they must be wondering what they have to do to get a game?

It is now a big big test of not just how the players respond but how the management respond they have to pick this team up and dust them down for Two very BIG home games where realistically nothing short of six points will do to keep us in the mix!

Cannot see how Milesy or McConville could have justified starting after not just Macc, but others recently, if others are not fit to play then why are they on the bench, or in the squad???

That is what I am worried about! Should have been 6 points to be honest and if he changes things at the weekend, it will be against much tougher opposition than Macc or Imps!!!

Maybe Dan could pose the question about subs?

Braver man than me if he does!!!

Mr Coleman was, to put not too fine a point on it, livid... His opening line was "I feel physically sick"

the winner was a Kempson OG confirmed. Coley slammed the defending and the lack of concentration in the closing stages.

Stanley were by far the better side tonight. Unbelievable result.

I'm off now. Thanks

Just got back from the game and I'm sitting here in a state of shock. We were so, so much better than Lincoln and really should have been home and dry before they scored. Even Lincoln's manager said they were fortunate to win on local radio just after the game had finished, as did the Lincoln fans I travelled to the game with. Ultras were fantastic again.
