Coulson needs dropping
Posted: Tue Nov 12, 2019 11:54 pm
Looks so bad in the highlights this season, overweight, out of shape, slow and cumbersome. Get him out of the team and get him fit before bringing him back in.

Correct. I still think hes carrying an injury though.RedO wrote: ↑Wed Nov 13, 2019 10:39 am You're looking at things too simplistically.
We have no midfield protection. Teams break at our back line again and again, this will happen. If Marvin, or Turley, or Widdowson or whoever had been playing at centre half, the outcome would have been the same.
We need some proper midfielders that can offer something defensively.
We have other CM's but Clay and Wright get picked ahead of them.RedO wrote: ↑Wed Nov 13, 2019 10:39 am You're looking at things too simplistically.

I'm basing it on the whole season not just one game. He is clearly not fit and as such is a bit of a liability. A fit Coulson would be my first name on the team sheet. Would much rather him take out 4 weeks get fit and play well than continue like this for the rest of the season.redintheface wrote: ↑Wed Nov 13, 2019 8:44 am Ridiculous to scapegoat one individual after a team performance like that and really demonstrates how little some individuals understand football.
Only to begin with .Ross had seemed to have sorted that out and everybody was putting in a shift. Now we're back where we started.BiggsyMalone wrote: ↑Wed Nov 13, 2019 7:20 am He’s been carrying an injury, absolutely outrageous that he has to play every week. Clay is paying the price for having to do 3 other players jobs as well as his own for the last year and a half.
Also, we need to stop blaming players poor form on Fletcher. It was like it under the interim period too.

Other than Saturday when we beat ScunthorpeOrient Punxx wrote: ↑Wed Nov 13, 2019 2:18 pm Can’t blame anyone other than Fletcher - absolutely certain that the team would bounce if he was shown the door.
Happy to predict we will not win a game this side of Xmas with him at the helm.
If you are basing your conclusion over the whole season as you say then whilst I understand your reasoning, I don’t agree with it. Imho Coulson has been more reliable than both Ekpiteta and Happe. I wasn’t at Sunday’s match ( fortunately) so you’ll have a better idea than me if JC was carrying an injury. If he is struggling for fitness then I do agree it might be better to let him sit it out for a couple of games to recover, especially now that Turley is back and offers another CB option.Adz wrote: ↑Wed Nov 13, 2019 12:11 pmI'm basing it on the whole season not just one game.

Sorted them out? They started to get results after Ross said he couldn’t handle itRedDwarf 1881 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 13, 2019 12:41 pmOnly to begin with .Ross had seemed to have sorted that out and everybody was putting in a shift.
