Quote: BigTime "Interesting to read this again Orange. In terms of Coleman I think Skolars fans generally felt he did a decent job with minimal resource. If that is where we are then he may turn out to be a good fit, although it pretty dispiriting stuff for a relaunch which anyone could see coming a mile off. One thing is certain he was not ‘highly spoken of’ on here. The concerns coalesced around his record of losing more than he won year in year at the level below. Well here we are- he still has a little time. Things may turn around a little.
As to the squad DH may have invested very little in which case it may be true he was impressed with what he got. IIRC the issue of the lower league ‘projects’ was brought up on here at the time. Many of us were unable to identify the subtle difference between the lower league projects and the lower league players full stop who seemed to flood in on a weekly basis over the closed season.'"
The point is Mustard is a league one coach, and is being found out at the higher level. I don't believe DH hired him on the assumption we would be in League one next year (in which case it would be a good signing). But the squad we have would struggle right now vs swinton, rochdale, doncaster, which is very worrying.
Our entire season seems to be based on being slightly better than Dewsbury and Workington, but we are allready two points behind Dewsbury... Ominious times
