Ginja 26 Posted October 18, 2015 [quote user="SeattleCanary"]I stick by my finish of 19th. Awful defense will relegate us. Ridiculously soft.[/quote]Yep I''m sticking with my original prediction of relegation, our defence is fucking awful and January will be far to late to fix anything.

mrs miggins 0 Posted October 18, 2015 How can we let in 5 against Newcastle?At least this will ensure that we do actually buy some good defenders with the money we have.I''m sick of seeing whittaker start every game, not that any of them have showered themselves in glory.

Horse Renoir 1 Posted October 18, 2015 That''s what happens when you try and play this way, but 4 or 5 players just aren''t up for breaking a sweat.Forwards have been clever but none of the midfield have even worked half as hard as they should have.Second game in a row we''ve been beaten by a hungrier team who wanted it more Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,554 Posted October 18, 2015 Your shocking defending is my lack of numbers. Again Bassong had to be in two places at once and couldn''t do it. Shocking tactics? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sonyc 5,539 Posted October 18, 2015 Quite so Making Plans. I''ve learnt now not to expect. It''s taken decades!Never seen so much ball watching in our defence rather than the other teams players. It''s Champs / League 1 quality really. Seen lots of this kind of defending Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SeattleCanary 0 Posted October 18, 2015 It''s annoying that we obviously have goals in us, but a leaky championship defense was never upgraded. Now the tough games to come. We should''ve had more points by now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crafty Canary 497 Posted October 18, 2015 Our defending is an embarrassment. It would be poor for a Sunday League side let alone the premiership. I dread what Machester City, Chelsea and Arsenal are going to do to us over the next five games. Vital we get three points against West Brom next week as we will need them. We look good going forward but at the back, oh dear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sonyc 5,539 Posted October 18, 2015 We have had most of the game this second half ...arguably played the better football. But just so terribly vulnerable at the back. Such a shame. Could be the difference in a relegation season or not. Defence is being found out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Horse Renoir 1 Posted October 18, 2015 There''s no need to panic yet but Alex Neil has some issues he needs to sort out fast.Firstly we''re consistently slow starters, I don''t know why, but he might have to do a bit more to get them fired up pre matchWe haven''t worked anywhere near hard enough off the ball this year either. We pressed and worked tirelessly to get the ball back and close players down last year, we''ve lost this side of our game and need to get it back very soon as our tactical approach relies on itRuddy needs a word in his ear, he''s not commanded his box well enough for such a big guy, when he first came here that was one of his best attributes and he needs to improve his bravery and decision making againIf Brady and Redmond are linking with the full back in attack then one of our CAM''s has to hold back and cover, I don''t see much benefit to having 8 men forwards instead of 7, especially if it keeps costing us on the counterApart from that we look a good side, those problems are fixable and now we''ll get to see how good AN really is!

Fuzzar 1,702 Posted October 18, 2015 We''d looked the better team in the second half, quite compact and dangerous. Not sure we needed to bring we at that point as it was still only 3-2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
