So he was ineffective despite still covering almost every blade of grass, putting in a man of the match performance and setting up the goal when he was moved to right back.
Cheltenham had no desire to attack so why bother putting a defender on? It was a brave move from Coleman and one that, in my opinion, should be applauded because it would have been easy to just throw Liddle on but he tried something different to go for the win.
On another day, perhaps Cheltenham go home having had their backsides handed to them, but it wasn't to be and we move on to Burton on Tuesday night.
Ultimately, the question is: would people have taken four points from Southend and Cheltenham? The answer, I'd guess, is yes. Perhaps picking up the unexpected three at Roots Hall makes it more disappointing not to have won tonight, but look at the bigger picture and it's not all that bad.
