The 22-year-old goalkeeper, on loan from Huddersfield, has set himself the lofty target of re-producing the stellar work carried out by ex-Manchester United loanee Henderson.

Coleman has so far played in all five of Town’s games this season. Henderson, now at Sheffield United after signing a new Old Trafford contract, played 48 times for Town last term.

Henderson was at Tuesday’s 0-0 at Doncaster to support his former side.

Coleman said: “Definitely it (loans) can work. He got it right all last season. I obviously kept track of it and he was very highly-rated here.

“It’s good that there’s pressure in a way, with the keeper doing so well last year.

“I have to step up and be just as good.”
