Coleman had been happy to give other youth players a chance, so there must be a reason for it. He thinks Gooch, honeyman etc are ready but not stryek nor beadling. Why I have no clue but Coleman obviously sees something we don't.
Yes but how many times has it worked before that? I dont blame him in the slightest for not changing a winning team against Sheff Wed but why didnt he bring some attackers on when we really had nothing else to lose. I really dont know why he even bothered signing LuaLua.
I agree with you there, when we've got nothing to lose and he refuses to make an attacking change it makes you wonder what he's playing at. You get that sort of thing with any manager though I suppose, even Mourinho gets a load of criticism for being too defensive. Not saying Coleman is Mourinho or anything but every manager is questioned by their teams' fans, especially when results aren't going your way. By the sounds of it we could have beaten Wednesday if a few decisions had gone in our favour that should have but didn't.
With the game at 1-1 he decided to change our rightbacks for whatever reason bringing Mathews on for Love?. We conceded the second goal within minutes of this taking place. On the 83rd minute with the game still there for the taking still at 1-2, he decided to take 2 attacking players off in Honeyman and Gooch and replace them with Asoro and Ejarja. Mcmanaman and LuaLua remained on the bench. The rest is history.
The opposition played like us in that game, giving goals away for fun, all our goals were gifts, just as Wednesdays were, we have been doing this all season, they havent, that's the difference. This league is so poor and thats what hurts, our demise is self inflicted.
Not vsure if I was watching a different game to a lot of people, but I could not fault the efforts of the team and thought they deserved to win.. Some of the youngens are showing signs that they can play football.. We need a keeper who we can rely on and a couple of decent defenders and things will be looking up next season..
I believe that if we'd had a keeper good enough to play for a championship side in the top half we'd be well safe. I shudder to think of how many points our keepers have directly cost us and indirectly they're a drain on our confidence because you need to be able to rely on your keeper and our players know ours are ****e and will cost us a goal or worse.
Going down fighting or going down attacking? Big difference. Going down gung ho will look a whimper to everyone on the planet when we lose all our final games by 5 goal plus margins. It has to be balanced to save further embarrassment imo. I'd rather go own with more points on the board but we'll not gain another single point setting up to attack imo. Can't score goals, can't retain the ball and can't defend. Setting up to attack will result in embarrassment imo.
That's mainly what I'm thinking of when I say it doesn't matter who our manager is because our players are so bad, yes there's a bit of fight in some of the outfield players but when your goalie options are such that you literally may as well not play one and the score would be the same you ain't winning anything.
I was that disgusted with Camp on Monday that after the 3rd goal I'd have substituted him and stuck an outfield player in goal just to suitably embarrass him.
He didn't take love off though, oviedo took a knock and Matthews came on for him. We still, imo, dominated the game. Its defensive mistake that cost us, not our tactics or formation
Still dont understand why no risk was taken when we were obviously loosing a game we needed to win. A point was no good, goal difference is not going to save the day, what was their to loose, pride, do me a favour. Max can be no worse than the comedy act of Steele and Camp that we have been suffering all season, and I don't now what Coleman sees in training, but I know what see week in week out, and the table confirms.
