Or simply not acting like a school boy and getting goal side and not diving in ?Agree not that good but not worse than the rest of the team. Goal came down the other side hackney making a clanger and paddy not wiping the guy out and taking a yellow
The fact it’s his first game in however long is exactly the point. This clearly wasn’t the plan. As said above, I’d love it if he went on to be a mainstay in the side, but it would have been by accident rather than design.First game for Boro in a couple of years for Coulson and he did OK, give the lad a chance please...
Thanks
Wondering whether there was truth in the Giles transfer story - he agreed the deal, then changed his mind when Luton offered more. Missed alternative LB targets pursuing him and are now left short.
Utterly mentalThe Coulson situation is really strange you'd have to admit. Two full seasons on loan at Ipswich, Peterborough and Aberdeen without impressing at any of them. Then gets his contract extended and ends up as the club's first choice (and only) left back.
It's bizarre!
Yep it was a mistake to take him off, McGree was supposed to be in that position but went wandering up field. .Coulson subbed before their goal , so we didn't have a LB meaning a gaping hole for Esse to exploit .
I think this was a tactical decision. We were trying to force play down the right hand side, particularly first half. As a result, Coulson was effectively playing an inverted full wing back role.I can't fault Coulson for his effort, gives 100% every time, other than that I'm not really a fan, his positional sense is terrible, leaves so much space, not just a little bit but like 20 yards from the attacking player, Millwall exploited this at time's and I think better team's will even more so.
Never going to be a good defender in my opinion.
