We just can't defend
Posted: Sun May 16, 2010 2:50 pm
I've said it before and been slagged off for it, but today was proof positive that defensively we are rubbish. Too slow and unable to defend crossed balls into the box.
If that upsets people then so be it. But nobody can make excuses for todays shambles. The league table might show us as finishing 4th but imagine what it would be if we hadn't scored so many goals with the number of goals against an absolute joke. Conversley, had we not leaked so many we would have been promoted automatically.
Major surgery needs to be done in both defence and midfield if we are going to get anywhere near the play offs again. Sammy needs to have a major re-thinjk about what is needed for next season. For me, we need an injection of pace throughout from much younger blood. If that means certain favourites are 'bit' players then that's what has to happen.
As for Thursday, I'm just glad that we've sold all the tickets 'cause the gate would / will suffer.
Are we going to win 7-0?
Probably not, but certainly a performance that restores a bit of pride is needed.
