Re: Yeovil Game
Coleman is a better manager than Beattie. That isn't to say Beattie is a bad manager (or could become a better one too, over time).
We're passing the ball better, attacking more, it seems like we're scoring more goals (would have to check) and I'm enjoying the football more.
I think comparisons need to take into account exactly how much experience John has. He has been managing football sides for nearly 20 years now. He has a pro licence. He has managed abroad (!). You shouldn't underestimate all this experience. We're lucky to have him given that our budget is so low.
I know we won a couple of games under Beattie this season, but our first 6 games were terrible. I reckon we would have stayed up relatively comfortably, but there was no way we were going to push for the play offs (in my opinion). And I reckon we have a v good chance of challenging for the play offs under John.
I'm enjoying watching the football again. I wasn't under Beattie.
