Won‘t be his fault. Coulson wanted to play games, club didn’t bring in the players he wanted, club brought in players he didn’t want, the referees have been poor, unbalanced squad inherited, players are making basic errors, we’ve been unlucky, should have been a pen, should have been a sending off, blah blah blah.
He galvanised us for a period, but since January we’ve been on a downward spiral with players regressing in terms of ability. His signings have been poor and the general gist of his press conferences seem to be designed to create a rift with those responsible for recruitment, distancing himself from Payero, Muniz and others whilst bringing in the likes of Bamba, Peltier and Olusanya (a “gut feel” signing). Forced to play Jones after planning to send him on loan (although now he apparently spotted something pre season) you can rest assured he’ll be out of the starting 11 soon.
Dijksteel and Bola have returned to their performance levels under Woodgate (Bola gives a goal away per game atm) with Spence and Coulson jettisoned leaving us ridiculously short yet we are playing a formation they’d be perfectly suited to.
It has to improve and improve quickly, otherwise we are in for a season of drudgery where fans will just drift away. Whatever happens you know when he leaves he’ll be a regular on Talksport slagging off the club, the fans and no doubt the chairman in his snide way.
But he will have done nothing wrong.
