Canary Jedi 579 Posted April 1 It was a big test of the elephant in the room with us coming up against one of the league’s best teams. I didn’t get to see the game, so I’d like to know what we were like defensively? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be fair nobody played well, especially midfield who were non existent and gave no protection to the back 4 at all. It was good to get that stinker out of the system.

Kenny Foggo 1,116 Posted April 1 Our defence today was shockingly bad. Duffy and McCallum especially. Not looking forward to Saturday Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mason 47 1,389 Posted April 1 Wouldn't particularly be blaming the defenders today. Whenever we drop into that 4-4-2 low block and try to hold, we end up defending constantly and there will always be gaps. It's one of the great mysteries of the Wagner era that it has almost always resulted in points lost but we will persist with it. The real problem is a lack of adaptability, be it in the players or the coaching. Leicester had such a clear plan to isolate & target McCallum, for example, but we didn't seem overly concerned with doing anything about it. The best defenders in the world would concede goals if constantly faced with overloads for an hour. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
