What HAS happened to our defence? It was so solid.

What HAS happened to our defence? It was so solid.

For me a few things.. our passing and possession has really dropped off accuracy wise, we are being pressed by 2 forwards more now and getting caught. Also the positioning of a fullbacks and losing possession especially Key is costing us. Vig distribution has been more wayward and and the need for a leader as all but vanished. Since the Hull away game we have lost all intensity in our game and a noticeable confidence drop.

We need leaders with characters now, also a midfield which can compete physically and offer some creativity. Eom and Ronald need to offer more quality from wide areas and play to the strengths of Vip.

Our coaching and set up is just not working, yes our squad is lean but there is a decent 11 that can perform better than what they are doing at the moment.

Be interesting to see the impact of LOB to see if our shape and passion reveals itself

It wasn’t solid. WBA should have scored six in the second game, it was just lucky. Its luck ran out.

The flanks are wide open to pace under Willyball, as they were under his mentor. Willy has added a largely unoccupied midfield to the mix with his clowning for the opposition to run through at will ( y)

Just reading your post leads me to the inescapable conclusion that we are right royally f****d

Breakfast stop in Warminster. I'd take a point if offered now. A big defeat and not turning up will surely force Coleman's hand.

It's as i see it. There maybe other factors going on but let's see if the pattern continues today.

Oh I’m not disagreeing with the analysis, just that we have no tools to fix it, unless LoB is beckenbaur, Overath and Muller rolled into one.

Unfortunately, thinking about it, we do have one massive tool.

Despite everything I'm hoping for an exciting game and a much needed win. Hope spings eternal. COYJB.

If bonehead starts O'Brien on the bench my phone is going through the window...

What is the use in Tymon as a defender?
