He made too many mistakes last night. Near the end when we had a bit of a head of steam built up and were threatening their goal, the Swiss looked stretched for once, the ball fell to Seamus, there was an easy ball out to his right (Sykes I think) - instead he tried the big switch over to Smzodics, made an absolute balls of it and it went out for a throw. Totally deflated the moment, you could see a few of our players shaking their heads. I think he did it twice, the 2nd ball to Ferguson went straight out of play.......

He works hard and is tenacious .... surely this is the bare minimum. Some of the time his positioning is a little off and he appears to be really busy scampering across to make a tackle, but if he did his job right he wouldn't have needed to in the first place. He still gets huge a cheer from some in the crowd when he's covering his own mistakes. One time in the first half on Saturday the ball was out on our left, it broke high over to our right side of defence, Seamus had time to take it down and pass it out - instead he had a big wind up to hoof it clear, mistimed it and sliced it straight out.  In the second half we had a really good move building, it was switched over to him, but is control was horrible and it went out for a throw. These are possibly small things but if we are relying on Coleman we really aren't at it. He seems a really good guy and super attitude etc but we need better. Pre leg break he was excellent for his drive and work rate, but everyone ages, its catching up with him rapidly.    If Ogbene had shown an ounce of maturity/cop on in squaring the ball we’d likely be talking about him as the match winner. Football is a fickle sport. I do agree he was off the pace in general but that’s down to match sharpness too. He’d be far more use in the back 4 as a RB than as a RWB. I don’t mind him playing RWB against top tier opposition for his defensive ability.  Against 4th/5th/6th seed opposition i don’t want to see him playing. Doherty,Ebosele even Knight or Ogbene far more offensive options against those sort of teams

Why  ? The one thing we do have millions of are emerging young CBs who will be there for the next four or five campaigns  ?   More than we need. Already playing five three two because of it.  In what circumstances does an aging full back soon to be retiring take their minutes  ?  Any of them from a list of probably six emerging at a good level.  For the exact same reason he's already been playing that position for us - Experience & leadership on the field, which we're sorely lacking these days. Perhaps you've been too pissed up to notice.
