Coleman in hot water?

Last updated : 31 October 2005 By Mo Sultan
After the game at the weekend, Coleman said: "I hope he can sleep tonight because I won't be able to.

"You can't keep getting major decisions wrong, with these all within the opening 45 minutes.

"I know it's hard for him, and everybody gets one wrong, but three or four wrong?

"I had to change my team talk at half-time. Rather than saying to the players 'well done, keep going, you are doing well', I had to try and calm them down because they were going nuts.

"He has booked Moritz for a dive when it was a blatant free-kick on the edge of their box, while Collins was also denied a blatant free-kick on the edge again.

"There was also a handball in their box, and then one outside the box, although whether they were deliberate I don't know.

"But some of the referee's decisions - and it wasn't just him, it was his assistant at the side too - have contributed to us coming away with nothing from this game.

"I got in trouble once or twice last season for maybe saying the wrong thing, and maybe I am saying the wrong thing now and I will get into trouble again."
