dont get rid of JC.

i will post my rant from the lanc telegraph comments page
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It is not time for coleman to go.
I was also in attendance last night.
Yes the manager has stuck with defenders he has publically criticised and threatened to drop, but their is no better solution for ASFC than Coleman and Bell.

The main problem yesterday was tactics.
We didnt not change our play for the pitch conditions nor did we change it to nullify the opposition.

We have a habit of getting beaten by teams who play on the fast paced, direct counter attack.

The solution is clear - sit deeper, but you can not play short interchange passing and accomidate Ian Craney in central midfield with this style of play.
You need to play with pacey forwards, dare I say it - drop Mullin and play with Dsane and McGivern who offer genuine pace to run onto direct passes.

Craney who was the worst player yesterday, needs to be dropped.

Lets adapt our tactics and drop a few of the managers favourites when we play against teams who adapt a more direct style of play.

Anyone else noticed Ian Dunbavins form has dropped since the goalkeeping coach left?
Yesterday, Fearon was left to warm Dunbavin up - not ideal preperations for a proffesional club.

The referee was rubbish - its not an excuse, but a fact. The only player worthy of a booking was number 6 Lee.

Peterborough players constantly complained to the ref and argued decisions; after a while they all went their way.

Our lads never seemed to react like a team who where being delt and injustice, so the referee had no extra incentive to give us any of the 50/50 decisions.

Getting rid of Coleman is not the answer.
Having a fans forum and debating his tactics openly and hopefully making him aware of his mistakes to the benefit of future results is for the clubs long-term benefit.
