v Barrow and Hereford, both opening goals came from not closing down in midfield; allowing the opposition to run at us and having a shot from 20 yards or so.
We must close down in midfield to stop this happening again tonight.

Agree it's our biggest problem for quite a while and other teams will start to work it out soon even the comentator fellow on BBC highlights points it out when Contantine has a run at us.

Same problem as last season then , and everytime we let them run at they always score . If we can see this problem then how come the coaching staff cant .

Or is it that the defence is sat sat too deep.

or is it we get caught on the break and don't have the pace to recover?

Could be , or lack of concentration for the last 15 - 20 mins of a game

I think its a constant problem we have, i lost count of the goals we have conceded by either the midfielders then the defenders backing off and allowing the opposition to shoot
