Jamie-H 1,322 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 (edited) So with the Bolingoli thing that makes it a CB, a LB, CDM, GK, ST and at least 1 winger? That's 6 players minimum Warnock seems to be wanting, if it's a starting LB he's after and he doesn't want to spend any of the budget on it so he might be best looking for a loan there I guess. Marvin Johnson is a winger with atrocious output g/a wise and he turns 30 later this year he's already given us his prime years and now hopefully he's a rarely started bench player but for that to happen we'd probably need to sign 2 new widemen. I just think we need fresh faces in but I get it you can't guarantee how many new players you can get so you extend Marvin to be safe with numbers in a worst case he's just so average which might be being too kind...

SmogDane 4,052 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 I don't think it's fair to give Marvin Johnson so much flack .. He has done what HE could to be a good servant of the club! Yes he is not a good defender, neither good at taking players on .. But come on, he fights and has a good pass/delivery .. Funny how some people need a booh boy .. If Warnock couldn't use him and/or teach him new tricks, he wouldnt have re-signed him! 8 Link to post Share on other sites

Guess this means the end for Coulson? If Warnock is willing to play bloody Johnson over him at LB then Coulson is always going to have Johnson cockblocking him this season whether it be starting or coming off the bench. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Has done nothing for years other than demonstrate he's not good enough. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

This is definitely a concern for me, yes. One of, if not our best player last season, best emerging talent at least, and the lad is gonna get shafted by a Warnock setup, royally pisses me off. I think the only hope for him now is in a role further forward and I'm not convinced that's where his best position is. At least it could keep him playing football and developing though, I guess. Could repeat this for Spence, too. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
DurhamRed 2,043 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Johnson is okay to throw on in the 91st minute when winning but isn't a starter at all and we need to bring in some quality pacy winger's if gonna go anywhere. We still haven't replaced Adomar had years to do this Link to post Share on other sites
Brunners 7,952 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 If it eases you guys at all, @Dan1234 and @wilsoncgp, Warnock has been bigging Coulson up in his interview today. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Dan1234 1,048 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 I don't really care what he says, I'm looking at the facts from his time in charge. He kept choosing Johnson there despite him having constant clangers and all round terrible displays. Why would it all of a sudden change now? I don't think Coulson is a winger but he was a exciting talent attacking wise from lb. Yes he needs some positional coaching but which young player doesn't? I'd love Coulson to get more game time next season. But there is no evidence to support that really... 2 Link to post Share on other sites

He spoke about this though; he thought Coulson was trying too hard and didn't think he was ready for the pressure of the games. If we weren't close to being relegated I think you'd have seen more of him & I think you'll see more of him this season. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
