Brought on 3 youngsters when Wales were holding France fairly comfortably this half .
What a gamble .
Not a gamble really. He can say that we'd showed we were capable of holding France for an hour and then that he was also prepared to back his younger players too.
As I say this France get a second but we have already looked far better with them on
Wales were holding France comfortably , by briinging on the more attacking youngsters the spaces were going to appear for France , it was the danger . Much more exciting to watch from a Welsh perspective though .
I would say that went in his favour ,Wales were much better with the youngsters on .
People are very hard on Coleman. The only success we had was on the back of Bale - and Coleman's tenure brought more success than we have ever been used to. Without Bale we don't have any cutting edge up front and Coleman is hardly to blame.
N.Ireland made the play offs with our former goalkeeper playing up front.
Wales failed, with the (former) most expensive player in the World, and probably the current best British midfield player.
Coleman has never been a good manager, he just inherited a good group of players.
24 teams qualify these days.
Should be a piece of piss with the players Coleman has at his disposal.
Should have had Kevin Sheedy if the WFA had done their homework
That was a good team, and we came close to qualifying a few times, even though it was mote difficult them days.
This current team is full of premier league players, and qualifying is a lot easier now.
If Ireland, N Ireland, or Scotland has Bale and Ramsey in their squad, I bet they would have qualified.
I remember the Scotland game at Cardiff stadium . Scotland were 1-0 up at half time , Coleman’s family looked suicidal at the bar,results hadn’t been good under him . Bale scored 2 goals and the rest is history. Only Roy of the Rovers manager comes close to such a debt to one player in football .
