We are tactically inept.
A recent example:

Today versus Shrewsbury, we played 4-4-2. Or rather, that was the lie put before us. Our midfield consisted of three central midfield players and a fellow in a complete world of his own named Miles. No one played on the right of midfield throughout the entire game.
Strike one Coley.
Holding on to a 1-0 lead until half time should have done wonders for confidence, rarely have we done so at home this season, however the "football genius'" team talk left us 2-1 down within 23 minutes of the restart.
Strike 2, sir.
As the visitors held on to their lead, a substitution was in order. Did we see Boco or McGivern brought on to impose an ounce of attacking prowess? Nope. A defender, Phil Edwards, is brought on to the field. So, what's this? Defending a defeat now?? We did not see another striker on the field to replace the ineffective Dsane until 6 minutes from time.
Strike 3.

The losing doesn't bother me at all; honestly. I would be more than happy to revisit the lower league sides again if I could be safe in the knowledge that we gave our all in the chance we had at the big time, and all resources were used to the full. However when this consistently half arsed display is paraded in front of us, it's clear to see that things need to change.

Do us all a favour and quit while we have a chance Mr Coleman.
Have to say that in my opinion, Miles had a half decent game today, He made some very timely tackles in midfield as well as in defence, and was unlucky not to have scored in the second half, had his shot blocked and it was on target and would probably have had the Keeper beaten, otherwise I completely agree with you
