Two semi finals. If we had of bought an experienced right back, something similar to a fit oviedo then we probably would have won both and won both cups.

We shouldn't be using kids as our first line of defense. They should either be 3rd string used only in absolute emergencies or against lower teams in cups etc or loaned out.

I've no issue with this. But my point is that we should be improving on what we have, so that (in this instance) Coleman becomes the backup rather than buying someone who, by the very definition, is not good enough for our first eleven.

Furthermore, as someone else pointed out, it was just as much RM's doing that we lost those matches. Besic at RB? An actual right back (eg Kenny) would've done a better job.

Seem to be picking at your posts a lot here mate sorry haha. My question here is if we always purchase our back-ups and push the kids back, when do they ever get a proper chance? Eventually they'd just get fed up and leave wouldn't they?

I doubt we could attract many RBs better than Coleman. By buying a backup to Coleman we would still be improving on what we have.

Again there's the risk. You are asking a kid to come in to a semi-final. It may have worked. It also may have gone horribly wrong and Martinez didn't want to take the risk especially since it would be unfair to the kid and it's not football manager, there are other things to consider.

The mistake was being in that position in the first place rather than playing Besic out of position.

When they have proven themselves on loan that they are good enough or when they force their way past the "backup" like Garbutt almost did.
