Has 'Chris Coleman' done a good job overall so far?

Yep. First thing to consider is that a lot of it is out with his control, I don't think any manager in the world would absolutely turn this lot around. How has he done? Well, I've got more confidence than I did with Grayson, he sounds intelligent and, overall, there has been a slight improvement even after losing our main striker. We've not dramatically improved though, but we certainly haven't got much worse. I think a 5 is absolutely fair at this stage, he's not done enough to warrant any more, but equally can't be totally blamed for us still looking poor

agreed

I suspect we would have had more of a bounce had McManaman not been sent off but that's the luck you have when you're down the bottom
 
The only time to judge him is the end of the season. If he keeps us up he'll deserve huge credit. He took the job when we all thought it was a choice between McCoist and Phil Brown!

He inherited a shambles of a squad littered with bad eggs, bad attitudes and rank average players.

He's had a bad run with injuries which has certainly contributed to him not being able to settle on his best side and our financial restrictions effectively made him wheel and deal in the transfer window with both hands and one leg tied behind his back.

If, with a combination of raw enthusiastic youth, average journeymen and remotivated has beens, he somehow keeps the good ship SAFC afloat this season, he deserves 10/10.

Fair point
 
6. No idea how people can score him so highly given his persistence with a formation that doesn't work and that we don't even have the necessary players for.
 
5, finishing above 3 teams out of Barnsley, Burton, Bolton, Brum or Hull isn't am impossible task that some pretend it is. Those clubs haven't a pot to piss in either.
 
5/10.

We are at rock bottom still. 3 goal comeback or not....Clearly did a grand job with Wales but it was a cup competition and in cup competitions you get flukes. Yet to prove to me it wasn’t just a fluke.

It's a fair question to ask

7/10 from me

Quite high considering we haven't progressed in the league like I thought and we still look as bad as ever in some departments. Hands tied on transfers he could do with bringing a better coach in to work on defence and set pieces

Still behind him and think he will sort the job out long term
 
He 'says' all the right things in the media and comes 'across' in a way that gives the fans something to get behind, but ultimately we haven't 'been' able to put a run together to start dragging ourselves 'to' safety

'7'
 
Saturday will be Coleman's 15th league game in charge - the same number that Grayson had before he was sacked. He averages 1.07 points per game, whereas Grayson averaged 0.67 points per game.

I'd give Coleman a 4 and Grayson a 1, purely because he's called Rodwell out.
