Re: Shakers
IMO Coley builds his teams to be teams with Iron Will, great comaraderie and an element of skill. He builds teams to be better than the opposition at getting in amongst 'em. He relies on his powers of persuasion and the loyalty instilled in his players by sticking with them when things aren't going so well. For six or seven years we have known nothing but success so any rocky (no pun intended)patches have not shown up the long term defficiences in tactics. This year and last year to an extent we have struggled with the increased pace and skill, and also with the fact that in the big boys league we cannot get away with defensive naivety.
When a manager who has got little tactical or coaching ability starts to lose his motivational qualities then there is a problem. Nobody on here knows that Coley has lost the dressing room or not, what I do know is that to have the highest goals conceded column two years running is indicative of a problem. Is it personnel or is it tactics?
I really like Coleman and sincerely hope he, and Stanley come through. We will head downwards if he was to go, half the team would go as well and we don't have the money or replace either.
Come on Coley, many still believe and those that don't, want to.
