He’s just not playing well. I can’t understand why you’re not allowed to say that? Not all of our players are all great at the same time.
Cogley came in initially as a back up right wing back. He ended up first choice and I thought did really well. Up until the middle of last season I thought he was still playing relatively well and deserved his place. I actually thought he’d do even better as a right back in a back 4 because he wasn’t good enough to play the whole right wing on his own and would benefit from playing with a winger in front of him.
Back end of last season he was really poor, but weren’t they all. This season he’s worse. I’m not sure whether he’s out of form, no good as a right back as @ianofcleveleys reckons, or whether it’s a bit of MJ Williams factor of the rest of the team getting better and he’s being shown up as the weak link now.
Whatever it is, it surprises me that people are watching the games this season not thinking he’s been a bit shite. Things break down with him, teams target him, he doesn’t support ACD well, he’s positionally suspect, the fouls he gives away are fucking infuriating.
We brought Christie in last day of the window, Tutu has played right back ahead of him on multiple occasions and our centre mid was put there for the last half an hour on Saturday instead of him - I’d say they all point to the fact that SS isn’t too happy with him either.
Anyway, my view is he’s played really poorly this season and once Christie is fit he should be replacing him. Others might think he’s playing just fine. All opinions
