Sufyellow 222 Posted April 10 9 hours ago, Jim Smith said: Whatever combinations of defenders we put out is just not good enough defensively and Wagner won’t allow us to play on the front foot if we get our noses in front in a game like that. even in the scum game we nearly let them back in it in the last 15 minutes by sitting back. Maybe Rowe’s return could allow us to put Kenny at the back with Duffy which looked our best pairing but I just have zero faith in any defence with Hanley, Baath, Gibson or McCullum (who I like generally) in it to defend well enough. We still have a huge problem in midfield defensively, he wants fullbacks to play high but there's no defensive midfielder half the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His delivery in attack is not great and he's very poor with balls coming into the box. Gives it all but that's not enough if we went up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston 56 Posted April 10 6 hours ago, Indy said: Didn’t Shakey go with Smith? Little wonder we can’t defend with Shakey at the back!😂😂 But absolutely this, we need two decent mid 20’s at most CB and get rid of the high cost journeymen bought in because they used to be good! Duffy, Baath & Gibson out the door please! Deluded as usual . All of the "class" defenders that were City world beaters are getting splinters on their arses every week sat on the bench because they couldn't hack it . Most couldn't hack it here - Godfrey , Aarons , Omo and the world beating full back who failed all the way down to Watford . Get real . For the last two seasons the defence let down by any kind of midfield cover . Doesn't matter who plays there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's by no means a dead cert, but it's definitely achievable. It's not like we don't win more games than we lose. Our problem will be playing at home first, if we get a win how will he approach the away leg, if its not all guns blazing and we sit back we are in trouble.
