People on here were getting way carried away with the results we were getting, i agree with the manager who has said on quite a few occasions " THAT AVOIDING RELEGATION WILL BE A DECENT SEASON". We have lots of youngsters and a very small squad, i think as well as we've played, i think we've taken teams by surprise with our attacking style, which i think we should stick too, but fans should just have to remember most of our team are still learning , so mistakes and losses will happen.
Agree 100% People were calling him the second coming after 3 wins! Thorn had 3 wins! Coleman did, and so has pretty much every manager we ever had! real test of a manager is when the tactics aren't working you have others up your sleeve. From what I have seen from his arrival this is a massive deficiency of SP. Remember last season? He insisted on playing on ground even when the pitch was a quagmire gigiddy.
I am still in 2 minds with him. Sure he has had a good run, stats so far this season excluding pre-season :
W 4 D 2 L 3 win ratio = 44%
Good but not stunning. And his one senior signing is very poor so far.
The fact a poor Port Vale side were able to score 3 goals against city (only the 2nd time they have managed to achieve 3 goals this season), and we are leaking more than the titanic has to be cause for concern.
I know Keegan used this theory, but Keegan ultimately failed using this system! If the defence can sort it out then maybe there is no cause for concern, but I just haven't seen a single sign of improvement in the defence since august.
Need to sort it out SP - because if the goals dry up we will be in the brown stuff
