Without encouraging another 'let's sack Coleman' thread, one of the problems for managers with little league experience is the amount of contacts they have within the game. JC had a large number of contacts in the non-league game, as that is where both he and JB plied their trade. At league level it's a different story.

In addition to that, many L2 managers have a firm grasp of tactics and often when they have changed their play, JC hasn't acted soon enough to counteract the changes and we've lost games that we were previously well placed to get something from. That's something you saw a lot less of in the non-league game.
