Title: Worst defence since 97/98?
Post by: BillyStubbsTears on October 30, 2021, 04:56:40 pm
Actually, no need for that question mark. Of course it is. We are on the way to conceding 85+ goals this season. It is horrific to watch. Like a Conference defence coming up against a decent Championship side in a Cup match, week after week.

I've noticed defenders far too often content in just kicking the ball out of play, (just like the conference days), resulting in giving the opposition possession.

I've noticed us giving away silly, unnecessary free kicks, (just like the conference days), giving the opposition possession.

I've seen us just kicking the ball anywhere, in the hope it will go to one of our players, (just like the conference days), giving the opposition possession.

I've seen us winning headers on rare occasions but might have well not bothered because the ball invariably goes to the opposition (just like the conference days), giving the opposition possession.

I've seen the keeper too often punching the ball instead of catching it (just like the conference days), giving the opposition possession.

I could go on but I can't really be arsed, to be honest.

Been saying this for ages. Last season not much different either for much of season. Total soft touch. This current defensive unit is terrible.

Our defenders are total shit and ought to be ashamed to call themselves footballers. Not their fault i guess that Wellens thinks they are L1 standard when they'd struggle to cut it in the National League.

Up your game defence or piss off!

It's a completely different unit apart from Anderson though. I don't know how that happens. Under Moore we were well drilled, prone to an error or two, but largely organised at least. We've gone so far backwards in this regard it's unreal. I can't fathom what we do in training.

Owulu isn't comfortable playing at LB. Comes across on the pitch, and it came across when he was asked about it in the preview press conference the other day.

can't understand why he does'nt play a proper left back for balance i know hes only a young lad but its better than what we are doing now, we have'nt the players to play 4.3.3 change the system let try and make it harder for the opposition at least.

It's time to go 5 at the back. Drop the waste of space Smith who doesn't want to know. Rowe and Knoyle wing backs
