[DAV007]

As you may be aware, I am a huge Coleman fan but this season in the league it has been a disaster despite the manager having good funds compared to many previous years and the club putting players previously on 2 year deals.

There is little to no excuse this season about having to re-build an entire squad, and the players who moved on did so at the start of the new season leaving time to find replacements.


here are my 3 criticisms of Coleman

1. fitness
we appear to have the least fit squad in the league, we always have done.
quite a few of our players are nowhere near their physical peak.
Sports science and diet is huge in football and can make the difference, why is there no evidence of the manager utilising the available technology and dietary understanding.

2. no plan B
we have one way of playing and small variations on that same way, but no genuine plan B or C.
We are predictable, it rarely if ever changes.
As the pitches deteriorate at this time of year, so have our results in past seasons - we must have a plan B and a plan C and be able to adapt to the conditions

3. team selection
the manager has always been and remains to loyal to players who aren't performing (doesn't mean they aren't good enough, just not performing) and to quickly to fall out with others resulting in good players not getting a look in.


In colemans defence, the cup runs this season have been tremendous, he lost his best player matt crooks last season and has been let down by players getting themselves sent of needlessly although he does pick them.
