Town interim boss John McGreal says forward Wes Burns and left-back Hayden Coulson are still a little way off a return to the team having been out with injuries.

Coulson, on loan from Middlesbrough for the season, suffered an injury at Wycombe just over a month ago, while Burns has missed the last six matches with a hamstring injury.

“A little while off at the moment,” McGreal said when asked about the pair. “We’ve just got to manage them at the moment, they’re still with the physios.

“We haven’t had any dates as such. I think Wes might be coming towards getting on the grass at the moment, but still a way away from the first team.”

kpblues added 13:56 - Dec 9 These two have been a big loss. I know you mustn't rely on individual players being fit but our left back position continues to be a concern and Burns attacking and supply to Bonne could have just got us out of our present difficulties.

Linkboy13 added 14:57 - Dec 9 Massive loss Burns who along with Bonne the main attacking threats in our squad. Coulson has hardly played and people seem to think he's the answer to our left back problems jury's still out for me. Looks very lightweight to me and because of this will have injury problems. Might be better employed as an attacking left sided player where it's less physical.

Trac70 added 15:31 - Dec 9 With the greatest of respect to the players who are currently playing in the full backs position, but, I definitely think we need to strengthen is those 2 positions in January. KVY still well off it, love JD but he isn't an attacking right back. Coulson is good but not ours and injured. Penney is very average and Clements is one for the future.

Marinersnose added 16:01 - Dec 9 Burns is a huge asset to the team but even when he's played he never looks capable of 90 minutes. Agree with others that he's one player that ignites our attacking play but he clearly has injury issues. As for Coulson I rate the lad highly but I hear he miles away from playing. Clements is developing well but he can't be relied upon as a first choice left back. Penny also work in progress and probably behind Clements in his attacking play.Burgess is not a full back and is not comfortable on the ball. Has to be used sparingly imo .
