Right back

[Nymzee]

Depends how broken Jimmy Mc is, Koeman played him rwb early on in the season. Had a feeling we would go to 352 for these two away games anyway.

Played him there once and got hooked at half time.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Time for Holgate to have a chance. Out of such disappointment is often when other players emerge.

 

[caught]

Whenever I saw him, he always looked like a very good attacking full back mate.

Yeah, he's got forward quite effectively when I've seen him. And Holgate seems pretty comfortable higher up the pitch also. Obviously neither has the dynamism or directness of Coleman but not many do. It might change our play a little but, as these things often go, won't necessarily be to the detriment of the team as a whole.

As sad as this injury is there's now a big opportunity for one of our talented youngsters to step up for the remainder of the season and onwards.

That was the WBA game, played full game versus Spurs. Just shows Koeman sees him as an option but as I said depends how injured he is.

 

[Eggs]

I'm going off seeing him last season and the one before mate, thought he looked ready, hopefully it's a case of him getting stale a bit in the under 23s and needing to step up a level rather than him regressing.

What's his all round game like now, when he was 17-18 though he looked very much a attacking fullback type.

...he's competitive to say the least. Natural defender, came through the ranks as a CB despite his size. Mobile, not as pacy as Coleman but not slow and gets forward.

Holgate or Kenny.

 

[davek]

Kenny should have been blooded before now. Apart from an adapted CB in Holgate, he's left us exposed here at RB.

McCarthy knackered, I just wouldn't trust him to last 90 minutes.

Yeah he should have giving Hibbert a new contract like that blert Martinez did.

Jesus you'd find any opportunity to have a go at Koeman.

Cheers mate, my opinion is pretty much based around England games i've seen him in largely and his brief appearance last season - which i thought he took amazingly well

..he did, I think he might have actually set a goal up in that Norwich game.

 

[Jags..class]

No chance he's back in August - cant imagine we will see him until 2018

Yep, could be Christmas if we are lucky

 

[blue to the bone]

If only martinez had signed byram instead of letting west ham come in and get him we would have cover too.

 

[Jags..class]

We will have to buy a right back in the summer.

I know it does sound like you're on an anti-Koeman for no reason bash, but we do lack depth at RB. Coleman doesn't have a bad injury record, and you have to legislate for these kind of horrific things. If Rom gets broken too, I'm joining a monastery and avoiding footy the rest of my days.
Shame Holgate crosses like an angry child taking it out on a football.
