And what better way to learn a postion than to play infront of quite possibly the 2 best RBs in modern football.

By playing it?

And is Phil Jones who was an established Prem player who is versatile enough to play other positions when needed the only player you can come up with when trying to name a young inexperienced right back who instead of getting experience in that position played at right mid instead?

As for Moyes and players : Loius Saha mate.
 
Umm I'm pretty sure that Coleman has progressed as well as he could've as he's given plenty of time at RM when he wasn't really ready for PL at any position. He was given a lot of time as RB on preseasons too, contrary to someone posted here earlier. Anyway, I hope we'll see a few more appearances of him at RB. Promising signs with him.
 
We can deploy him against the bottom 12 and while we sacrifice a lot on defense he balances out the attack. Teams can't load up defensively on the left anymore and teams can no long pack 10 back and not expect us to get any scoring chances.
 
Absolutely loved him at RB versus Southampton. Loved him.

His defending was suspect at times (misjudging the header at the end), and he still needs to work on his defensive positioning, but his ability to maraud up the right hand side was sumptuous. SUMPTUOUS.

He was just great attacking yesterday - and put in some crosses we were sorely needing on the right. I love Mirallas's cutting in play, but his crosses so far have sucked balls.

So Seamus, GOOD ON YOU. Please stick to this and like it. Please. Cause I think you could come good. Really.
 
Do think he will play most of his football at RB this season, preparing him, hopefully to become our first choice RB next season.

This really. I'd prefer it if he was used at home for the most part too. Away to Chelsea, Utd, Arsenal, City, Spurs, Liverpool and he could struggle. Then again, it would not be uncommon for Hibbo or Neville to either...
 
Quite how the best way to train a young inexperienced right back is to not actually play him at right back i'll never know. Maybe 6-10 games at most in right mid to give him game time in the Prem and help him learn the role of that position as to how it helps a right back.

But 2 years at right mid after being signed as a right back, after making his early good impressions as a right back and helping Blackpool get promotion as a right back is ridiculous in anyones book.

Unless you can show me another club who have played a young inexperienced right back at right mid for 2 years?

I think the fact for the last 2 seasons we have had 2 RB's and NO RW's explains why Coleman has been used there as apposed to RB. With the options we have available at RW now Coleman is free to pick up that role again...

It's not rocket science or a conspiracy to see what has happened...

He's looked promising in his few games anyway. I wouldn't start him away at the big clubs yet but at home he could turn out being key this season.

Yup - that's my question too. Hard road games...do you play him in those? Sink or swim mentality or protect the lad? Honestly, I'm not sure of the answer... But luckily we have a couple more games before we have to answer that.

He should play against Wigan at RB.

He made his debut for us at left back in the 5-0 away defeat against Benfica, he can probably cope with playing in the harder away games, without it knocking his confidence much.
 
Certainly growing into the role now....it has given more threat down both flanks now....still a few basic errors , like clearing across his own box in the 2nd half , but all in all , the lad can be pleased with his recent performances
