Defence - Does anyone really know...

[jonboyswan]

For me the most glaring omission is the lack of a settled back 4 (not 5 thats for sure)

Tymon, pederson, darling, key - to me that has the basis of a decent 4 with arguably our 2 stand out players this season (darling & key). You have heart, drive, attacking threat, leadership, balance and some pace on the flanks with those 4. I appreciate key and previously pederson have had injuries but why doesnt management seem to trust the above players mentioned

Darling is terrible an awful defender.

Best of a very bad bunch.

Best of a very bad bunch.

And he's got the odd goal in him.

It has to be

Key
Darling
Cabango
Tymon

I personally think there is a good duo in Cabango and Darling. One is 24 and the other 23, both learning but if their minds are right, both have the potential to push on.

When was the last bad game he had in a 4? Judging him in a 3 or as a right back is pretty harsh.

Completely agree and cabango again in a 4 has looked solid. Yes they both lack pace but you adapt the back line so there isnt much space behind.
The midfield is the issue at the club currently
