Title: Coppinger
Post by: Dare to dream! on March 11, 2014, 11:19:29 pm
right back? Who'd have thought! Didn't do too bad tbh, still better than Wabara. We can't have him playing there against Forest Saturday, defensive loan needed.

I thought he was brill tonight - new position to prolong his career with us even more - class, experienced, ball playing full/wing back? Well done James!

Probably man of the match for me. Did Duffy's job for him for long parts as well.

A man for all seasons. A man for all positions.

Legend.

I think he slotted in there before if memory serves...

Man of the match for me, did everything he needed to and more playing out of position. He even started doing Duffy's job for him in the second half!

Did anyone see the moment n the second half,  about 15 mins from the end,  when Copps had the ball on the right,  level with their 18 yard box and he's waiting for the full back to bomb past him,  and he looks round and realises he is the full back and no one is coming? Priceless.

It will be different away.

Played his heart out but feel he would fall short with little attacking outlet?

Need a CB urgently on loan

That's shows what a good football brain he has, I said before kick off he could play anywhere bar goal. I include CB in that.

He'd give being GK a good crack I reckon

He didn't half make some cracking tackles too. He made a fantastic tackle in the box just before an offside was called in the first half that I said at the time a proper fullback would have been chuffed to bits with.

Yes, though it was hilarious. Good performance though and used his head more last night than he probably has in his whole career with us :lol:
