And the disaster that is Green''s injury. As I write this, Johansson has completed his hat-trick. Not a fan of Ward personally but its the fault of the whole team to concede so many. Francis and his silly challenges are not helping at all.

But as I predited removing Holt made no real difference as the alternatives are not significantly better - Mullers and Safri ae not real options as both are equally limited but in different ways - and the main problem is with the organisation of the defence.

To put it right Worthy needs to

1.   Sort out the defence - no more Championhip standard defender - Flem and Eddy our for Helveg and Shackell who both deserve a run of 5+ games.

2     Revert Hux to being a striker - he is far to peripheral and since the Everton game has looked more and more ineffective - again too easily marhsalled by the addicks defence.  Either Sven or Leon to partner dependent upon form.

3.    Stick to the class players - in midfield Francis, Jonson and Bentley with either Mullers or Safri - choose on and stick with them for 5+ players to play themselves in.

We have 2 slots - central midfield and goal scorer - that we are short on quality at the club - we have that ability in defence but are choosing not to play them - ludicrous.  None of us has seen Doc in defence - Charlies Dad was impressed for the reserves - perhaps he too should get his chance.

13 games gone and the good early defence has been lost and our attacking threat has disappeared through a team selection that puts the wrong players in.  QUALITY first please.
