Is John Coleman really the right man for the jobs what do people think of his signings since arriving and his tactics what about the response from the players i would be interested in peoples views
I think he's definitely still the right man for the job. he's had a very limited time to change things round, and is obviously limited to loan signings. i can imagine how difficult it must be to find players that will come to a team in a situation such as ours. most players probably wouldn't want o spend the last couple of months of their season getting hammered every week in a poor team, wouldn't do anything for their confidence. when Coleman gets chance to bring players in in summer, I'm sure we'll see a much better standard then.
agree that he is the best man we can get for the job but there's no way we're going up next year. Can't see how we're gonna get a brand new side to gel so quickly. It took hill years. Just hope we don't do a dagenham!
Initial improvment followed by a dip to a level as bad as any seen earlier in season.
Loan signings have made no significant impact to our position.
Obviously any real judgement will have to wait until next season when he has had a chance to give the team some sort of a shake up and bring in more of his own players within the constraints of those players already contracted for next season that he may be stuck with.Can't see there being a lot of clubs dashing to Spotland in the close season to cherry pick our existing squad on the strength of this season,so he may have to be persuasive and need board backing to pay up players that he that he wants rid of for the hoped for better season next time around
The Rochdale way is always to look at it as glass half empty, we are more likely to do a Daggers than a Swindon (the promotion aspect, not the mortgaging future part). I see no reason that JC cant build a side to come back up, given his experience and knowledge of L2, we need to build a side that is moulded in his image.
The tactics were wrong initially but he was brave enough to change it and go as attacking as we've been all season.
Will never understand Grimes being used in anything but a 4-4-2.
He was brave enough to leave out Holden and Jordan, and today established we don't need them. Pointless signings by Eyre, and that's no disrespect to the two players.
The Holden signing was almost unfair on the player himself. As much to get Trotman as to bring someone in. He offers total commitment but would never be anything more than a stop-gap and as soon as he replaced Darby at right back it defeated the purpose of getting him here in the first place.
Chris Dunphy told us at the AGM that the directors/management team had a very good meeting with JC recently regarding his plans for next season. Chris said they liked his ideas. Yes, there is a war chest and under the stewardship of Dunphy & Co I am sure that they will help JC with his plans.
I dont think there is anyone better who would want the job, I just dont understand the negative formations at home starting with 4-5-1, we should be attacking from the off in our predicament. Hopefully given a full pre season to bring in his own players and get them fit will see an improvement.
Looking forward to next season, time to build a new team and with the right manager now in place i am pretty confident we will finish in the right half of the table, who knows we could even push for a play off spot or dare i say it promotion.
Lets strike early in the close season transfer market instead of leaving everything until the last minute, get off to a good start and the feel good factor will be back in abundance. Lets hope we get players in who actually want to sweat blood for the club and their fellow team mates. Team spirit is key !!
Team spirit and conidence play a major part at div 4 level as there is little between the teams, we also need to add some pace and size to our team as maybe said earlier they have been missing this season.
Pace and size of the team is very important, we are too easily knocked off the ball and every team we line up against seems to be head and shoulders taller in general. The attributes you mention go a long way to winning matches in the lower league.
