So is this a smoother in order to prize Charlie Adam away?
If Moyes thought Coleman would be figuring in the squad next season, he would surely have played him now rather than loan him out. I don't now expect Coleman to make the starting 11 next year unless we have injuries.
We can only presume it's back to the Hibster once he gets fit. I don't think Moyes is going to address this position for at least another season.
Don't get me wrong, as Hibbert is a very good defender, and on form is very worthy of the position, but I was hoping to see Moyes try something new there for the remainder whilst Hibbert was out.
Yobo is extremely quick and good at going past people. He could test him there.
Gosling could have been played there too rather than sit on the bench.
As it stands, we have Neville, who is not our future hogging the position. This concerns me a tad.
If Nev picks up another injury, who will he put there? Answer: Gosling. The problem here is that Gosling isn't given much playing time, and is at the end of his contract. Will he stay knowing Moyes only wants him there to warm the bench? That might depend on who asks for his services.
When Moyes brought in Jacobsen, he obviously wanted to address the situation. He allowed him to leave to the surprise of fans everywhere.
Either he has something up his sleeve for right back next year, or he's wasted 2 seasons of opportunity there to experiment.
This position is fastly becoming the equivalent to the Queens throne. Another year - same old face.
