Echo News Shaq Coulthirst back training at Southend United

[Barry.C]

If you watched them on Ifollow like the rest of us how can you possibly have seen his movement off the ball?.

Even from the clips we could see when Acquah did win headers, he never once started his run before it was flicked and never put a single defender or the keeper under any pressure.

Though to be fair he did get in some decent positions from open play but ANG would never pass as his extra and needless touch would always snuff out the limited attacks we did have last season.

Actually Its taken me a while but Ive learned to watch a lot of movement off the ball and I thought the coverage was quite good. However I take your point and agree that at times he was a bit static
BUT in all the games I saw him play, i thought he put in quite an effort compared to some others , was unlucky not to score, received poor support , and at least added a strong element of excitement beyond anything Ive seen this season and way beyond the most of the dull signings made , And now are we seriously contemplating Wright and Coulthirst, the latter pulling up Phils trees ,

From most of your comments about him Ive certainly picked up the view he is strongly not your cup of char

And he’s injured himself whilst training with us. Hamstring injury.

How's that possible?
Do these players know anything about warm-ups; conditioning; strengthening exercises?
Or did his efforts to impress get in the way of these niceties?

You couldn't make this **** up.

If truth be told pulling up trees can be a bit tough on the old hamstrings.

Probably a knock-on effect from the 20 k run they did at midnight.

I heard it was 30k??

 

[bluesfansince1952]

Done his hamstring? Does that mean we signed him? They usually don.t get injured until they are on the books!

 

[Flinty]

Genuine question …is there an issue with our training pitches !!

Perhaps pulling something is better than playing at the moment. ???
